If that's your preference then it's understandable that you would shy away from anything that exploits fanservice.
I don't think it's merely a matter of having a refined taste or not.....I know you didn't mean this in your post, but it reminded me of an earlier discussion where people threw around the term "elitist" towards people who don't like fanservice shows...I just don't think it's that simple. There's the refined, intellectual type of anime (Mushishi, Tatami Galaxy) and then simpler, but still endearing stuff (lKodocha, Maison Ikkoku). But liking or disliking ecchi/moe/fanservice shows is a separate topic that has more to do with liking/disliking certain trends in those genres and not identifying with their target audiences.
