on dating and knowing what you want
There was a Slashdot article about the science of online dating. The article itself is rather boring, but one comment in particular struck me:
My opinion at my current age of 50 is that if a man is younger than 30 and has never lived with anyone for any length of time, he has no idea what he wants in a partner.
I can't imagine this situation would be any different for me - it will take some time to figure out the type of women I'd like to spend my life with. This seems like it'd be rather troublesome a few years down the line if I start dating ... I'll just be in the exploratory phase of finding out what I want, while the women I'd probably be dating are looking to settle down.
Future Roy, sucks to be you.
Future Roy, I hope you like sausages.

On Friday, MindTouch took the whole company go-karting. We went through qualifiers and everything - I got shafted on the qualifying run and ended up doing the "slow group" position race ... but I won that group rather handily. (Finished about 10 seconds ahead with an average lap time of 29 seconds)
Booyah!

That being said, I always have mixed feelings about a lengthy cohabitation prior to marriage or a civil union. Whatever the state of such things are right now, there is something to be said about having the force of a long term commitment that can make people compromise a bit more and learn to play nicely together versus a regular cohabitation where people can bail out with much lower consequences...

If you live at least a year with a girl, you will come to understand and cherish the benefits of bachelorhood. This is what marriage is for, to prevent you from taking action once you grasped the reality of things.
