Q: What's the difference between the Never-Ending Story and my quest for a Revolutionary New Dating Paradigm (RNDP)?
A: The Never-Ending Story actually ended.
New Research Results relevant to daters:
"Dating culture is dead - instead, young New Zealand women are regularly getting drunk and cruising around in packs looking for men to have sex with. " [4D: This must be true because it was on TV.]
Fidelity is all about chemistry? "Males in some species of pair-bonding mammals have their lifelong attachment triggered by vasopressin release, and studies of men in monogamous relationships find a correlation between low vasopressin levels and high levels of marital strife." [4D: Only on the radio. Best to take this with a grain of salt-peter.]
New Resources for Daters:
Cosmopolitan's Experts say you can learn 55 things about a man in 10 minutes. The only hitch is that it will be a very busy 10 minutes. To learn the 55 things, along with observing his speaking patterns and hair style, you'll have to:
- Learn his favourite sports and TV shows;
- Find out how long he's been hanging with his friends,
- See what he does when it's time to pay,
- Find out if he drinks, smokes or gambles;
- Learn his online communication preferences;
- See how he behaves at a party;
- Observe his driving style;
- Determine when and how often he likes to have sex and what his pattern is on who initiates it;
- See what he orders in a restaurant;
- Learn whether he is tidy or messy;
- See his underwear; and
- Have sex with him several times.
