Dating in the west almost feels like an interview these days, at least in the Bay Area. “So where do you see yourself in 5-10 years”? What’s next, you going to ask me to invert a binary tree?

Everyone needs to make sure you are beyond gainfully employed so they can live some semblance of a normal life if you both decide to stick around the bay.

I want to believe it's satire, but then there's Poe's Law...

This somehow seems true, sadly

You are probably dating serial daters. Some people just love dating for the sake of dating. There is no job offer coming in these situations. They are setting up the next date interview as soon as they get home from yours.

It is an interview for a position that doesn't actually exist.

I mean, making a woman truly happy will be more challenging than inverting binary trees anyway.

I used to think my goal was making a woman truly happy but now my goal is making myself truly happy and it would be nice if a woman who is trying to make herself truly happy were along for the ride.

Spoiler alert: Good relationships involve both parties contributing 100%.

Too tiring to demand that. Fifty percent is fine.

Speaking as someone married fifty years.

Thinking you can make another person happy is a grave mistake.

Hasn’t it always been? When my mom came back from my cousin’s wedding, the first three things she said were: the wife is a civil engineer, she’s pretty, and she’s Muslim (like our whole family) but not fundamentalist. Right to the point.

Only in cities that are full of vanity and thus the induced anxiety? Before coming to the US, I thought a good thing about the US was that people to compare their status with other people (maybe secretly, or so I read), as everyone has their own definition of happiness. Those who are so obsessed with where they are go into the movies like American Psycho, in particular the role played by Christian Bale. Many areas are still like what I thought, but places like the Bay Area seem have changed a lot.

That's hilarious. But to be fair, if you are looking partners who want kids in the Bay Area, you better know how to invert a binary tree to land that FANNG job. :)
