I just realized that all of these Date an X who Y are because of this thing from thought catalog from two years ago

― resulting paste of mashed cheez poops (silby), Saturday, 18 May 2013 01:02 (thirteen years ago)
back when Thought Catalog was relevant for about five minutes
this was apparently blogged "in response" and from there I guess it became a sappy Facebook meme

hm that second link is clearly copypasta, I see attributions to someone named "Rosemarie Urquico" in lots of places but never a link back

evidence that "Date A Girl Who Reads" dates to shortly after the TC piece's publication http://www.tinamats.com/2011/datea-girl-who-reads/
blog investigation on the copypasta: http://themonicabird.com/post/3582061419/rosemarie-urquico-has-been-found
― resulting paste of mashed cheez poops (silby), Saturday, 18 May 2013 01:07 (thirteen years ago)
anyway the point is somehow all of these memes are way way worse than the original Thought Catalog slam-poetry-level emotional wankery, which is mindboggling

Date a girl...who has had a library card since she was twelve.

I started riding the city bus alone downtown to go to the library and use my library card when I was 9. Before that I rode the bus with my mom to go to the downtown library.

the person who posted this is my former co-worker who left to write a book and homeschool her kids and live in a forest or something
pretty sure successful people tend to have a big ass tv.

Rohn's book Five Major Pieces to the Life Puzzle, published in 1991,[2] was built around what he considered the five components of success:Philosophy - how you thinkAttitude - how you feelAction - what you doResults - measure often to see if you are making progressLifestyle - the kind of life you can make for yourself out of the first four pieces

Rohn's five components of success cannot be distinguished from the five components of failure.
