I'd aim to reduce your rate of new dates over time by changing your criteria for whether to go or not. There is likely a mismatch between them and whatever your true preferences are. Obvious to focus on the specificity, but my hunch is that sensitivity is the key. Worth considering also that the pool of potential mates (spanning 3 cities) is vastly greater than almost anyone else at any time in history had access to, which also suggests that selection criteria are the important factor here.

Similarly, I'd also aim for quality over quantity in sources of advice. At a certain point, more advice will just dilute the concentration of good advice.
- actfrench 4y agoThank you so much for the data-driven advice! A lot of the other advice has been not so data-driven :) I guess soliciting Hacker News for advice falls in quantity over quality. Some of the advice has been outstanding, but other stuff has fallen more on the demoralizing side of things.
