&#62; Well, you know, just as long as she doesn't have a mind of her own.<p>Zing!  Nicely said.<p>&#62; I honestly find discussion about dating on HN a bit disturbing.<p>Huh?  Why?  It's of interest to hackers, and I find it quite an interesting thread.<p>&#62; I mean, would you be comfortable with a girl that you wanted to date reading this post? Speculating on her "quality" as if she was a horse.<p>Yes, by all means, let's PRETEND that when it comes to software engineers there's such a thing as quality, and when it comes to cofounders there's such a thing as quality, and when it comes to friends there's such a thing as quality, but OH, NO, NO, there's no such thing as quality in women - because every single woman on the planet is equally perfect, and it would be SO politically incorrect to say that one woman is cuter, funnier, more intelligent, more loyal, sexier, or tolerant of weekly board game night.
