Sexual rejection requires no justification or explanation whatsoever. To posit otherwise is a form of coercion that approaches the mindset of a rapist. It is totalitarian to police people's sexual desires or shame their dating preferences.

This is the right answer. These people have no boundaries. I always like what Queen Elizabeth is rumored to have said about the religious controversies of her time: "I have no wish to make windows into men's souls."

You should never even get into these arguments. All you should say is, "I like what I like, and it's none of your business."

Sage advice. My sole caveat (if any) would be adding the optional: "I also dislike what I disike, and THAT'S none of your business, either."

(Oh, and that quote from Queen Bess-- along with the sentiment behind it-- is a longtime fave of mine as well!)
