[Miss Koryo]

After a long sabbatical from men, I'm trying to get back into the dating scene. I was perusing Craigslist personals and came across the below post. This is just another sad example of how difficult it is for a woman to date in San Francisco.

Greetings to all and sundry,

Perhaps a minimum set of descriptors would say that I am 5'10", with brown hair and blue eyes with a propensity to subtly change color with my attire. Yet I confess I'm afraid such a quotidian list fails to capture my sheer ebullience, my vitality, my gestalt.

Though much of my livelihood revolves around computers, this is indeed my debut craigslist query, the output of input from friends. I am currently pursuing a higher degree at an esteemed University in the city. But fear not, I do not merely strengthen my mind at the expense of my body; every Wednesday at 4pm I hoist very heavy chairs above my head to ensure my development as a well-balanced individual.

I used to think I'd prefer someone with whom I'm not just similar, but *highly* similar -- ie, an Eros coefficient of greater than 0.85. But after much soul-searching, I've lowered my threshold recently. Not only do I feel it's justified, but I hope it may actually be informative. Otherwise, we are all really just islands unto ourselves, adrift in a stochastic sea of loneliness; only by branching out can we truly determine the minimum distance that connects us all. After all, the lower our expectations, the more significant our connections.

Unfortunately I'm a little busy until December 12, but maybe after that, we can meet up for tea.

Bonus points if you're a robot.
