So, first, your assertion that it was "complete BS" (despite you, in another post, providing anecdotal data for the rape fantasy claim--with which there is nothing wrong, let me be clear) and "100% stupid" is exactly what I mean by closemindedness.

As for your questions, those are all excellent points, even if only a handful of easy references into popular culture or literature would be enough to answer them. I particularly like your observation about "well, they want a lot of banging first, then later want to raise kids": that suggests perhaps a temporal or maturity aspect to the whole thing.

The "want to adopt", "gays", "asexuals", etc. are all, bluntly, not representative of the popular as a whole nor worth considering from the timescale of thousands of years if we are going after an evolutionary explanation for this, which is the ultimate direction of the proposed sort of theories of human courtship.

It's not as off-topic as you assert because the paper suggests a three-strategy approach that loosely maps onto the theory put forth above. It's not a clean mapping, and there are a lot of valid criticisms with it, but it's not totally unrelated either.
