"I'm going to marry the first person who agrees to go out with me." "What??" -- "I'm going to join the first company that gives me a job offer." "Huh? Why??" -- "I'm going to spend ten years working with the first VC to give me a term sheet." "Smart! That's my goal, too."https://twitter.com/semil/status/1163130205868740608 …
the problem is that the scenario is usually more like “i’ve never had a date in my life and a hot, brilliant rocket scientist from a great family just proposed to me but i have to decide by tomorrow otherwise i might never find love again and oh they might be a sociopath”
