^---- THIS

I only *want* someone to consider a romantic relationship with me *if* they are genuinely attracted to me -- *AND* vice versa (if they bring me sexual fulfillment).

Nobody owes anybody else an automatic crack at dating them.

I don't see what's so complicated about that. I'll be platonic friends with people regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. But why should my pleasure and amorous satisfaction take a backseat to the opinions of random observers?
