Why Bertrand Russell slept alone

I will only date those date all those and only those who do not meet their own dating criteria. Can I date someone who shares this trait?

Mmmm. That's not what he said.

Dating those who don't meet their own dating criteria isn't the same as dating those who don't meet your own dating criteria.

If a small thin plain smart woman wants to date a large thick stunning dense man, she does not meet her criteria, but can find people who do meet her criteria.

If the "person who said this quote" happened to be large, thick, stunning, dense, and male, he could date the small thin plain smart woman, as she does not meet her own dating criteria, which means she meets the "person who said this quote's" dating criteria, and he meets her criteria.

Great. He changed the statement again. When I answered this, he finished with "Can I date someone identical to myself."
