The Dating Design Patterns book has been around for a while, but somehow I missed it. They even have a site for the book.
Some of my favorite patterns:
- Cary Grant Helper: Originally called “Pull out a chair, get laid,” the gist is that the classic gentlemanly behavior cannot be unappealing. Implements the Gentleman 1.0 specification.
- Structured Exposure, a.k.a. Container-Managed Dating: How to use commonly available dating containers to achieve maximum sessions with less time and effort and an array of services you don’t have to write yourself.
- Trojan Proxy: An extremely effective, low-risk high-planning pattern for connecting through a third-party safe proxy. Strategies include children, pets, female friends, and married male friends.
- Optimistic Persistence, a.k.a. Surprise Statefulness: Store small unique key data and create impressed listener by retrieving it. Females consider retrieval of data regarding anyone but himself or any sports figure highly unusual in a man, and likewise highly valuable and appealing.
There is even a Patterns Relationship Diagram.

About donxml
I’m an independent consultant, specializing in .Net solutions architecture, based out of New Jersey who also doubles as an evangelist for XML, Domain Driven Design, enterprise architecture and .Net. I do not work for Microsoft, the W3C or any other big company that you may know of (at least not yet). I’ve been an indie for over ten years, and although I’ve been tempted a couple times to take a job with companies like Microsoft, I’ve haven’t found something better than my current situation. I work mostly with the large pharmaceuticals that are based here in New Jersey, and usually find myself on long term contracts. Definitely not the prototypical indie consultant, but it lets me dedicate time to my non-income generating activities like the developer community stuff, plus financing open source projects like XPathmania and MVP-XML. If you would like to talk to me about doing some contract work, just contact me via the contact page. My rates vary widely, depending on lots of different variables, but mostly distance from Jersey, and type of work. Plus, I’ve been known to donate some of my code for various projects.
