You stated that a person cannot adversely affect the way another person feels (or that it is a trivial matter to overcome it), thereby removing responsibility from how people act toward each other. That you think it's laughable only demonstrates sociopathic tendencies.
Not everyone has the time to spend on things that are ultimately useless. The only reason you had that high of a success rate was because you didn't have an actual investment of time and energy, and you had no tangible ends. That's why psychopaths have such an easy time manipulating the people...
When I'm attracted to someone, I'm attracted to all of that person. An ugly inside spoils the rest. Most of my girlfriends have not been physically attractive, so I feel like with all of the hell I've been through I should hope for someone that's attractive through and through.
