Well, I tend to say 'a curse on both houses' to all such binary opposites as blue pill/ red pill [blue pill = overly socialized/ domesticated... red pill = overly naturalized/ physicalist]. They smack of ideology which always looks to simplify things. The reality is you have to apply your own practical and spontaneous judgement to the matter at hand.
Along the 'all things in moderation' route, and looking for a middle ground between the two extremes - I'd agree with you that the connection has to be sexually charged from the get-go. However, personally, I prefer to hold that charge for a bit, to see if the tension builds or fizzles... obviously, I have in mind here the quality of the connection as opposed to maximizing the quantity of 'connections'. I simply can not by bothered chasing dizzy girls.. it would make me... dizzy.
There is an ideality in all of this that is often lacking in the more 'realist' conversations. But this other aspect is crucial, as all the frustrated comments on this forum continue to testify to.
