I'm reading The Last Psychiatrist's 'Don't hate her because she's successful' and having trouble with:
'No, she just means when you get married, to pick someone who supports your goals." In other words, a business relationship? Arranged marriage, only this time by Match.com's algorithm? "No, a marriage based not on passion but on mutual respect and shared values--" Stop, listen to what you are saying. Why would you want a man who agreed to this? Why would a man want a woman who thought like this?'
I mean, why would I not want a man who agreed to this? It seems so obvious.
Edit - I am speaking as a woman of low lust levels (I think - at least some of my friends seem to have higher lll), so I don't value 'passion' highly (either that, or I misread 'passion' and it includes something of what I would classify as 'shared values' - it is also possible.)
Why? Genuine question because no, it is not obvious to me.
