I decided to learn from and apply okcupid and related insights and had some minor success but there are confounders and it is still not on first position in my priorities list (which obviously is a serious impediment).
Does anyone know who curates the "Latest on rationality blogs" toolbar? What are the requirements to be included?
I suggest adding "customizable blogroll" to a suitable comment on the recent http://lesswrong.com/r/discussion/lw/n9b/upcoming_lw_changes/
There's a lot of data and research on what makes people successful at online dating, but I don't know anyone who actually tried to wholeheartedly apply this to themselves. I decided to be that person: I implemented lessons from data, economics, game theory and of course rationality in my profile and strategy and OkCupid. Shockingly, it worked! I got a lot of great dates, learned a ton and found the love of my life. I didn't expect dating to be my "rationalist win", but it happened.
Here's the first part of the story, I hope you'll find some useful tips and maybe a dollop of inspiration among all the silly jokes.
P.S.
