The Atlasphere is a dating site for admirers of Ayn Rand. As we enter an unprecedented period of government bailouts and economic interventions, there seems to be a resurgence of interest in her work and philosophy of Objectivism. Here are a few excerpts of user profiles:
Zak, Long Island, New York:
I am rational, integrated, and efficacious. So far, I’ve never met a person who lives up to the standard I hold for myself (except online).
I take my relationships seriously. I am simply not attracted to many of the women in this world. I do not “hook-up” with girls. I only kiss those who deserve, and so far I have only encountered one who did. I would love to find someone I can learn something from; someone who challenges me to think; someone I can feel like I’ve won, rather than lowered myself to.
thustotyrants, Selden, New York:
[I am] short, stark, and mansome. (author's note: Mansom? Great word!!)
You should contact me if you are a skinny woman. If your words are a meaningful progression of concepts rather than a series of vocalizations induced by your spinal cord for the purpose of complementing my tone of voice. If you’ve seen the meatbot, the walking automaton, the pod-people, the dense, glazy-eyed substrate through which living organisms such as myself must escape to reach air and sunlight. If you’ve realized that if speech is to be regarded as a cognitive function, technically they aren’t speaking, and you don’t have to listen.
