Fact: an Asari is capable of being sexually attracted to/involved with practically any sentient being in the known galaxy. Krogan, Volus, Quarian, Hanar, Elcor? I'm certain there are a few thousand little Asari babies who flirt like this:
Way I see it, that's being attracted to people you like, not being attracted to people like you.Fact: an Asari has a lifespan that stretches over several centuries. If you take one message away from a romantic relationship between a Human and Asari, it's that you (the human) are entirely replaceable. To them 50 years of marriage is like a long weekend.
But either way, the time is gone, and they chose to spend it with you, and when you're in your declining years, they'll be there to help you. I honestly couldn't imagine something more painful than watching a loved one die, and knowing that you will live with their loss for the next millenniaFact: they can invade your thoughts. Worse still, they do it during sexual activity. Meaning that hooking up with an Asari, ANY Asari for any amount of time means giving up the sum total of your secrets to her. And while in ME this kind of bonding took place mostly between willing partners (Shep/Liara), Morinth stands as a horrifically suitable counterpoint. And think about this, what about Asari rapists? I don't mean Ardat Yakshi, I just mean the mundane kind that sexually assault people to feel powerful. They'd need to exist somewhere, an Asari's basic psychology isn't that different from that of a human being. And an Asari rapist doesn't *just* violate your body, she violates your most intimate memories and dreams.
This is true about the connection, however, we don't know how deep that connection goes, or how it works. For all we know, attempting to force that on someone drives them into such a psychological turmoil that there is no connection possibleFact: they're trying to edge you out of the evolutionary race. So it's been pointed out that Asari can *mate* with literally anything that moves, but no matter what these couplings always produce 100% Asari children. Making matters worse, it's been pointed out that any member of any species (male or female) has the potential to fall for an Asari. And the cherry on the creepy milkshake? *They actively prefer to seek out partners from other species*. Meaning that not only does every mixed Asari couple grow the blue babe population, but it actively shrinks the population of every other species in the galaxy by depriving them of future children.
This is also true, however, we know why they seek out other races, because two Asaris can equal Ardat Yakshi, Human/Asari, Hanar/Asari, Turian/Asari, Volus/Asari, Elcor/Asari CANNOT have an A-Y as an offspring. Additionally, since the Asari have been involved in galactic civilization and haven't bred any civilizations into oblivion, and in fact, they seem to be content at their current growth rate (and no other races are complaining about being out-bred), I'm guessing that they don't often have children.
Additionally, I don't think there's anything against say...femShep and Liara getting together and then having a donor help Shep have a human baby.Fact: they're all biotic, and get stronger over time. Meaning every single one of them could potentially tear apart whatever room they're standing in with a singularity.
So can Jack, and pre-ME3 she has clear...impulse control problems. So?Speculation: the "human" faces aren't real. This all goes back to one line from ME2 in which a Salarian bachelor party discusses how all the different species present insist that Asari look exactly like their own species. Now this hasn't ever been confirmed or denied, but I suspect that even the *physical* aspect of people's attraction to these freaky things is involuntary. Given the whole freaking invasive nervous system bit, the weirdness that it is Ardat Yakshi-dom and the abundance of bizarre biotic powers? I'm perfectly willing to believe that they don't even remotely resemble the tentacle haired waifs I've been looking at for three games. That image is just what a human being (Shepard) sees when they look at an Asari.
Now THAT is a neat catch.
You also bring up some good points.
