Clever people are different than rationalists. Here we not only fancy ourselves to be clever, but rationalists. Thus, this advice to be rational about dating is less relevant here than to other groups of “clever” people.
I missed “skippable” because I was already impatient and skimming :) I don’t wait for an invitation to skip, because time is scarce.
I know you did ;) I liked your comment. But do notice, this is not a post about being rational (allthough it constantly references the sequences and the pinned material). I updated the intro now thanks to your excellent feedback!
Oh and I should’ve said- I very much agree that the world needs more common-sense, basic advice because what’s basic and common sense isn’t totally obvious to everyone if they haven’t thought about it quite that way. So I very much support your project, including posting on LessWrong as well as other spots for clever, interested daters.
