Look, you take what you can get, eh? ;-) Never underestimate the immense power of people's instinctive desire to somehow unite with their unmanifested side (the other gender), and thereby complete themselves.

They could do the same thing by going within (themselves), but they generally don't realize that. My guess is that "Eve" would have found "Adam" pretty interesting, regardless of whether he was smelly or not....and vice versa. But what if Errol Flynn had stopped by? Then she'd have dropped "Adam" like a hot potatoe, and we'd have a different Bible story altogether.
