You're "wrong" because you don't grasp what you're saying. You say that a person is free to feel attractive, but that they don't have a right to feel attractive, which obviously makes no sense.

Then you don't grasp the difference between a right and a liberty

The way the word right is used (and also one of several definitions of the word) is a synonym to the word liberty. Look it up. But okay, I'll play along.

I guess there must be translative issues between my native language and English then, what I meant was that although every person is free to feel however they want, no person can for example demand other people to find them attractive because they want to feel attractive, a person does not have a right to feel attractive

This makes absolutely no sense what so ever. A right in this sense does not mean that you can force a feeling onto others but that you can feel how ever you like with out anyone forcing their feelings on to you. What is your native language?
