In April of this year, 22-year-old Erin St. Gull printed out a hundred copies of a one-page document and hung them up around Toronto. She calls it a “dating doc,” and in it, she lays out what she needs: marriage; kids; someone, male or female, who is in their late 20s or early 30s and who, preferably, can make her feel excited about life. She also includes what she can offer potential suitors: fertility and youth. She writes that she is extremely smart—and that she can “say this with little pretension as it is the one most provable trait I can claim to have”—as well as “philosophically inclined [and] ruthlessly committed to reason.”
