Second Life is a visual medium and we want to see things that please us and we want to be pleasing in return. Now, that said, pleasing is a subjective matter which is why some may choose to be goths and some may choose to be covered in blood or gore and others prefer a more human shape. But in that case we will probably be attracted to other people who are goths, furries, etc. I don't think there is anything necessarily wrong with that.
