I'm your total opposite. Requiring style in others is a huge red flag. If you care about more about the clothes of a person than about the person, I don't want to know you.

Fair enough. Personally, I prefer personality over appearance. But I also think it's a visual turnoff to see no effort, also because the way a person dresses is usually the first thing most people notice. I do, anyway.

Life is short and I choose my mind's content; I don't care about clothing except for modesty, minimal work convention or warmth.

But style is also part of a person's personality no? I say this as someone who slaps on clothes on themselves more often than not.

Yes, if you accept "no style" (not caring about clothes at all) as a kind of style.

Demanding a non-null style regarding appearance is unacceptable to me.
