- DaniFong 18y agoI'm sure there are, for me, as for everyone, many people out there, however the issue is really just mending the psychological damage caused by impatiently sampling dating sites. Bad idea. I also think that many men in tech or science tend to think like-minded women are, in the abstract, attractive, but when it comes down to it, it's just not the sort of thing they're looking for while dating. After a while, helping people discover this loses its novelty.
- dgabriel 18y agoIt may be more than that. When you are an extraordinary person, your dating pool is necessarily more limited than it is for the merely ordinary person. I think this is true regardless of gender or sexual orientation. In Boston, we have this term "The H Bomb," which is the moment one tells a prospective partner that one has gone to, or is currently attending, Harvard. You try to put it off until the second or third date, unless the person you're dating also has Ivy League credentials. Just that word can end things before they've started.
- DaniFong 18y agoI know exactly what you mean. Usually, when people ask where I went to school, I say 'a small college in New Jersey'.
- Retric 18y agoI tend to like logical / intelligent women but dating is more about clicking with someone than an abstract list of interests and attributes. IMO dating sites do little more than get a large group of single people to talk to each other. Which can work but you need to use them to meet people and not try and find your perfect match with what amounts to email. PS: Granted I am probably not the best person to take dating advice from as I seem to only date the crazy.
