Dear Readers,
It has recently come to my attention that there is not a universal grading system for Men on Dates. WHAT an atrocity!!! Everyone knows that great customer service relies upon honest and constructive feedback. In the culinary world, a restaurant doesn’t dare claim to be the best until a critic dines and writes up a summary of the experience. Somehow though, men think that they are allowed to circumvent this rite of passage.
In our tech savvy world, it would be EASY to implement a simple feedback form into modern dating sites. There would be several multiple choice questions about attractiveness, conversation skill, humor, sex appeal, and desire to please. A free response “comments” section for special anecdotes or particular highlights. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, a dichotomous “better or worse than expected” and a “would or would not go on this date again if given a do-over”. The multiple choice questions would be scored and then each man could be placed on a validated curve. You could see which percentile a particular man falls into! If we want to protect anonymity, simply wait to publish a man’s percentiles until he has at least 5 reviews, and make it so that only women are allowed to see the comments section.
See? My solution is simple. Less than 5 min to give someone the feedback that might ACTuALLy get them to pause and think about their overall performance.
I cannot claim credit entirely for this brilliant idea. The coven has greatly influenced my conviction that this is a NECESSITY. How else is a woman to know that her perfect twin, a man who worked in a children’s museum for God’s sake, was not going to be a good match in the sack? Next time, I pray that she’ll get to view his sexuality score BEFORE committing to spending the night.
Let me know what you think in the comments! If I can’t find a techy to code up this idea, I might just give out paper feedback forms at the end of each date. XOXO, gossip girl
