WTF? You have to be kidding me...seems like 90% of this forum seems to be made up of people over 55 years old, who are extremely picky.
So many of you only own, use or want to talk about $2-$10K custom cues with very specific requirements: "has to have ivory ferrule from a baby elephant between 1.5-2 years old", "gotta have the ultra joint, otherwise nope", "hate floating points", etc, etc.
EVERYONE looks at and factors in a cue's aesthetics before purchasing--if you don't, you are the outlier man.
