The article had good points (although I'm not sure on topic for HN) however using phrases like "predefined standards of excellence" in regards to people/dating sort of makes it sound like the last time you left your mom's basement was a couple months ago. Since the article writer is into psychology he might also like to research "psychopathology".

It's a bit creepy to intimidate others into suboptimal life strategies by stigmatizing their attempts at self-improvement.
- narag 16y agoThe irony here is that the guy is criticizing how others fail to value external conventions while he can't see how he fails to do so in his writing.
