in his early 50s short story "silent towns", earth is BTFO'd by a nuclear war in the distant future year of 2005, so all the peeps on mars go back to check up on the aftermath

except for one lad named walter gripp, who missed the rocket ships leaving cuz he's an isolated miner

so walter's all bummed out cuz  >tfw the squad abandons you on another planet and he becomes desperate for social interaction so he starts phoning all the cribs on the red planet to see if there were any other non-normies that got left behind

eventually a womyn named genevieve selsor picks up and they talk for like 30 seconds before the line cuts off, so walter's like "don't worry bae im cumming coming" and drives for two days to meet up with her, because obviously since she's the last woman on mars she destined to be his gf

when he does meet her, miss selsor turns out to be obese, obnoxious and somewhat unhygienic, so walter GTFOs before things got any more /r9k/ and goes back to being alone

so yeah, he pretty much described online dating with that story

fucking hell i put a lot of effort into writing that summary
