I think it's great for two reasons: (1) It's funny because of how ridiculous it is. Go on a Tinder date, go back, hook up, and then go through the Wasteland and she couldn't be less interested. (2) It's as clear an example as you can get of where we are at as a culture: sex, alienation, not a care in the world for substance.

> It reads awfully judgemental.

It is.

> Maybe she doesn't like Eliot, maybe he read poorly, etc...

Lol, no.

> All I'm saying is this article really seems to do Anna dirty.

It is not about "Anna" specifically. The example is about a general pattern.
