>They’re looking for someone to fulfill a porno fantasy, not a partner.

That seems pretty obvious considering one want is a subset of the other. If I’m physically attracted to you but not in other ways, I can still want to have sex with you. That’s a single box to be ticked, whereas “potential partner” is the title of the entire checklist. Surely this is a ubiquitous phenomenon that applies to mainstream beauties as well. In fact, you’ll hear them complain about it, too, as described in TFA.

Having part of your identity/physical existence fetishized is suuuuper different from just being wanted.
