Relationships: Internet Dating (Illustrado)
 |
Dear Dr. Holmes and Mr. Baer:
I joined an online dating site a
month ago. Since then I have met 17 women, all of whom described
themselves as younger than they really were and weighing less than they
really did. Is it just my bad luck or are all women really liars?

Dear Jimmy:
Thank you for your letter, despite its
false dichotomy. A false dichotomy, also known as either-or fallacy or
as black and white thinking, is when a situation is presented as having
only two alternatives, when that is not so. Other options include a
position that is between the two extremes; in other words, when there
are shades of grey though, alas, not quite the same 50 shades that EL
James describes in her trilogy (long live suburban porn!).
