The Syllogism of Attraction

The dance of the two sexes,
Two poles in balance,
Does not take a rocket scientist
To figure out;
Men get the most attractive women 
They can afford 
While women get the richest men 
They can attract…
Does it matter 
If they ever really understand each other?
Apparently not.

I'm not sure it's cynicism, as much as resigned acceptance. But really I'm all for the difference - what can I do about it anyway?!
