This prompts a whole discussion about whether something is ___ist just because it's not part of your psychological makeup. Is it ageist to prefer particularly old or young partners. Is it racist to prefer (say) Asian partners. Is it sexist to prefer a particular gender.

Of course it's not, because that would make the whole idea of finding someone attractive "ugly-ist", but there will always be someone to turn it into a politically correct stance. I'm not one of them, so don't go wolf whistling men on my account

Is that likely? When was the last time you wolf-whistled a woman and she came across and said "Hello, gorgeous"?
