Because more dating advice was what I really needed ...

A friend of mine emailed me a link to this video, which we both, at first glance, found somewhat disheartening.

(watch it first)

I mean, come on.  Is this what successful dating requires?  I only put in that kind of work for research papers.  

On further reflection, though, my takeaway is this: be picky.  Now be even pickier.  Know what you want and don't be afraid to ask for it, and believe that what you want is worth both wanting and asking for.  Warm and fuzzy enough?

Now all I need is the time to revamp my profile ... sigh.
