I don’t know if it’s a system based on highly-evolved social-sensory interaction or just mildly-selective complacency, but I may remain envious of the simplicity of the canine dating world until I am able to walk up to another human and determine, through an act as simple as recognizing their aroma, that, yes, this person is an acceptable candidate with which to procreate. 

As one who currently does not employ such a system, I’ll continue frustrating myself with inane practices like struggle to invent activities to entertain potential mates into thinking I’m remotely fun and/or interesting, meet the friends, meet the parents, talk on the phone, supply witty banter on Facebook profiles so everyone knows we date, pretend to enjoy “Meet the Parents,” and figure out where all my money went.
