I just found this in the latest El Goonish Shive webcomic update http://i.imgur.com/tkZsaNd.png This character has been summing up my views on dating pretty well lately.

As heuristics go, this one has stood the test of time. Then again, one could certainly argue that it assumes some correlates that are no longer true.

That said, if you're getting life advice from webcomics (or even just being reminded of your own life), perhaps it is time to put serious effort into getting out more.

Especially if you read Something Positive. :)

Haha, I hardly take life advice from anybody, much less webcomics :) I have no idea what to do when I "go out" but I've been working on entertaining larger circles of friends. It's easier for me to treat people like individuals instead of generic strangers.

On the other hand, sometimes a webcomic character says something I've been thinking better than I could.

Not Something Positive :)
