When love is at stake, men will say and do anything to impress. (And some woman too!). Somehow the true personality will emerge, normally to late. Learn beforehand as much as you can, by any means.
This observation is for both Rose and Handyman. In the smorgasbord of men there are many types of guys. Unattractive salad guys, boring meat and potato guys, and finally delicious junk food guys. Who wouldn't want a delicious piece of junk food? Problem is, a junk food guy like Iggy Pop can't service all the ladies so he focuses on only the most beautiful 5%, and quickly feels entitled to his promiscuity.
Many salad guys, and meat and potato guys are good men. But women still crave their junk food. Good way to get your heart broken.
Like men there are woman who act the same. For me, personally, I am not willing to lower my standards to have sex or to please anybody. I am also not fanatic about who I will date or be friends with after meeting them. But at the same time I must not be ashamed of what I did previously. Even junk food must be examined, a well made hamburger may be a better option than many frozen take-aways full of MSG's.
Otherwise I just think you are unnecessarily talking in metaphors. I don't really relate to the food metaphor with regard to men, because without food one would of course starve, but there are plenty of people who live quite happily without any sort of intimacy, or romantic entanglements.
For me personally I don't think that where you are attempting to take the topic, or even the topic itself is especially compelling.
With regard to OP's original topic I think that the best policy is to look for someone with whom one has not only shared interests, but a deep compatibility especially with regard to emotional, spiritual and intellectual matters. I don't think that the physical thing is everything, but I also think that if the physical attraction isn't there that it's simply not there. I'm not one for compromise, because I'm simply not that desperate.
Why do men seem to run when the honeymoon phase ends?

I think you're confused about Iggy Pop.
Otherwise I just think you are unnecessarily talking in metaphors. I don't really relate to the food metaphor with regard to men, because without food one would of course starve, but there are plenty of people who live quite happily without any sort of intimacy, or romantic entanglements.
