“There’s actually an Ayn Rand dating site. They elected not to take the low road (as I would have done) and name it “The Fountainhead,” but went with the more restrained “The Atlasphere.” Profiles include blurbs like: “You should contact me if you are a skinny woman. If your words are a meaningful progression of concepts rather than a series of vocalizations induced by your spinal cord for the purpose of complementing my tone of voice,” and “I am rational, integrated, and effacious. So far, I’ve never met a person who lives up to the standard I hold for myself.” These profiles would be contemptible if they weren’t kind of sad, like this guy’s: “People see me as a socially inept loner because I tend to avoid superficial conversation but actually I love talking to people who like to think (the problem being I don’t know very many).”
