Assignment 3 – “The Dating Market: Anarchy in Action”
1. “Dating, while it rarely involves the direct exchange of money for services is

beneficial relationships with others, who have what they need and want what
they offer.” (Pg.1, Para. 3)

Slide six refers to the Invisible Hand. It takes billions of people acting in
their own self interest to improve the quality of their lives. People who
want to date are trying to find that special someone to make their lives
complete. They are searching for the “right” partner. Finding the “right”
person may be seen as a way of improving the quality of their own lives.
