Women use the same terminology about men.

And please .....We've already debunked the "Your attitude about women is why they're not attracted to you" myth.

It's not complicated. Never have I seen a couple that is together for reasons I can't decipher.

OK, so women are not attracted to you because your are unattractive and don't make sufficient income...not just your bad attitude, but that plays a part as well.

Look, I'm a religious guy and I'm pretty sure you are an atheist. So I'm going to talk to you in terms you understand i.e. evolution. As it turns out you are unfit for sexual selection and to further your genealogy one more generation by mating would only further pollute the gene pool. The positive side is that without sexual selection from unfit men like yourself society is made better as more and more fit men are being selected. So take comfort in the fact that humanity is better off with you not mating and be proud of yourself for contributing to the evolutionary process.

I'll believe that when I see it! Your "logic" sux, man! It has nothing to do with reality. But that's not going to stop you from shouting it to the world, so, have fun making an azz out of yourself. It's your life, your rep.

(Premise 3.) Whatever else is required for romantic love, is easy to come by once mutual physical attraction is present. Of course things like personality are important, but both men and women are lenient in judging those things once the physical spark has been lit.

(Premise 4.) Presence of romantic love is of utmost importance in human happiness. In fact, people who have a good love life but have a job that they hate, rate themselves as happier overall than people who love their job but have no love life.

Therefore, physically attractive people have an easier time finding love and have happier lives overall.
1)Your premise assumes that physical attraction is the same in all eyes. It most certainly is not.
2)"Whatever else is required for romantic love, is easy to come by once mutual physical attraction is present." That is complete bunk.
3) Your premise also seems to assume that physical attraction is something that is not dynamic...it's either there, or it never will be. That is absolutely false.

Some men need a nudge, a little encouragement, katykat. If you wait for them to make the first move, you may be waiting the rest of your life. Don't let life pass you by, get out there and be an active participant! If you meet a dude who seems interesting, talk him up. If he's shy, find reasons to be around him, find an excuse to make him dinner or something. I've seen it done. Think outside the box, and you can win.

With that kind of enviroment - having a relationship is an extension of that...not a superficial attempt at fulfiling some kind of predetermined opinion of gratifying ones ego by how attractive their partner is.
Know what I mean?
No?
If you were the last person on earth, would you spend your life pining away for an attractive partner? Or would you be overjoyed to just share your last remaining days with someone that you were just glad was there, that you enjoyed being with?

gorgeous. We should all be so lucky to reach this goal, but so few do. And since day one we have been conditioned not to.
