I understand. I would have found it less mindkilling if he’d said “women are less interesting to me” or “I find women less interesting than men.” [Edit: re-read—he does actually sort of say this.]
Mind you, not that there are any such persons out there…
Perhaps it should be, normatively speaking, but I’ve interacted with enough people who behave as though “to normal/admirable people” was the interpretation they meant that my priors are pretty high for that interpretation.

I think sarcasm’s unnecessary here!
“Interesting” isn’t defined without a frame of reference, so the “to me” interpretation should be the default.
