Notes -
Tyler Cowen linked Katja Grace’s “date me” doc on MarginalRevolution. Seems like an odd thing to post on an economics blog. I see three possible explanations:
This is just quokkas being quokkas. There is no subtext. Everything in the links can be taken at face value because it was written by aggressively honest and straightforward people.
Tyler is being an asshole and posting her info without permission. This seems the most unlikely to me. That would be a real dick move, but Tyler’s preemptive, “not interested in comments mocking Katja, put them somewhere else, I will delete them,” seems almost insulting, like he thinks she will definitely be mocked despite being a reasonably nice and attractive woman.
Katja specifically asked Tyler to post it. Seems the most likely from an, “all of these people know each other” perspective, but I’m curious what she gains from this. I can’t imagine the MarginalRevolution readership will do anything but water-down her dating pool. Maybe women really do love attention that much?
Thoughts? What do you guys think happened here?
He knows her so presumably he had her permission.
