20 years with my partner. No test either. I just knew.

I don't think we know what we really want. I didn't until J came and made me feel good in a certain way. No not that way. Although she does.

Not everything can be quantified and qualified. I think it is a symptom of our society and culture today, everything can be quantified, reduced, decide upon and controlled. I agree with the others here that this testing for a relationship is not my style. Been married to Mrs. Joe for 18+ years now. Would not have missed it for the world. I wold say that the test is ongoing. Heck it's not even a test, it's more like a course. Yea, the course is still in session.

Wasn't there a thread once about reducing compatibility to numbers? It had to be back in 2003-2004. anyone remember?

I've found some success with the Political Compass, but I recognize it's not for everyone.

Anyone mentioned that what you want or believe is important at this particular moment in your life may/may not be relevant in 10, 20, 30 years? As you age your perspective, wants, needs... all change as do theirs. For example. the physical characteristics which may be important when 20-ish will be FAR LESS of a factor as one ages. Whereas the emotional, spiritual and ethical traits will be far more important.

So, you're not hung up on appearance as long as they have the kind of legs you like.

The best kind. I have a pair in mind *right now*. They're a matched set, but I happy to separate them.

I realized early on that my wife-to-be could remember people's names.
I could remember phone numbers, etc., but names were/are beyond me.
This sort of thing was true in other ways too.

We're in our 52nd year now, and we still complement each other, so things are good.
.. better than anyone could reasonably expect from the differences in our backgrounds.

This would be awesome.

Her: honey, what's Bob's phone number?
Him: er, which one is Bob?
Her: Tall guy, red hair, was at the club last week
Him: Oh, yeah, Bob ... 555 - 4367.
