    It’s not just being attracted, it’s being attracted conditional on the person having x characteristic

    Wait

    So literally every single heterosexual or homosexual person is a “chaser”??

      Potentially yes, they can exhibit similar patterns. In fact lots of cishet women have also complained about being objectified because their (potential) dating partner is attracted not to the whole package but to a specific part of them- it’s a classic feminist talking point. The “chaser” label gets added when the person being objectified is marked as deviant in some way. But it’s def not just cishet men who are capable of it.
