Someone should have asked him, "Really, a presentation on atomic spectroscopy couldn't possibly be boring, even if Howard was doing it?"

"Leonard: Have they found a match for you?"

"Howard: Tons. I’ve had, like, eight dates in the last month. And twelve if you count the ones who showed up and left."

Howard, Raj and Stuart have tried finding a date - perhaps a life partner - on dating sites. Only Howard has had some dates, the other guys were rejected.

Sheldon is the only one who has found true love - and the Nobel Prize - thanks to a dating site. He is so popular, that he can even reject a finalist of America's Next Top Model.

Choosing punctuality over brains and beauty is just Soooooooooooooooooo-Sheldon. To him, ALL his requirements are equal. Raj and Howard seemed dumbfounded. But, what would have been even more shocking would have been for Sheldon to give way just because someone, say, scored 99 on his 100-point checklist.

Seems, all of them would appear "perfect on paper"; even Stuart (before his "breakdown" and now that he is back-in-business). Meeting them in person, of course, would be something else. Still, it makes you wonder why they DIDN'T receive responses enough to "crash a site".

Anyway…

Enjoyed seeing the clip...thanks for the chuckle.

I've mentioned before, on a different thread, that Sheldon owes his entire happiness from meeting Amy and working out the Nobel-prize-winning idea etc, to Howard and Raj setting him up, which he would never have done himself. And even after the computer match-up, Sheldon would not have actually met Amy if Raj hadn't "blackmailed" him with the dirty sock threat.

It wasn't so much "choosing" punctuality over brains and beauty, it was that the time limit was a rule, and Sheldon is compulsive about rules. Especially those he creates himself.

But it's also possible to get him with other peoples' rules. Remember, Sheldon came with a manual!

Sheldon owes them all for his not being alone. Amy because no other woman would put up with him, He would have scared Raj's Lucy in just one minute.

Not after he refused to add her name to his paper.

That was much earlier. She went after him - the kiss, etc - in a later season. She obviously wasn't still holding a grudge.
