EDIT (March 3, 1 PM EST): Note: the current sex ratio is roughly 6:1, men to women. There are, currently, HUGE returns for ladies who'd like to enter.

EDIT (March 5, 1 PM EST): The ratio has moved to roughly 3.5:1, so it's stabilizing.

EDIT (March 7, 6 PM EST): The ratio has moved to about 2.75:1. Decent progress!

Welcome to the new and improved Matchmaker Form!!!

In Phase 1, people sign up. Please answer all the questions AS DETAILED as possible! It's very much to your advantage to be detailed in your responses. ADVERTISE YOURSELF WELL! Making yourself sound boring is not a winning strategy!!!!

After Phase 1, I will take the spreadsheet of all your responses, sort them by sex, remove usernames and replace them with anonymous ID codes, and make the new, anonymized spreadsheet(s) public on /r/CatholicDating.

This begins Phase 2. Here, YOU RETURN to look at the anonymized spreadsheet of the other sex's responses. Then, based on how you like their responses, you submit a ranked list of your preferences, ranked from 1-10 or 1-15, using the ID code to denote them.

After Phase 2, we will make matches based on the preference rankings, and send out matches.

Phase 1 will last until March 13. Then Phase 2 will last for a short while after that. I'll have a clearer picture of how long it will last when the Phase 2 form is released.

WARNING: Anyone who participated in Phase 1 but does not participate in Phase 2 will go unmatched.

Please note two things. First, we are enforcing the rule that if you sign up, you must participate if you get matched, lest you get temporarily banned. You're allowed to message me (/u/MambaMentaIity) to ask to be taken off the form if you no longer wish to participate of course, but this has to be done before the end of Phase 2. I really dislike banning people - please follow through on this rule! More details here. Second, we're using the algorithm outlined here, so hopefully the code works!

IF YOU ALREADY PARTICIPATED IN PREVIOUS PHASE-STYLE FORMS AND WANT TO USE YOUR OLD RESPONSES: if you're a man and wrote about yourself for the February form, the public spreadsheet with your response is here. If you're a woman and wrote about yourself for the December form, the public spreadsheet with your response is here.
