According to Wolfe, “The choice to include both work and education is to add a bit more context to who each person is. It is almost a sure bet that one of the first questions you will have for a potential match will be, ‘What do you do?’ and ‘Where did you go to school?’. The answers to these two questions add so much depth to understanding if you would be a good match with someone.”
Was that a serious comment?
Sorry that's quite off-topic but that really threw me when I was reading the article.

Saw this on buzzfeed. It's a dating app where women have to make the first move.

A lot of women DO make the first move on internet dating sites....And occasionally IRL.
What I can't understand is not why women don't make the first move usually(offline that is), but why they only flirt with guys who they're *not* interested in dating or when they're dating/married to someone else as opposed to using flirting as a way to get a guy they like to notice them.

Yes! But I notice when men do that. The single ones smile and mumble hello, but the unavailable ones flirt and talk away to you. I guess there's no pressure when you know you're not actually available and it's easier to talk to someone you find attractive because it doesn't matter if they reject you as you still have someone to go home to.

Yeah I thought that was weird too. It's not that deep especially in the current economy where you just take the job available to you so you can pay the rent, surely that's not just me. And they say American's are not as obsessed with class as the British, um, yeah pull the other one.

However, most guys usually make it quite obvious when they're single and interested in you whereas most women really DON'T.
