Well, that is your opinion. I find your opinion naive.

I don't state that men only go for looks but in our current narcissistic society, both men and women tend to go for the superficial. That is unfortunately our social milieu.

And I make it very clear why one should date non-attractive people - to look deeper at a person in a one-on-one fashion. I make it clear - it's not about sex, it's about getting to know a person as a human being.

I make it clear - it's not about necessarily having a long term relationship. It's about ONE date. Maybe two if the people like each other. Maybe a friendship will develop. But the point is not to get the other person into bed - the point is to spend a couple of hours learning about someone you might otherwise never get to know. It's to realize that even someone who may not be physically attractive has worthwhile traits and something to add.

Honestly, you don't have to agree with me. I don't really care. I'm putting myself out there, which makes me vulnerable and open to critique, and that's OK. Your opinions are also valid and it's not a problem for me that we disagree.
