      on wanting a beautiful wife: "Let's not fight it. Let's assume that the fairy tale was true that made the heroine lovely. Let's say you have a perfect right to a beautiful wife. But to make sure of no mistake you had best learn to be a connoisseur of beauty."

      "I am convinced that your love for beauty when rightly directed may become as efficient an aid to you in making a romantic choice as it ever was in the practical selection of a healthy wife."

      Now I'm totally lost. How is that a reaction to what I said? My point, restated: she's saying the measure of a pizza is how many pounds per lightyear. It seems incoherent / missing the point / using the wrong metric.

          makes more sense in context she isn't very succinct but I think the thing she's orbiting around is that sexual attraction, while very innate and understandable, is largely a distraction from sincere intimacy

          I haven't finished the section but I *think* she's saying most men shouldn't bother with a religiously celibate lifestyle unless they have a goal that attraction would distract them from and she doesn't think there is value in celibate religious orgs in the modern world
