this paragraph was particularly interesting:

 

What about those search algorithms? When researchers analyzed characteristics of couples who?d met on OkCupid, they discovered that one-third had matching answers on three surprisingly important questions: ?Do you like horror movies?? ?Have you ever traveled around another country alone?? and ?Wouldn?t it be fun to chuck it all and go live on a sailboat?? OkCupid believes that answers to these questions may have some predictive value, presumably because they touch on deep, personal issues that matter to people more than they realize.

I actually liked the questions on OKCupid. Some of them were things I hadn't given much thought to. (Well, I'd been in a relationship for 25 years, I guess I hadn't had to.)

 

My sister and her husband sail.  She said to be careful of men who live aboard their sailboats, as live-aboards tend to be scoundrels.  Fantasizing about it and doing it are two different things, though.
