IAWYC. What Diego should have said is:

Society generally disapproves of uncommon ideas, such as wanting immortality. This disapproval increases when someone who believes such an idea ties it to their identity, for example by adovcating it in a documentary. Moreover, people tend to strongly oppose cryonics for their romantic partners, for reasons not entirely explained yet. The people I am romantically interested in (a subset of women from my culture) do not particularly diverge from the social average in this area. Therefore, I would likely hurt my romantic prospects with them should I take on the role of "the loon on TV who wants to be frozen".
