I think that's a key point. When I wrote the original GURPS Steampunk, I said that Lecherousness didn't mean you had to make an obvious pass that would cause scandal and create instant social penalties; what you had to do was become focused on pursuing the target of your admiration—for example, you might strive to be alone with them so you could declare your interest. Being strongly motivated does not necessarily make you an idiot.
