Okay, thanks for the clarification.
While I would personally want to date someone else who is fairly rational, it is not clear that every rationalist should have this preference. In particular, it seems likely that most people don't know what they actually want out of a relationship until they've been in several. This seems likely to be the case even for people who think that they do know what they want out of a relationship.
(Possibly interesting anecdote: I am in the awkward situation of simultaneously believing the above paragraph and believing that I know what I want out of a relationship without having been in several.)
I disagree. Your rationality is my business. Aumann's Agreement Theorem is also interesting to consider in this context.
But that being said, my point was about the inconsistency of his behaviour. Luke wrote a piece posted on a blog dedicated to improving human rationality. He could have kept his revelations to himself, but he didn't, presumably because he wants other people to learn too. And he should. I think that's great. That's why I'm here. But then proceeded to show complete disregard for other people's rationality. His behaviour in his relationships seems to me to be inconsistent with his participation in this community.
