The "love finds you" meme would match up to lots of things. It matches up to "I didn't use a dating service or website to find someone and found someone anyway" and "I didn't make any effort at all to date and eventually ran into someone". I think that an eligible, decent-looking young person will find someone eventually (especially as the dating pool decreases as they get older and remain in demand), but just because a strategy can barely scrape by doesn't mean you should ignore much better options that are available.

If you want to find the best person you can and want to date people sooner rather than 'eventually', then Jacobian's ideas sound like a much much better strategy.
