E-Harmony

Thank you M&M for our lovely conversation yesterday wherein I was told that the only way I was going to get married was if I joined EHarmony.com. This is similar to all of your previous logic, that because you have heard of one couple meeting in a specific way, all couples meet in this specific way.



Why I am well aware that I failed the LSATs, I am also aware that there are several problems with this logic. So here is what I am going to do for you M&M. I am going to set up your proposition against a set of analogical propositions to see if perhaps you can see the error in your thought processes. If you can not, then I will know for sure to blame my poor standardized test taking skills on you in addition to all of my other failures.

Statement: We heard of one couple meeting on E-Harmony.Com.
Proposition: All couples meet on E-Harmony.com.
Conclusion: C should become a member of E-Harmony.com or she surely will die alone.

Please select the statement/proposition/conclusion below that resembles this logic.

1. Statement: We once saw a movie where a tall red headed prostitute in Hollywood met a client, who turned out to be the man of her dreams.

Proposition: All tall red heads meet their husbands through prostitution.

Conclusion: C, a tall red head, should become a prostitute or she surely will die alone.

2. Statement Two: Our cousin D, who if possible was dumber than C, went to law school and
managed to land herself a husband.

• Sub-Proposition One: All girls brighter than D can go to law school.


• Sub-Proposition Two: All girls meet their husbands at law school.

Conclusion: C, a girl slightly brighter than D, should go to law school otherwise she surely will die alone.

3. Statement Three: M met her husband, the lovely M squared, by virtue of throwing a series of anonymous doctor parties where she was the only female.

• Sub-Proposition One: The daughter of M, C, can not compete with other females.


• Sub-Proposition Two: Girls who throw anonymous parties where they are the only females will not be perceived as desperate and f*ckin crazy.


• Sub-Proposition Three: Successful, good looking I-bankers will attend a party thrown by an anonymous host.

Conclusion: C must throw anonymous I-banker parties otherwise she will surely die alone.

4. Statement Four: Women in Imperial China had their feet bound at age six and then were successfully married.

Proposition: It is worth having your feet bound in order to wed.

Conclusion: C, a girl who suffers from peasant feet, should get her feet bound or she will die alone.
