There's also an interesting bit in this chapter where how strong the love potion works depends on the attractiveness of the girl (obviously Ginny wouldn't need any at all ;) so they're apparently specifically designed with women as their target audience in mind (in order to trap their men, of course!) - I wonder what would happen if a boy tried it?... Naturally the attractiveness of the male is not an issue, whereas whether the women dates is dependent of how pretty she is. So basically men wouldn't need them because the girls in the WW have lower standards, or something. Really, though, who'd get turned down? Crabbe and Goyle for comedy value can't get dates, but there's always someone even uglier/more annoying than Slytherin guys - like Slytherin girls.
