So there I was sitting at my computer browsing reddit when I found a personal ad in graph form. It occurred to me that maybe the cookie theory isn’t the best idea, for a start I rarely venture out of the house. I should forget trying to be “normal” (which is another word for boring) and start approaching the problem with a bigger dose of logic than I had previously.

So I made a graph. I have however not simply copied the idea that inspired this post, I have made two big changes. Firstly the stuff on the left is all stuff that reflects me in a good light, the stuff on the right is not so good, things that maybe you might hesitate to share about yourself. The second change is that I’ve left the right hand side of “her” side blank.

As you’ve probably guessed this is more an exercise in logic and reasoning than an actual attempt to woo the woman of my dreams. It does I hope raise an interesting question, we can pick our own achievements and to a certain extent limit our flaws, but we can never really get rid of our flaws or we stop being who we are. Thus when looking for someone, should we focus on what they chose to be or what they are but wish they were not? Should we focus on what we like or what we don’t?
