The page quote for dating sims has been pulled, as per this thread. I've done some googling for a replacement quote, but it's hard to find any pithy quotes about dating sims in general that aren't in the form of "Hey, look at this weird stuff the Japanese make." Does anyone here know any worthwhile quotes to introduce the page with?

...eventually, we will reach a maximum entropy state where nobody has their own socks or underwear, or knows who to ask to get them back.

"You're kidding. They make non-porn versions of games like that? Wow. That's... really sad." — Junko, MegaTokyo #1174

You can see it in the history for the page.

The World God Only Knows would probably have a good quote for you, but nothing springs to mind.

That's what I was thinking, but I just finished an archive binge, and nothing popped out. All Keima's quotes are too specific.

What exactly are we looking for in a quote? I was thinking of this dialogue between Daru and Okabe from Steins Gate Episode 18 (the dub). Possibly Daru's line would work on its own.

Daru:"Dude, if it's dating advice you're after, I'm like the golden child. I've made out with so many babes they're thinking about passing a law: Nene, Shiori, Honoka, Rinka-"

Okabe: "Thank you Lothario, but no. System cheats aren't going to help me on a real tête-à-tête."

As for The World God Only Knows, episode 12 of season two of the anime might have some more general quotes (I can't remember whether it was based on an actual chapter).

"The game must have a profound story, with an elaborate background and setting, to give the girls the opportunity to shine!"

"But first the game must have playability! A dating sim is required to offer an entertaining simulation experience."

That's where a whole bunch of Keimas argue inside his head about what actually makes a good dating sim. Actually the two parts to that quote are spoken by two different Keimas.
