I feel this is relevant to the debate because it speaks of attraction between mates. This is something which is important in evolution. Well, actually, I just want to know if I'm smoking crack, but here is my theory. But I'm sure you can make it fit with the debate some how.
My understanding is that there are many different forms of love. There are even sub-catagories of romantic love. I have a theory reguarding one type of romantic love. In my theory, physical attraction does not initiate it, but rather some other mysterious event that occures during the interaction between two people. Now both of them do not have to fall in love. One can.
This love lasts for a long time, because it is not built upon the foundation of physical attraction. When love is fueled by appearance alone, the fuel is quickly burned up, and the person falls out of love. The reason being that there are too vast a number of people who are attractive physically, and any person can move from one to the next.
But when the person falls in love with someone who is physically attractive, the effect of the attraction last for an excessivly long time, if not forever, because the love itself is already present. However, when the loved one is old and no longer attractive, the love remains. This is not to say that the same kind of love which was present from the begining is still there in the end. A transition can occur in which a burning passion can be replaced by a more true and sincere love of a caring and protective form.
Now tell me what you think of my theory? Am I smoking crack or what? I can't help it if I am wrong. It is just my approximation based on things that have happened to me and things I have observed others go through.

It has been two days and whether or not this post is to be accepted is yet to be decided. I do not mean to make a scene but when I complained about it one time, they don't me not to unless the post was not decided upon for two days. Now it is two days, and this post has not been decided upon.

Love and Evolution
Sorry for the delay Guido. I started an answer earlier, but my computer thought otherwise.

It isn't our job to make it fit. It is your job to present a topic opener that fits.
I don't feel that you have shown that your theory deals with evolution, plus the comment: Well, actually, I just want to know if I'm smoking crack; is not a good way to initiate a serious discussion.
I am not inclined to promote this topic as written.

Re: Love and Evolution
Not as written.
Your theory as you have presented it is inconsistent.
You haven't provided any background or evidence for your theory.
