Anyone see Yudkowsky's OK Cupid profile on the marginal revolution blog?

It's hilarious, in a good way.

It is amazing. Green with envy!
Revenge of the nerds, right there (the smartest ones and the ones with passion, anyway - and the ones in Silicon Valley, anyway).
- Thanks for sharing -

Yeah it is much better than I expected (if I can say that without insulting Eliezer).

In various places, very funny, extremely candid, and quite thorough.

Puts my profile to shame. 

"My poly card is full now, but email if you're still interested" is a good line.  I should try that some time.  First I need a harem.

I love this quote:
"Don't decide on other people's behalf that they'll say no to you. Just decide whether you'd say yes yourself. Test experimentally what happens when you try asking directly for what you want - that's empiricism." 

Quoting Eliezer feels a bit groupyish but it's a great quote.
