      The way that I have seen people use it is as “I find you unattractive, but I dont want to hurt your feelings”

        Unattractive, yes, but not ugly.

        It’s more like “I personally don’t find you attractive, but I guess someone else might”

            Sure, but that doesn’t mean it’s always imaginable. People generally don’t realize how broad the human experience is.

            So what they actually mean is “I can imagine a hypothetical person being attracted to you”
