=Preferences=== 

 Regarding Nash and sexuality, there is a biography page on the St. Andrews University domain, not sure whose, or if credible. It read like it was quite dated, written maybe 20 (30?) years ago, or transcribed from something older. It is rather unkind to John Nash, in my opinion. Apparently, he was quite tall and handsome, and he intimidated people without intending to, because of his height and broad shoulders. The St. Andrews U. page describes Nash during his time at CMU or maybe Princeton. It said that he was shy, but liked to climb into bed "with the other boys". Remember, these were his peers chronologically and academically. None were "boys"; all were adult men, 18 -22 years old, well beyond the age of consent!  

 Anyway, the biography criticizes Nash for liking to sleep with, as in "adjacent to" some of his dorm mates, while at the same time ridiculing him for being passive. I recall that that particular word, "passive" was used, with negative connotations. Apparently Nash didn't want to do more than kiss or maybe be snuggly, sleep in the same bed. The St. Andrews website narrative seemed unnecessarily cruel: On the one hand being critical of Nash because he may have had homosexual inclinations, yet simultaneously, saying that he was wimpy, as despite his height and strength, that he wasn't forcefully, aggressively sexual with his male roommates!  

 ===Relationships=== 
 The St. Andrews web page continues. It describes his relationship with a woman, prior to meeting his wife, during or shortly after the time he finished his PhD studies.  I think the first girlfriend actually walked in on Nash and his future wife, while having sex at his home. So Nash was not a cold, aloof person prior to his mental illness. He may have been eccentric, but it didn't interfere with going on dates, watching movies, and living with other people. Nash had at least two long-term relationships. I don't think he is necessarily emotionally blunted now, either. I've seen Nash's photographs while traveling for work, from 2003 - 2010. They are quite good! Also, he and his wife seem quite fond of each other, in photos. At math and economics meetings, he often does the photography, and his colleagues are usually smiling.   

 None of this belongs in the article though, unless there is a better source that the one I found. It may not belong in the article regardless, as both Nash and his wife are alive, and this IS a BLP. I wrote this mostly because it seems that Nash's biographical page was more about that motion picture than about Nash himself. Some of it reads like "the movie version" versus "the book version", except the latter wasn't a book, but reality. These talk page comments were written in 2007, but I'll leave this in case anyone comes along subsequently. If my paragraphs are considered superfluous here, on Nash's BLP article talk page, please accept my apologies, and feel free to delete.  

 * Disclaimer: Remember that St. Andrews University merely hosted the website which contained the content I mentioned. It wasn't a psychiatric profile, and I don't know if Nash even so much as visited St. Andrews, even once.
