Hypothesis: Finding someone compatible is hard.

Proposal: Two subjects have a conversation and get to know each other to find out if they are compatible and if so in what areas.

Duration: 1-2 weeks. Experiment can be extended if both subjects agree to continue or can be terminated at anytime if one decides to abruptly stop replying.

Personal statement from the subject: Looking for someone who is interested in some part of me and vice versa. That’s kind of a generic statement so an example would be someone that has similar interests/hobbies (I like cooking/baking, photography, sitcoms with laugh tracks, the occasional outdoor activity, and making stuff). Or it could be that we have the similar backgrounds (I’m a first gen Asian American, have lived in 9 states, and try to live a minimalist life) or shared beliefs (round Earther and emo music lover). While this is the account I use for NSFW activity my mind isn’t thinking about sex all day so it would be nice to meet someone interested in talking about the mundane things in life too. Someone who wants to balance out the escapism of discussing fantasies with current events or what series they just watched.

I am in a relationship. My partner and don’t label ourselves as poly but believe that one person can’t (and shouldn’t) meet every need so we think it’s OK if there are other people in our lives that provide pieces that are missing. That typically takes the form of a platonic friend and nothing more. I’m interested physical relationships as well but there has never been a good enough match. So I’m open to anything from platonic conversation to a physical relationship and whatever may be in between. The ideal situation is that we get along and live relatively close to each other so we can meet up but it’s more likely that we’ll just be talking online. Don’t let distance be a deterrent if you want to reply and think we’d get along.
