What if we never meet anyone with the right wiring? Eek. Nice post. As it's the first time I've been here (yours is one of the nicest LOOKING blogs I've come across by the way - you were recommended by Simone at Sex, Lies and Dating) I'll inform you that I write a dating disasters blog - check it out if you get a minute.

This is supposedly true even for girls (i.e., that they seek out guys who remind them physically of their mothers). So maybe I ended up single because I didn't look enough like any guy's mother? :) Actually, I think attraction is hard to predict because it's the convergence of all kinds of factors--genetic predisposition, early family experiences, early childhood experiences outside the home, the influence of the media, all kinds of stuff. But I totally agree that the bottom line is that attraction is beyond our control!
