This guy hacked OK cupid, by hacked I mean hacked. With an army of bots and custom algorithms. And yes he found someone great after 88 dates.

He's genius, handsome and tall , yet he needed to do hacking and 88 dates to find a girlfriend :-/ - with the possibility that it may not last like any relationship

good post! I'm curious how this would work with guys. It seems girls can be more picky so as guys should we be less picky if we come up with an algorithm or not?

I just do not believe boo is in Beirut. In relationships trust is key, can you help us on this boo?

That TED Talks video is awesome!
Actually, that's exactly what I did, except for the finding someone part... and I'm male and not successful.... so not so good...
I'm not so picky...

Knowing that someone intelligent did the same thing gives me the courage and confidence to keep doing what I'm doing.
Except finding a girl who would score me at even 100 points is going to be tricky...

That was good. If this was Facebook, I'd click "Like."

I think boo has figured it out, failure is the key to success!
