> Oh he flirted plenty, but everything had plausible deniability. He knew just the way to wrap men and women around his finger. Keep them coming back for more but never *truly* giving them what they wanted.

But amatonormative society has its way of digging in and making him question if something was wrong with him. If he was cursed. It certainly led to resentment for his friends who became preoccupied with women and children and starting a family.
