Th Ladder Theory arguement says that all men are inherently attracted to women, the real question is whether it's to a degree that it will matter.
Except gay men, asexual men, and men who aren't physically attracted to all women, sure!

Well, even asexual men can be attracted to women, romantically, assuming they are hetero/bi/panromantic

...You don't understand what 'Asexual' means in this context, do you?

I'm unsure of the qualifications necessary for such a profession, but I do believe you need some experience in art, so those grades of course matter.

Yeah, you need to go to college to be a tattoo artist.

Generally speaking, people who are labelled "asexual" are also aromantic. Sort of like how 99% of atheists are actually agnostic atheists. They're just not that into you, or anyone else, for that matter.

Huh. I didn't know that. I always thought that "asexual" refers to the whole spectrum of romantic orientations, not preferring a single one over others even slightly.

You're thinking of Pansexual. And it's not a lack of preference as much as a complete disregard of.

I'd argue that most are a. absolute atheists for a benevolent god, and b. flat earth atheists for anything else.

And the caveat. If a man does not want to have sex with you, or rather, would not have sex with you if you asked him and told him there would be no repercussions or expected relationship or ANYTHING, he therefore a) does not find you atracttive, or more accurately attractive compared with others, or b) is gay. Technically, the latter is a set of the former, since a gay men does not think a woman is sexually attractive to him compared with a male.

So yes.

What's a flat-earth atheist?

Look again. "romantic orientations" What I meant was that I consider asexual to mean a person who isn't interested in sex, but can be romantically attracted to whatever. As in: Asexual means heteroromantic, homoromantic, biromantic, aromantic, panromantic and any other -romantic asexuals equally, so long as they don't give a fuck about sex. Keep in mind, I am heteroromantic asexual. I think I know what asexual means.

Not always Darvi, though TV Tropes is sometimes confused on its own subjects. Hence why I always think linking TVtropes is lazy.
