      I’d say it’s obvious that that’s not what the comic is saying but it’s probably hard to tell the difference if no one has ever been attracted to you.

      The more your relationships are about appearance, the less you can know about yourself and them since you are certain to not chase a partner to be a trophy among other effects

        It’s not about being a “trophy”. I just want to be with someone that I’m physically attracted to, and who is physically attracted to me. I don’t think that’s unreasonable. Obviously we need to have compatible personalities/interests beyond that but it is a big factor.

          You choose how big. Once you are mature or old, you realise how little it means

            You don’t choose that. It’s different for everybody.

            That’s like saying people choose whether or not to be gay or bi versus being straight.

            I’ve never been able to force myself to be romantically interested in some one I wasn’t attracted to. I’ve tried. I’m pretty sure I’ve been on the opposite side of that as well and it made for a shitty relationship.
