What if turn ons and turn offs were a part of likes and dislikes?

I was just thinking of an easier way that maybe the game developers could add turn ons and turn offs. And that would be to just have a section for it under likes and dislikes, like they do with colors and activities and music etc.
I’m really hoping for more likes and dislikes because after creating sims with those I do notice I believe they create impact of their character. So couldn’t they just add an attraction genre to the list of likes and dislikes. It may look something like this with the happy face and frown face button as options.

Blonde hair Y/N
Bald Y/N
Dark hair Y/N
Red hair Y/N
Make up Y/N
Blue eyes Y/N
Red Eyes Y/N
Green Eyes Y/N
Brown Eyes Y/N
Walk styles feminine Y/N
Walk styles swagger Y/N
Walk styles Tough Y/N
Voice pitch: high Y/N
Voice Pitch low to middle Y/N
Fashion styles on other sims Y/N
Certain traits another sim has. Y/N
Fitness level: Fit: Y/N
Fitness level: out of shape: Y/N

If these answers are No then sims will be repulsed by the very idea of flirting with a sim with the ones you click No on.
If these are Yes then these sims will gravitate more towards other sims that possess these, and their physical attraction will be effected and they will gain a crush quicker than usual. Of course this would have to also play into the sexual orientation aspect. I don’t want it to take over the sexual orientation added to the game and I don’t think others do either. For example if I create a female sim and make her only like Men. Even if I have a turn on of hers be a feminine walk that doesn’t mean she will be attracted to other females. It only means she has the hots for a male that has a feminine walk. It shouldn’t replace what gender their attracted too. It should just enhance their attraction to the Gender they are attracted too and if that’s both then cool. If I make a male sim who is straight who likes blondes then when he sees male blondes he shouldn’t be crushing or flirting with them, because their male. If I set his orientation to straight then he should only find female blondes attractive.
If this was added it would have to be cohesive with the sexual orientation I believe. It really would only be attraction preferences of physical attraction. However I also think it would be cool if you could make sims like a dislike certain traits so if sims run into another sim with a trait they like or don’t like it would either make it easier to get along with or have a friendship with or the sim would automatically not like a sim because of their given trait or it would make it harder for them to get along.

Just an idea. Even if the developers decide not to create turn on and turn offs or call it that. To add more to the likes and dislikes I think would really add more depth and gameplay. Given I think the little that is there, has already. I played recently after about 4 months and was surprised of how big of a difference it seemed to make when I created sims using likes and dislikes. I think it would be a really smart idea to keep updating that and working on that system, along with improving the wants and fears, I think that could really make the game.
I also think it would be best if IDLE chat didn’t happen so often. Especially if sims don’t get along or are enemies.

    Absolutely they "could" add it because a modder has already done that and it's almost exactly as you described (well I don't think walk style was in it, but facial hair was one of them).

    I don't see them adding it though, but it's for sure a feature I'd use often.
