Mr. PZ Myers and his friends at scienceblogs claim that Darwin Dating has no scientific merit. While technically they might be right, their thoughts makes for some interesting reading:
“What’s really ironic is that Charles Darwin was brilliant, held deep friendships throughout his life, was a caring and devoted husband and doting father, and he was rich, yet a site that claims to have an algorithm for finding excellent mates admits that it would reject him.”
Damn straight, he was so ugly he married his cousin!
“don’t knock this ‘Darwin Dating’ site; it’s self-selecting, and it keeps some really shallow people where they belong… in the shallow end of the gene pool”
Haha, don’t really have a comeback to that other than our members are HOT!
“Sites like this make me wish I was a hacker.”
Haha, I guess we’re glad you’re not!
“Any dating site that isn’t intended for singles living in the area in and around Darwin, Australia (or any other state/country) shouldn’t call itself this unless they want to be ridiculed. Apparently for them, intelligence isn’t a trait worth selecting for…”
Err, it doesn’t appear to be a trait your parents thought was worth selecting for either, Darwin = Charles Darwin. I thought science geeks were smart?
“Ironically, infertility doesn’t merit a banning from the site. So it doesn’t seem they follow through on their lame reasoning. “
Do you want to collect the sperm samples so we can check each applicant?
