I find that when I play a female character, that she tends to be reacted to as 'beautiful' or 'not so much' depending more on the personality I give her rather than her physical description. This is probably because people see the personality more. So, I have very beautifully desced chars who are crazy or venomous, and they tend to get what I'd think of as ugly-reactions. There's none of that 'The guy walks in and looks over at the pretty woman' sort of posing going on.

I find it kind of interesting.

I also have some not-so-prettily-desced females who have had very favorable reactions to their appearance (specifically, mildly overweight, 'plump' characters).

Older characters, even if they're quite lovely for their age, tend to be regarded as unattractive.

I try to describe rather than tell, so I don't use words like 'beautiful', and I think the response to my descs may simply echo the fact that either players or characters have different physical preferences.
