Rather than responding in detail, I suggest analyzing the strategy, which is to break things down into details addressed in isolation in order to reach a bizarre conclusion. Attraction is holistic. It's about the whole picture.

It reminds me of a very bright friend of mine who's somewhere on the Aspergers/autism spectrum as he tries to understand other people's emotions and motivations. He comes up with these interpretations that sound completely logical to him, but that are completely wrong. As a result, his social existence is always fraught with trouble.

That's part of what's so creepy to me about TRA "logic." They're constantly insisting that we look at all the elements that go into attraction in strangely disconnected, disjointed ways. The whole strategy speaks to me more about their own distorted perceptions of self and other than it does about any kind of special insight they supposedly have.
