Why is chemistry more attractive than using a checklist?

If you're using a checklist, you're basically incompetent at social interaction. There are too many gray areas and nuanced aspects of personalities to allow a checklist a viable tool. Sometimes you have to be able to think on the fly and have the decisiveness to make judgement calls in the moment. Sorry but, real life is hard.

I would think because having chemistry would come naturally. It means you would feel the excitement of forming a bond with someone.

Checking off a list seems mechanical. It isn't bad to have maybe a mental list of things to look for in a person, but you have to be realistic about it and realize you won't ever be able to check everything off.
