Respectfully, your argument doesn't hold water because it doesn't look like you understand what being/falling in love is. Sexual attraction is 70%-90% visual appearances and mostly biological, but falling in love is not about sexual urges, it's about happiness. We fall in love with the person that brings happiness and joy to our life by merely spending time together, not necessarily the one we want to ram our genitals into.
Most people pursue partners based on sexual urges, sure. But falling in love is a whole other game, and they don't go hand in hand.

- cousin_it 9y agoMany people do have a need to be loved, you can't argue it away.
- fizixer 9y agoMost people have plenty of issues growing up, like low self-esteem, need for validation, etc. A combination of training, therapy, meditation, sense-of-purpose, etc can work wonders.
- upvotinglurker 9y agoNo one said anything about "needing." A person can have happiness and joy in their life while single, yet find another person who adds even more happiness and joy.
- gehwartzen 9y agoExactly. I love my sister, mother, a few of my best male friends, and my wife. Love doesn't equate wanting to have sex with someone. Most humans happen to enjoy sex so given the proposition of commiting to a single person sexual attraction (hence visual attraction) becomes an important factor.
