The title of this post is deceiving; it should more specifically be titled “A bunch of interesting links about online dating.” But I like to think of links as little cultivated adventures, transporting you to a magical internet world of fantasy and slash fiction. (NB: none of these links relate to slash fiction. It’s just funny.)
First, a fascinating study on response rates in online dating. It’s really long. My takeaway is that as someone who’s 5′8″, I have to earn extra money to attract hot chicks. You women are so shallow! Also, no fatties. (Full pdf link here)
Second, a comic about me. No, it’s *actually* about me, but it’s about my people. I’ve done some similar calculations before.
Third, Gawker’s new nominee for worst person in the world. I feel very embarrassed that he went to Penn. I’m proposing the school’s code of conduct be amended to include a new clause, henceforth to be known as the “Don’t be an asshat” clause. It would require all graduates to not be asshats. In the event that a graduate is deemed an asshat by 1,000 or more alumni, their degree would be retroactively revoked. I am confident Mr. Fitzgerald would qualify.
