Boyfriend said I am not conventionally attractive

Hello Reddit, I just want to know If I am overreacting to this. So me and my boyfriend got into a conversation of pretty privilege and conventionally attractive discussion. Now, as an example to how it doesn't matter ultimately, he said, "Like how you are not conventionally attractive, I find you attractive because I fell in love with you, you became attractive to me after that. With my ex it was different, because I found her attractive before getting into the relationship. But ultimately, I want to be with you and not her" and blah blah to prove his point.

Now this to me sounded like he STILL finds his ex attractive and he finds me attractive only because my face grew on him?

This hurt me a lot because I want to be the song that hits in the first listen, not a song that "grows" after a while. Idk I might be overthinking this and maybe he came with good intention.
