I wouldn't let it get you down too much. Honestly, many people playing MMO's seem to have a pretty warped idea as to what a realistically proportioned or attractive guy or girl actually is. I've lost count of the amount of times people have said Graeham isn't a 'real man' because he's not a Highlander with the height and weight slider pushed up to maximum.
I've had the same issue in other MMO's too. At this point my first instinct is to simply roll my eyes and tell those sort of role-players to kindly piss off somewhere. Then I stop, think, and realise that I actually feel sorry for them since they're quite clearly deluded.
So even conventionally attractive characters are subjected to bizarre standards that are by no means rooted in reality. Not too surprising though given the sort of people certain playable races attract. I'm not saying all Roegadyn and Highlanders are like that but a significant chunk play up the idea of their character supposedly being so much bigger and stronger than everybody else. Not too bad if it's limited to IC situations but when it leaks OOC...
