At least you eventually came to the right conclusion. There are still many a guy lamenting the fact that they are not objectified and never get any sexual attention.
Then you'll see some other guy reference a situation where he clearly missed the sexual attention he was very clearly getting.
It absolutely boggles the mind.
Lot of guys talking about feeling unseen and not getting attention. I don't get this either as I recall they got the vast majority of attention growing up, just not sexual attention.
