every time a human being does not get offspring because his/her desired mate gets snagged by a more appealing specimen that's evolution in progress

No, that would be natural selection. The two are different, keep in mind.

Fair enough, they're different concepts, but very closely related, and I fail to see how evolution could work without natural selection.
