Nonsense. It is very much about relationships. Read the title. Now, you can argue that it's metaphorically about or related to other things but the problem with that kind of mush-headed reasoning is then everything is about everything and everything is appropriate for any forum. It's the sort of dilution and loss of focus that that makes forums grow useless. When you fired up your browser and brought up HN today, were you really looking forward to reading one woman's soulsearching article about finding a mate? And some then some dude's bizarre rationalizations (see top comment on thread) why he won't date women older than 26 (28 if they're Asian!). This is plainly not 'Hacker News' unless you define 'Hacker News' so broadly that it includes what I had for lunch today.

You are confusing the pragmatics of the decision to take the plunge into marriage with the underlying relationship. I'm interested in entrepreneurial risk-taking, and the kinds of considerations and miscalculations discussed in the article are entirely relevant. There's nothing metaphoric about it, though you may find some of the obscuring detail extraneous or expressed in an insufficiently detached manner.

I'm confusing something? You just called an article about relationships an article not about relationships. And the risk taking described in the article is not 'entrepreneurial' except metaphorically. The article is about finding a husband. Sure, you can find some kind of business-related lesson in there but again, if you can do that you can find a business-related lesson in almost anything.
