i'm agonizing about how to tweet it. the datingnews.com people have been incredibly nice to me and asked me a bunch of great questions and i answered them and they turned it into this heartfelt article and... i'm just struggling with how ridiculous that title sounds and don't know how to promote the article with a straight face.
i guess i can just say the article is "surprisingly good"? does that sound snarky? i don't want to snark at them! they're really nice!
(also it's absolutely true that if you're in the market for a life partner, beeminder could make an especially huge difference to the whole rest of your life)
RPERCE: just what you said: "the folks at datingnews.com asked me a bunch of great questions and turned my answers into this really good heartfelt article!"
ha, great point. intro idea:
It's funny how often advice seeking takes the form, "Oh man, I don't know how to convey XYZ," and the person you're asking replies, "How about literally 'XYZ'?" And you're like, "Huh. Yeah, wow, I am a genius, thanks!"

pretty huge discrepancy between how good this article is and how good you'd predict it would be: https://www.datingnews.com/apps-and-sites/beeminder-helps-singles-achieve-goals/

this reminds me of @aliceofbattenberg's post, https://forum.beeminder.com/t/dating-with-beeminder-a-journal/10066
