Wow, it's pretty pathetic how people think of a good hero and person to be a lusty, handsome young man, with overly active sex drive, flowing hair, and a bunch of nice cars. The Master Chief goes through so much in his mind, I meen, the guy had NO childhood, NO happiness basicly, and NO parents, because they replaced him in the family with some clone. How would you feel if that happend, and oh, you have to save the world now because all your only friends have died horribly, and you have all this pressure on you. He deals with ALL this -blam!-, and still performs perfectly and like a true warrior in combat, yes he does have augmentations and a badass suit, but that just adds to the sorrow in his life. Even if he were to get a women, things would be difficult with all those augmentations, and he wouldn't have much sex appeal. That Master Chief has A LOT of character, he lives a life of bloodshed, but no tears, because he's man enough to deal with all of the crap. He's sort of like a gladiator, or an actual Spatan, taken away from his family, and forced to fight and not live a normal life, and doesn't get that much recognition. All in all, he is one of the best characters I have come across, and is the least stereotypical hero I have had the pleasure to play as.
Standing Ovation! Seriously!
Although the whole thing about him getting a girl is far out there, it is not impossible because some appeal is based on pheromones and the fact that the Spartan augmentations have that sort of side effects that could happen (not 100% likely)... but I think as a warrior he just doesn't care.
I would like to see the man, who has known nothing but suffering and death, try to put his gun down and live a life without war. Captain Keyes had said that if there was no war to fight, no one won or lost.
