If you don't enjoy the company of members-of-your-preferred-sex, what do you want a relationship for (that you couldn't also get from one-night stands or even prostitutes), anyway?
(Possibility of having children in the future?)
Someone could e.g. enjoy the company, but be so desperate for a relationship with intimacy that any non-intimate interaction with potentially interesting people would be a painful reminder of what they were missing out on. (By "intimacy", I don't mean just sex, but also things like trust and a permission to be open with your feelings, hold hands, kiss in a way that mainly denotes affection rather than desire, etc.)
I see.
I assumed you meant e.g. men who like to act misogynistically when among other men and find it effortful to not do so around women.
