Now, I enjoy the concept of online dating, since it is predicated on an algorithm, and that's actually only a simple way of saying I've got a problem, I'm going to use some data, run it by means of a system and get to a solution.

Are the families going to get along? What is the rabbi going to say? Are they going to begin having children right away? The matchmaker would sort of think through all of this, put two people together, and that would be the end of it.

Susan Patton, also known as The Princeton Mom," first caught the public eye in March 2013, when she released a letter to the editor in The Daily Princetonian. The letter advised the youthful female pupils at Patton's alma mater to seek husbands while at Princeton rather than dating the lower-quality men they had meet in their own post-college lives, and to dedicate more of their time and energy to locating a great husband instead of focusing on their professions. Less than one year after that initial media circus, and several weeks after one sensibly timed repeat performance in a Wall Street Journal op-ed last month, Patton has returned with a full-length book version of her original guidance, Marry Bright: Advice for Finding the One. The 11-month reversal indicates a rush to capitalize on her brush with all the limelight, and really the quality of the book does appear as slapdash as could be anticipated.

Well, I want both - surprise, I Will confess that despite having been brainwashed by feminists! - Thus... did I find Marry Smart to be only the no nonsense straight talk that I needed to achieve my true dreams of Leave It To Beaver-design domestic bliss?
