To call experiences experienced by only one or a few groups is definitely not what I would call "highly factual", unless you specifically state it as "fact in only your case". It's incredibly ridiculous to call it such when it's only taken from a sample of only ONE school.
And in a sense, yes, I can't know what they think, but once again you shouldn't lump them into one entire group either because I doubt all women think the same way as one another, like how I know that I don't think the same way as other men. However, to say it's impossible that one particular male can think a SIMILAR way as one particular female is also ignorant, otherwise I doubt any romantic and long-lasting high school (and perhaps beyond) relationships could exist, which of course they have.
Finally, basing the concept of love on scientific examination of other species is not entirely helpful, because as human beings we are gifted with the traits of intelligence and individuality. We could derive a few things from it, sure, but we can never use them to say "OKAY SO IN THESE PARTICULAR SPECIES WOMEN ARE ATTRACTED TO ALPHAMALES THUS ALL OF OUR WOMEN ARE TOO". You can say "some", even "most", but never "all". We still have differences, and as you can see EVEN IN THIS THREAD, not all women are looking for assholes as a partner; not all women are looking for nice people as partners either; some women don't like people who have to work a majority of the day; some women like their personal space. It's completely variable, even in a high school setting (though admittedly yes the amount of ignorance in such a place is clearly higher), and you just have to meet the person you can sense a true connection with. Like how I did.
That is all.
