Rationalist dating:
“I know this might be a weird analogy, but relationships are like LessWrong”
“Should I date Jaan Tallinn? I’m not attracted to him at all, but it seems high-EV.”
“You’re so cute I just want to invest all my resources in you!”
“I know we should go to sleep, but have you considered hyperbolic discounting?”
“Now that you’ve witnessed my inability to apply instrumental rationality to the problem of going to sleep on time you have to break up with me”
“I don’t have to take care of myself because in twenty years we won’t even have human bodies anymore!”
“Wait don’t go, you’re instrumentally useful to me!”
