Kalamazoo Weekly has an add in this week for Speed Dating. The ad reads like this, "Come meet someone special. Cupid.com/Predating is fun, no pressure way for busy professionals to meet. It's based on the incredibly hot, new way for singles to meet other singles with no rejection. Recent research shows that the chemistry between two people occurs within the first few minutes of meeting. With Cupid.com/predating you go on up to 12, six- minute dates in one evening. You can quickly determine who you would truly like to hear from again."
Wow. Made me think of what it might be like to take a test drive in a new car with that theory. Here's how it might look -
- Choose 12 sports cars
- Now you have 6 minutes or less in each vehicle to decide which one is right for you. (yes, that includes any research, facts, history, performance...you get the idea.)
- Pick one based on how you "feel" and put down a deposit.
- What????
Thoughts?

Yah, but I kind of think it's more like "Which one would I like to do further research on, and which ones won't even make it past the test drive?" Thing is, in my experience, almost ALL of them fail the test-drive stage. . . or is it just me? :-)
This kind of sounds realistic (though cynical) to me -- it's the way we are. We tend to make emotional decisions based on how the "test subject" feels, how she drives, and of course, how she LOOKS. It's only then that we bother to check under the hood and look through the maintenance records (hopefully BEFORE making a big investment).
