I actually agree with you here. I guess the reason why we keep "fishing for sex" anyway is that if we don't then there is none forthcoming. Now I do realize (thanks to the recent discussions here for reminding me), that there are things the HD can do to make a compliment more likely without directly fishing for it, but it sure isn't the obvious path, and I know I was totally blind to it before coming here. It is way to easy to be lazy about it and revert to fishing rather than doing the hard work to make yourself more attractive.
That said, I think the making more attractive will only go so far for a give pair of personalities.
