I believe it’s perfectly fine to say “I do not like the appearance of X”, “I do not like how the voice of Y sounds”, etc. Very few would argue that we should just command ourselves to like or not like some quality in a person. If, while gaining life experience, we learn to generalize (say, you find you never seem to romantically appreciate people who live in a particular geographic area), then that’s just that; if we are careful that this does not spill over into other areas of life then that’s your prerogative. I imagine this sort of generalization may cause one to miss out on interesting people, but that’s individual’s own business. I shouldn’t feel entitled that you like me; if I suspect you not liking me is a result of that sort of over-optimization on your part, then that’s tragedy but such is life.
