What I thought was so interesting about this article is that like in all matters of love, people don't actually know what they want.

So they say that they want, these are some of the buzzwords they use, faith, traditional and family oriented love.

That's kind of the new taking care of herself.

You know how men for a long time said that they wanted a woman who took care of herself and that was code for skinny?

Well, now they want someone who is family-oriented, which is code for does not want to work outside the home.

And they ask for these women, and then the matchmakers, because they're getting paid a lot of money, deliver those women to these men, and then they realize they're not compatible.

Because the men have spent their whole lives at work pushing paper around, talking about numbers, and then they meet with women who are explicitly not interested in those things, and then they have nothing to talk about.

There is a great quote in there.

Here's the problem, though.

The women also have feelings in this.

And they are not interested in these tech bros.

There's a great quote in it where one of the matchmakers says that she kept trying to set this guy up with the traditional family-oriented women.

And the traditional family-oriented women kept being like, I don't like this guy.

He's boorish.

He's aggressive.

I don't like his table manners.

She said, it's like you need to get your manners together or we need to set you up with the type of woman who is not going to care that you're slurping pork belly juice.

Because can't you just see that?

Like the tech bros slurping cork bellies.

It's interesting that Melinda French right now is doing a lot of interviews.
