"insufferable uptight maths lady wonders why her humorless profile gets not decent dates".
oh ffs
let's all hold hands & bite down on the cyanide capsule
raaagh @ this bullshit: • Women with curly hair are at a distinct disadvantage online. I have no idea whether men prefer blondes, but I can say definitively that most men prefer women with healthy, long, straight hair. If you have curls and feel comfortable (and look good) straightening your hair, give that a try.

um speaking as a man, I go nuts for curly hair. but it isn't as if that's my 'type' either, straight hair can be awesome too.

queue marimba music. montage begins w/ amy sitting at home office computer. close up of dating website on screen. close up of amy mouse clicks. close up of amy concentrating hard. some windows moving around on computer screen. daylight in background window turns to nighttime. bar plots in excel. more concentration face. crumpled up piece of paper flies into trash bin. "Height:" *types 5'3"* frustration face. *backspace,backspace* *types 2"* renewed determination face. more mouse clicks. marimbas stop. amy noticeably tired face. clicks 'upload.' upload bar fills up and amy collapses into bed as scene fades out.
scene fade in. it's morning, and amy's computer has transformed into a real boy.

think this is kind of a tongue-in-cheek thing, considering it's written by a curly-haired CEO with a book deal.

like obvs I haven't and never will read the book but this seems less like a misogynistic facebook macro and more like someone fucking around with dating sites. Plus the thing was probably adapted from the book by a subeditor at wsj and not the author herself.
