I share your twisted wit, love of the Dilbert strip, and jaded take on the dating and mating game. Yes, it is enough to drive one mad with the irrationality of the behavior of most people engaged in the hunt... And yet, the fact that I am financially secure and comfortably retired, as well as intelligent, doesn't seem to be very impressive to most of the women in my dating pool, so I can relate to the OP's selected Dilbert strip.
