Even if it's a flaming homosexual (using the term to be descriptive, not offensive), it's still flattering.
Does intent come into play when you're coming to your judgment about being stupid or presumptuous?

Well, very well, are you suggesting I be flattered by some stranger wanting to fuck me doggy-style?
I think gender inequality definitely plays a role in it.
I'm about to go make dinner, but it has just occurred to me that I just am not flattered by a man wanting to have sex with me because of the way I look. I don't find that flattering. It doesn't impress me with myself.
