A common misconception (and not just among men) that LOVE has to be proven, or validated. (and it not only has to do with "fuglies" so we're just gonna ignore that) . . . but to say "some women are worth it" demonstrates that a "value" was placed on someone and it is demonstrated, validated, proven in kind, whatever you want to call it . . . by buying something . . . preferably something expensive. LOVE has nothing to do with that kind of validation, and in the strictest and most pure sense (and granted, none of us live in a reality that deals with only the most pure sense of things), anything demonstration of love in that manner denigrates it.

I disagree. The term "worth it" doesn't necessarily have anything to do with validation or buying something. In a relationship, sometimes a person is worth comprimising your values. Sometimes it's dealing with the drama, hurt, and/or emotional baggage that comes with the other person. That love is worth all that pain and hardship. It's not always necessarily that specific person, but the concept of love that's "worth it." It depends on your definition of "it."
