[Dungeons and Dragons] What is it that elves find so attractive about humans?

Half-elves are surely the most common crossbreed across the entire game series. I can see what humans find attractive in people who are famously beautiful, with blemish-free skin, fine features, and a cultural love of music and other simple joys, and who will stay unchanged throughout a human's lifetime. 

But what do elves see in people who are cruder, hairier, more unpredictable, and have a cultural love of short-sighted decisions, societal chaos and infighting, and who age at a rate that is surely downright unnerving to an elf? It's also just accepted that humans are much more likely to be evil and cruel than regular elves.

So what's the appeal?

Firstly, out of all the various races that fill a common world, in this case we can just go with Faerun, humans are the most common, period. An elf is just more likely to run into a human than any other race at all. Pure statistics would say that makes more half elves should a pair decide to get down and dirty.

The rest of this is just hypothetical generalities. Who knows what makes two people fall in love? Maybe a human is making one of the elves laugh. Maybe both are just captivated by the others beauty. Trying to tie this into a racial thing of 'elves as a species find humans as a species attractive' is just kind of questionable.

However, just in terms of traits as a culture that elves respect about humans, it would definitely be their drive. Elves get that humans die relatively quickly compared to them. However, humans have an ambition and drive to do a lot in that time. An elf might spend 60 years making a perfect painting by himself. In that same time, a human with the will could forge an empire, or could carve out a statue that will last long past his own life. There's something special about seeing a firework burn fast and loud isn't there?

Or maybe humans just got that gorilla grip coochie, who knows.
