Choosing Tali is all about platonic love. By doing that, you are walking the very mature path of saying "I don't care about appearance, I know we will never have sex, but I truly love her personality enaugh to only be with her forever".
Quitting because you discover that she is not pretty is kind of disgusting flavour of hypocritical, no?
Except you nail her at the end of the game.
I'm pretty sure it went beyond making out.
I guess you're putting sex on a back burner because you have to be cautious with it, but I think the implication is that you were definitely a little bit more than platonic with Tali right before the suicide mission.

No, not really. As I said before, judging by the similarity in DNA and leg structure with Turians, I'd assume she has some reptilian characteristics.
According to the wiki article, Quarians are similar to mammals, even to the point of nursing their young.
"Quarians have an endoskeleton, lips, teeth, and two eyes with eyelids and tear ducts. Their ears or ear analogues differ in a noticeable fashion from those of humans, with references made to "what [passes] for the quarian version of an ear" (Ascension, p. 235). Females have mammary glands. Quarians may have evolved along similar lines as Earth's higher primates, much as Australia's koalas developed like Africa's leaf-eating prosimians: a phenomenon called convergent evolution."

Yay convergent evolution!
