How much value do you place on getting female / male attention, compared to the other aspects of your life? Attention as in romantic/sexual attention.

Think about how much value you place on friendship, family, your health, certain hobbies and passions of yours. Then compare that to how much value you place on female/male attention. What do you say to that? In other words, how valuable is (fe)male attention to you?

I've heard some describe opposite-sex attention as "completely worthless and i don't want it at all", and some others say that it's one of the greatest things on earth for them.

Looking forward to hear your responses, mostly from single people. If you're not single then I'd like you to answer based on back when you were single.
