You can't imagine the negative reaction I get, particularly from other women, when I tell them that choosing a mate is a decision that should be made on a practical basis as well as an emotional one. And the emotional one isn't primary.

I agree. I think that's the reason we have so many dissatisfied couples: there wasn't much attention given to practical matters. Indeed, the practical matters are very important and when ignored, lead to problems.

I'm with you there. I also get some nasty looks and get accused of being too 'picky' but when I'm trying to pick who I'm going to spend the rest of my life with, I think some pickiness is in order.
