if there's only one raiser, sometimes I don't mind calling because people often raise with strong aces, so if I hit two pair I can win a pot, and if I miss a nice flop and my opponent plays strong, I can just fold.
Your logic here is horrible. You never want to be putting money in preflop with what is a dominated hand. Your chances of winning are severely reduced. Look at these numbers:

Ad 6d  463878  27.09   1180601  68.95     67825   3.96     0.291
compared to A non Ace High hand:

You are 12% more likely to win with the 7high. If people raise with strong aces your chances of winning are crushed. And you only hit 2 pair 1 out of ever 50 times you call his raise. That is a huge leak.
