Her question, by itself, also illustrates the extent to which women hold men to a completely different set of expectations than the expectations to which they hold women. And this is not limited to a sexual/romantic level--on literally any and every interpersonal level.

I would love to talk with you more about this. I agree that the standards are quite different in many aspects. I also understand why that happens in my cases. If you’d ever want to guest-write your experience on this to help provide perspective to the cisgender population, I’m happy to share it.
It's fascinating that this is the second time I have heard the term "limerance" in two days, in very different contexts... And I had never heard the term before!
