Male to female

Are you specifying that direction of love, or are you simply referring to heterosexual love in general? If the former, why not the other way around (female-to-male)? If the latter, why not include other orientations?

The former; I was being precise. I don't think the reverse direction is true. My beliefs in both directions come from a combination of my understanding of evolutionary psychology plus anecdotal observations of myself and others. I can elaborate but I'll also ask why others don't believe this.

Also I should add this obviously isn't true for all males. I'm just trying to model the average case.

Do you have a guess as to how much love in the reverse direction is physical attraction?

15%

Also I should add this obviously isn't true for any males.

I think you meant to type many.
