I know what your saying, but unless I misinterpreted, the author was lamenting how most of his 150 first dates were a waste of his time.

so that's where he has to decide.

150 dates with potentially little bite, or maybe 10 (or less?) dates where his worries are almost guaranteed not to be an issue. Of course zero first dates is not good either.

Given his interest in experimenting like this, I'd be curious to see if he did a follow up using the above strategy.

Ah good point. My expectation is that (unfortunately) he would probably get 0 dates. The online dating world is MUCH too competitive, to the point of absurdity.

It's tinder, it's easy.

As you can see in his article, just ask her on a date and get her number. It takes about 3 messages.
