Surely you've read in the evo-psych stuff that across cultures both women
and men consider the following when looking for a mate:

#1] kindness
#2] intelligence

and then there is a split

#3] men want "physical attractiveness"
#3] women want power/resources and a willingness to share it

"physical attractiveness" is farther down the list for women. The real
question is: is there someone you are attracted (ie who is kind enough and
intelligent enough) to enough to motivate you to extend yourself to
her--even at the risk of being rejected? When there is, you will.
