I will concede that you and I hold "different perspectives" on a number of issues, but I've found I agree with you and least as much as I disagree, and even when I disagree you make reasonable points, so I'm not sure how 'fundamental' those differences are.

That having been said, I think I agree with every point you present here. (The only possible exception being, perhaps, that bit about 'auditioning for a life partner,' but that is itself a concept I would need to unpack and examine before I could say with any certainty: arguably, I think I recently went on a dinner date, followed by a walk on a beach, with a girl I knew I only had friend-type interest in.)
