Nightlife Chemistry

I'm not sure the number of lightning bolts is that simple...I redid all my couples' turn-ons to reflect their partner's actual attributes, and some still only have one or two bolts. I can't decide if I like this because it adds a little randomness (not every couple is perfectly suited for each other, even if all turn-ons and -offs are right) or if I don't like it because maybe something isn't working right.
Related question, does the number of lightning bolts get updated constantly or is it set and left? I guess it'd have to change, since things like stinkiness are (hopefully) not permanent states?

And it does update frequently.

What else comes into play, as far as chemistry is concerned? I have a married couple who I've now discovered have no chemistry between them. They each fit the other's turn on/turn off profile (since they were married before NL, I adjusted their turn ons and turn offs to work with each other), and their astrological signs are neutral as far as he's concerned, repellant as far as she is. If I ask either one to ask "do you like what you see?", the response is always "eh", even though she had the custom hair that he liked. He also likes underwear (I'd rather consider it "lingerie", but whatever...), so I put her in her undies. Still, "eh.".The male has "fatness" as a turn off, so I tried making his wife fat, just to see what effect it would have. As expected, when she asked if he liked what he saw, he had the crossed out fatness thought balloon and acted disgusted. Put her back to fit, and he was back to "eh.". He fulfills all her turn ons as well, yet she's still indifferent towards him. I can see why she would feel that way, when you look at astrological compatibility, but I would think his response towards her would be more positive. Does personality play a role, possibly? Or aspiration? He's romance, she's family. It's not her reaction so much that puzzles me. It's his. I guess the fact that he has 2 strikes against him by her standards (his astrological sign and aspiration) must affect how he reacts to her, as well.

That's the chart I refer to, which is why I have so many questions :P.

If you look at that chart, Romance and Family are a bad mix, and you say that astrologically, one of them is not compatible with the other. You may have a couple of strikes against you there and it will take more than turn ons/turn offs for the chemistry to be right. You could always try the new ReNuYu Senso Orb and change one of their aspirations to a better mix.
Ruann:
A bad aspiration and a bad astro sign = bad chemistry (repellant) regardless of other features. The fact they are married makes it Neuthral chemistry, since that's the lowest you can go and be "in love"
