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?

It was really only in flux for about 3 minutes, just apparently the wrong 3. I was trying to clarify ambiguous language which I had framed with certain original assumptions built in, e.g. "dates only X" meant "will date any within X and no others", as an implicit IFF.

I really hadn't initially been as logically rigorous as possible, because I thought the informal statement would be sufficiently reminiscent of Russell's. Ah, well.
