They make it seem like it is a sports contest. Stacking the deck to win?? Perhaps this is a case of poor volabulary choices, but personally, I never thought of dating as a contest. (I can see why one might look at it that way) My view is that if I find the perfect gal,
The lyrics of one boy one girl come to mind:
