'''Romance''' is a kind of male [[courtship]] display and pair bonding behavior that consists in the [[political correctness|politically correct]] and sophisticated [[beauty#Beautiful_behavior|art]] of concealing the mundane transactional, [[eugenics|eugenicist]] and [[dominance hierarchy|competitive]] nature of human sexual [[relationship]]s. As a courtship behavior, romance has the biological purpose of displaying the quality of the man's genes and acts as a [[costly signal]] of his ability and willingness to his [[hypergamy|invest resources]] in the woman, future offspring, and society at-large.


[[Women]], on the other hand, are completely aromantic and [[Sex drive#Female_passivity|passive]]. The closest female counterpart is their promise of sexual exclusivity<ref>https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2017-53145-010</ref> which is driven by men's desire for [[paternity assurance|assured paternity]] and a fear of the female that she will be abandoned and starve, having been incapable of survival on their own in the ancestral human environment.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_were_historically_predominantly_involved_in_cooking_and_they_never_dominated_men</ref>
'''Romantic idealization''' refers a naive conception of the significance of "true love", spiritual kinship, individual choice, [[beauty|aesthetics]] etc. for relationship satisfaction, motivating men's [[courtship]] and pair-bonding behavior. It typically involves [[History of female sex-favoritism|putting the woman on a pedestal]] and concealing the mundane transactional, materialistic, [[eugenics|eugenicist]] and [[dominance hierarchy|competitive]] nature of human sexual [[relationship]]s, which, in modern context, may even act as [[virtue signaling|political signaling]]. Like most other courtship behavior, romancing has the biological purpose of displaying the quality of the man's genes and acts as a [[costly signal]] of his ability and willingness to his [[hypergamy|invest resources]] in the woman and future offspring.
[[Women]], on the other hand, even though they enjoy being courted and anticipate falling in love more than men, are completely aromantic and [[Sex drive#Female_passivity|passive]].


Ninety percent of the time one can correctly predict "love on first sight" plainly based on [[beauty|physical attractiveness]],<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Love_at_first_sight_can_be_predicted_by_physical_attractiveness</ref> suggesting there is nothing magical about such romantic moments, but mere genetic or aesthetic judgement.

Furthermore, [[arranged marriage]]s do not differ from "love marriages" in terms of relationship satisfaction, and they actually last longer. Partners an arranged marriages get used to each other over time, and presumably addicted to each other by endorphins released during [[sex]]. In one study, romantic idealization was no predictor of relationship satisfaction.<ref>https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.4324/9781410610249-14/first-sexual-involvement-romantic-relationships-empirical-investigation-communicative-framing-romantic-beliefs-attachment-orientation-passion-turning-point-sandra-metts</ref>


That there is no such thing as a "soulmate" is evidenced by the fact that in [[arranged marriage|arranged couples]] report a marriage satisfaction just as high as other couples, and actually last longer. Such partners get used to each other over time, and presumably addicted to each other by endorphins released during [[sex]]. Romantic idealization is also no predictor of relationship satisfaction.<ref>https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.4324/9781410610249-14/first-sexual-involvement-romantic-relationships-empirical-investigation-communicative-framing-romantic-beliefs-attachment-orientation-passion-turning-point-sandra-metts</ref>
