This is interesting. Could you expand on this? Also, are you male or female?ihatesnakes said:

The discussion centers on the qualities people seek in romantic partners, drawing comparisons to previous threads about preferences. Key points include the importance of various factors such as culture, interests, sense of humor, and political views. Participants emphasize the significance of intelligence, kindness, and attraction, noting that while physical appearance is often the first impression, deeper qualities like character and emotional connection are more crucial for lasting relationships. The conversation also touches on the relevance of family relationships, spontaneity, and the ability to engage in enjoyable activities together. Some participants express skepticism about criteria like ethnicity and location, suggesting that personal character is more important. Overall, the dialogue reflects a blend of practical considerations and emotional insights in the search for meaningful connections.

When you think about it, it is pretty simple - if you take out more than you put in, eventually it'll fail unless the other party can and will just put in endlessly, which is pretty uncommon. And you can "bank" relationship points in case you need to withdraw extras later.

Possibly. It depends on what love is. If it is a type of energy, then clearly it's subject to the law of conservation of energy. But there's more than one type of energy and there is no law stating that any individual type of energy has to be conserved.
For example, when Jack goes tumbling down the hill and Jill comes tumbling after, clearly their potential energy has been converted to kinetic energy. But, eventually, they do stop tumbling and their kinetic energy has to have been converted into some other type of energy. Who's to say that at least some of their kinetic energy was converted to the energy of love, increasing their passion for one another.
Or, perhaps, love is a lepton. You also have to have conservation of leptons. So, if love is a lepton, what you say could be true ... except you also have different types of leptons and only the total number of leptons needs to be conserved.
What you say is only definitely true if love is a conserved property unto itself, but then you still run into the problem that there's also different types of love and only the total amount of love needs to be conserved - not each individual type of love.

So true, and our ladies say to grab the nerd before he realizes how hot he is - then you'll have a keeper for sure.

I say all of the above.
