There's a lot of finger-pointing going on in this thread.

It's "all the other gays" and "pretty much all gays are, except for me, of course."
Sorry for being honest and admitting that I'm picky, I guess

It's nothing to apologize for. It's not like you said "ugly people should be put to death" or something like that. I don't see where the vitriol comes from. You're 22 right? It's also an age thing. Everyone's mentality changes in time.
I think people just like to hound people who don't say things the politically correct way. For me, I don't have anything against a heavy person, for example, but I couldn't date them. I know that I'm not aroused by chubby/ bigger men. I've tried and I can only pray to get it up. So you've got to aim for what you respond to most. That goes for anyone. I've developed feelings for guys that I wouldn't normally go for but if they as a whole don't click with me, what can I do?
But for the topic, gay men are shallow. Whether it's about looks or money or whatever most gays I know only intertwine with guys who meet their ideal man. That's not even talking romantically/sexually but for friends. It's all kinda disheartening because two people can bond even if they're worlds apart in looks. Straight guys (even the uber hot ones) can have "ugly" friends. You look at them and think "how is he friends with him?" I suppose that goes to the gay way of thinking. That somebody has to be on your level or equal in a certain regard before you can get to know them or be around them.
Of course that's not how it goes for everyone. I do think however that people who grow up hearing or thinking that they're attractive tend to be more shallow. It becomes a bigger part of their personal identity than it should. Then again that's a second party and nobody should really be telling anybody else how they should be. I can only work on me and my business isn't on what other people do. I think this quote is very fitting. "We accept the love we think we deserve" but you can change love to friends.
I wish we could all just be friends and lovers regardless of how we looked
