Frustrated with the Apps? Try the Burned Haystack Dating Method

<p>I&rsquo;m going to introduce you to a method called&nbsp;<strong>&ldquo;Burned Haystack Dating.&rdquo;&nbsp;</strong>It&rsquo;s far more effective and efficient than what most people do &mdash; but before I explain it, you must understand a few things:</p> <ol> <li><strong>The method was developed as a result of an academic research project that is entirely non-monetized, non-promoted, and not-for-profit.</strong>&nbsp;I am not a &ldquo;dating coach,&rdquo; and I do not consult for monetary compensation.
