But you haven't said that to the author, who spoke in absolutes about women...

If Patrick and Larry offer that, eventually they would find someone interested. But if a specific women is not interested, then they aren't offering that to her. Sorry to disappoint, but passion requires two. And so do stability. If a woman doesn't feel that for either Patrick or Larry, then it isn't there as much as they would like it to be.

Maybe they can find it with another. finding someone compatible is not easy for women either. But presuring someone in a relationship they don't really feel usually ends badly. Either with resentment, cheating or worse. Because Patrick and Larry would notice that she is not attracted/happy. They would notice the lack of passion on her part. And it is going to be frustrating for them. They'll do better looking for someone who reciprocicates.
