《The Rosie Project》Graeme Simson

A questionnaire! Such an obvious solution.  A purpose-built, scientifically valid instrument incorporating current best practice to filter out the time wasters, the disorganized, the ice-cream discriminators, the visual-harassement complainers, the crystal gazers, the horoscope readers, the fashion obsessives, the religious fanatics, the vegans, the sports watchers, the creationists, the smokers, the scientifically illiterate, the homeopaths, leaving, ideally, the perfect partner or, realistically, a manageable short list of candidates.

"I'll add a question on HIV and herpes."
"Stop," said Claudia. "You're being way too picky."

 I began to explain that an incurable sexually transmitted disease was a severe negative, but Claudia interrupted.

"About everything."
