    It makes sense because you can’t be gay in isolation. So if you basically calculate weighted sum of all the people you find attractive or dated with their vectors and normalize it you can get the results from there in this system. Would be better representation than you estimating it yourself

      But what counts as attractive and how somebody else views themselves isn’t the same as how you view them

      Help that make sense to me. How could you not be gay in isolation? Are you talking currently irritated, or always isolated? Would that same logic say you can’t be straight in isolation?

        Yes, you can’t be straight in isolation too. Straight vs gay is about who you find attractive, without anyone else then it’s just you. Mathematically it makes sense. In reality we use information from pst encounters, people around us, media and such to get the sample of what you find attractive. Maybe we can say we could analyze the brain and body and biochemistry to determine it in isolation, but normally it’s based on how you feel about other humans
