....Hmm. I can see it. Maybe you're just insane.
But here's the post:

problem with how society treats finding love like shopping for a new car. Dating services: Are the people who sign up for these in order to meet the man/woman of their dreams hopelessly desperate and pathetic or do they have the right idea?
I find it sickening that men and women create profiles in such ways that make them sound like a salesperson selling themselves, but I understand why some average people sign up for these like single parents who have no time to go out and find someone. Nevertheless, advice such as this is terrible and treats the human being as nothing more than an object:
“Think like a successful salesman.
What does Sales have to do with Dating? Everything, your selling the one product you know inside and out - yourself. Whether it's dating for romance or dating for sex you have to sell yourself! But if it's any consolation, everyone else has to do the same thing.
Every salesman knows that they will have to talk to many potential customers before making a sale. Every Salesman also knows that their odds go up considerably when they're talking to people who are interested in their product.
That's where dating services come in, they boil down to lists of prospective customers. That's not to say that if you package your product attractively enough you won't get customers to come to you. But, for the most part it's up to you to work that list of prospective customers.”
