<Snipped quote by idlehands>
Being the statistic of majority is also helpful outside of specific tastes.
Let's face it: love isn't concrete and no matter how much of a 8/10 personality you have you're probably not going to go all the way with everyone because that deep-south family may be on edge of you're Muslim. Or if they're from outer-LA the same if you're black marrying into white or something.
If you let other people dictate your relationship with your SO you're making a mistake. Barring an abusive situation, people whether family or friends should not be involved. A relationship is between the two people and everyone else should stay the fuck out of it.
