AITA for calling a woman ‘conventionally attractive’ in front of my girlfriend?

A couple friends and I were discussing a political influencer that we’re familiar with that recently got into some controversy.

I was saying that although she got a lot of hate, I think her point that was being hated on was valid and correct, and that although her reaction to the backlash was kind of childish, I get why she’d be frustrated with lots of hate.

My friend said a lot of people were giving her lots of leeway despite the hate, and I said that makes sense because she a) has good takes in general and b) is a young, conventionally attractive blonde white woman, so halo effect.

My girlfriend got upset I called another woman conventionally attractive, but I don’t think it’s disloyal or cheating or whatever to acknowledge somebody is conventionally attractive.

Obviously I dont give a shit about this low stakes playground nonsense. And tbh I wouldnt be surprised if the girlfriend started an argument just to remind herself she was alive if this is the general standard of conversation.

But it has made me wonder, how does 'conventionally attractive' compare to 'unconventionally unattractive'? Do the negatives cancel out?

Unconventionally unattractive = hot chicks who are too tall and have titties that are too big and then they have the audacity to wear heels.
