1. Desire and lust do not equate to 'rapey.'

2. That said, I agree, outside of an invite, keep that gaze tempered or even cloaked.

3. Objectified? Maybe for some gazers and 'gazees', but not all. A person can admire someone for numerous reasons, it does not equate to objectification.

4. Of course you are "more than my youth and body and beauty." Agreed, and who said otherwise?

5. "if you can’t see beyond that or if no one taught you to see beyond that then I have no respect for such a man." Agreed.
