That whistling sound as it flies over your head.

Chris Abraham started an extended discussion of Stephanie’s job searching and dating analogy… and completely, utterly missed her point.

Look, embittered DC singles: The comparison is not that dating is about more money, more prestige, better status, because it shouldn’t be. The comparison is that you take a short period of time to make the best impression you can, and that all parties are evaluating each other to decide if the other is really what’s best for them at that point in their life.

Plus, you know, it was a joke. But some people aren’t into those.

    Where is the passion? Why is everybody so careful with all that evaluation. I don’t think I missed the point at all :grin:
