   The pilot targeting only government workers reminds me a lot of Lee Kuan Yew's various eugenics policies:

   It certainly doesn&#x27;t help that the app conveniently targets those between 21 to 35 years of age, which is just before advanced maternal age (also the age where single Singaporeans qualify for public housing).

         Have you really convinced yourself this is an actual standard of a significant proportion of women, even liberal women?

            For casual dating, I would say yes, and not just white liberal women.

            As a man who happens to meet those criteria, and has participated in a few hundred hookups over the last 10 years, I&#x27;d say a significant portion of the women either directly or indirectly try to discern answers to those questions before meeting or agreeing to casual sex.

               It sounds like you are an atypical man (even 100 lifetime partners is 99th percentile and you’re claiming more than that in the last 10 years) engaging with a minority subset of women (those who engage in casual hookups). I don’t know that I would make extrapolations from that to the general population of women. As for the guy I was responding to, I think there are far more obvious reasons why someone obsessed with this “666” idea and using acronyms like AWFUL to describe women can’t get a relationship or even a date.
