Hate the Game, Not the Playa

By Ian

Knowing my co-blogger's prediliections concerning game theory, I tend to relish finding fun/useful reasons to reference it on this site.

Over at Mahalanobis (one of my all time favorite blogs), is this great post placing a dating situation into a game-theoretic structure. (And due note to the inciting post at JMMP.)

Ah, how I could have used this back before I met my current love (the "dark days", as they're known now). How often have we all been faced with the prospect of multiple people trying to win our attention through strategic choices? Boy does that take me back...

how someone could not love Game Theory is beyond me.
