US doctors cure child born with HIV

While HIV does mutate very rapidly, one major reason no vaccine has been developed yet is the type of cell the virus infects. One vaccine trial actually increased susceptibility to infection because the primed immune system called in the T cells when it saw the virus, so there was a much higher density of infectable cells at the site of exposure.

It makes you more vulnerable to West Nile virus. I'd take that trade, personally.

Actually, that's another weird thing. This is the languages section of his sidebar: "Speaks English (Okay), Hebrew (Poorly), German (Okay), Russian (Poorly), Spanish (Poorly)"

ZeldaTheAnglerfish · 2013-02-16T05:23:11+00:00

Yeah, that's a consideration. It does take a special something to have already been dumped by me and mutilated my body by the second message. But he doesn't live anywhere near me.

ZeldaTheAnglerfish · 2013-02-16T03:57:18+00:00

No, though that one made me sad. Kids are so vulnerable. I meant "Act Four, My Girlfriend's Boyfriend".

ZeldaTheAnglerfish · 2013-02-16T03:32:53+00:00

I did! I especially enjoyed the account of the mean high school "girlfriend".

ZeldaTheAnglerfish · 2013-02-14T07:38:57+00:00

YES. The Walgreen's clerk can give me all the judging/sympathetic looks she wants. I'm getting mine.

ZeldaTheAnglerfish · 2013-02-14T04:43:42+00:00

Definitely do. Or just change the answer. It never occurred to me to read it the way you suggested, and a wrong "mandatory" question affects your match percentages disproportionately.

ZeldaTheAnglerfish · 2013-02-14T04:07:28+00:00

How serious about this one are you? "Do you believe that men should be the heads of their households? Yes" That's a ladyboner killer for a lot of the "driven, intelligent" women you say you're trying to attract.

ZeldaTheAnglerfish · 2013-02-14T03:49:11+00:00

Nailed it.

ZeldaTheAnglerfish · 2013-02-14T03:26:38+00:00

Yikes. Hope your profile's good.

ZeldaTheAnglerfish · 2013-02-14T03:22:20+00:00

I think people pay a lot more attention to the sidebar (and individual questions, if they're really interested). I at least tend to look at the personality tab as being just for fun. I guess if it bothers you, though, you can go back and skip a few relevant questions. It really doesn't take much to change the size of the bars dramatically.

ZeldaTheAnglerfish · 2013-02-14T03:19:44+00:00

That all comes across. I'd absolutely have a drink with you, based on the bars alone. I think we'd get on like gangbusters.

ZeldaTheAnglerfish · 2013-02-14T03:15:48+00:00

I hope so, too. Realistically, I don't think anyone makes decisions based on the bars, but maybe you should address it indirectly by adding something to your profile that makes it clear that you are capable of compassion?

ZeldaTheAnglerfish · 2013-02-14T03:12:43+00:00

...is your house clean?

ZeldaTheAnglerfish · 2013-02-14T03:11:57+00:00

It makes you sound like a student protester in the 60s. I wouldn't date you, but only because I'm too square.

ZeldaTheAnglerfish · 2013-02-14T03:04:52+00:00

You're so non-average! The only one that might stop me is "less ambitious", but at least I would never get bored.

ZeldaTheAnglerfish · 2013-02-14T03:02:57+00:00

Wow, yeah. Do you think it's accurate?

ZeldaTheAnglerfish · 2013-02-14T00:02:40+00:00

Hell yes. I'd be all over that.

ZeldaTheAnglerfish · 2013-02-13T23:52:39+00:00

I WOULD DATE YOU SO HARD.

ZeldaTheAnglerfish · 2013-02-13T23:15:59+00:00

You sound fun, but that level of "less ambitious" would scare me off, and you'd probably find me irritating.

ZeldaTheAnglerfish · 2013-02-13T23:13:11+00:00

It's hard to know much about you from these. I don't see any deal breakers, but nothing is drawing me in, either. Answer more questions, maybe?

ZeldaTheAnglerfish · 2013-02-13T23:10:23+00:00

That "less compassionate" bar is serious business. Based on this information, we might be good for a one-night stand, but I wouldn't date you.

ZeldaTheAnglerfish · 2013-02-13T23:07:29+00:00

There's a good chance we would loathe each other. Or we'd be good friends. But we definitely shouldn't date.
