personally, I wouldn't like to see those traits in the game.  I feel the traits options are already cluttered by "traits" that could be attributed to other stats.  Things like gay, misandrist, misogynist, and to a lesser degree ugly, annoying voice, creepy breathing, beautiful, etc. - they affect very little other than occasionally having some effect on pawn interaction.  It would make more sense, in my opinion, to work in a social system that takes romance factors and social modifiers into account, and would even allow a variable sliding amount of each trait.

Maybe the pawn is +0.6 attracted to women, +0.1 attracted to men, socially likes and respects women -0.3, socially likes and respects men +0.75, and has 1.25 empathy....so that pawn would be more likely to try to woo women, but still rarely try men, would tend to insult women, while having positive interactions with men (might make that pawn's romantic intentions a bit awkward...) and events relating to social (such as prisoner was killed, got rejected, my opinion of my lover, was insulted, etc.) would have a 1.25x modifier on mood.

IMO, this suggestion goes in the opposite direction of what I'd personally like to see in the game, adding more social clutter to the trait possibilities, when I believe they'd be better as a separate system.
