We're talking gripes here. In the world of gripes, it falls under Predation, assuming the sociobiological theory of Dawkins et al., that males' money and power encourage females to breed A.A. Breeding and good sex don't correlate. Breeding is essentially a business deal. E.Y. more than any romantic considerations. A.A. Romance as the opposite of fucking is usually a turn on to women who are not motivated by money. E.Y. Further in the world of gripes, if one succumbs to Gravity and loafs to the point of obesity, even casual encounters are made difficult. A.A. Casual encounters are the Search for Good Sex. Casual encounters are Predation. Good Sex withstands Gravity in any form. E.Y. For one in the throes of gripes, contentment is a fantasy ideal--postulating a world where Predation doesn't influence romance and giving in to Gravity doesn't soon yield atrophy. A.A. Contentment is a fantasy only if we accept Predation as reality instead of what it is, which is crap. Once we shut the door to Predation, we come home to ourselves by accepting our Gravity, which includes our obesity, and we achieve contentment. Ideally our partner would be content with our obesity as well, and Good Sex happens.
