Since Valentine's Day just passed, I loved reading Wray Herbert's blog titled "Likes Long Walks in the Woods on Autumn Days." The post talks about the validity of online dating. Can math and science really be used to find us life partners? "Five psychological scientists at five universities spent a year distilling and analyzing more than 400 scientific studies related to dating and romance and marriage, to determine what traits are measurable and valuable in successful matchmaking. " Romantic right? Not so much. If two people have similar character traits or life goals, this doesn't guarantee lifelong happiness. Two people must act with each other in a successful way in order to have any sustainable relationship. Love is something that we will never be able to find a definition for, regardless of how hard we try.
