You don't enjoy company of most members-of-your-preferred-sex, but are hopeful that there are people out there that you could spend your life with. The problem is that finding them is painful, because you have to spend time with people whose company you won't enjoy during the search.
By hacking yourself to enjoy their company you make the search actually pleasant. Though hopefully your final criteria does not change.
You seem to be assuming a model where one can only meet a potential mate selected at random from the population, and one'd need to spend a lot of time with her before being allowed to rule her out.
Hm, somewhat, yes. What do you believe?
I mean it's not purely at random, of course, but surely you need to go out and meet a lot of people.
Well, not necessarily. ;-)
