What anonymous said
Love and compatibility have nothing to do with these outward layers we pile on ourselves and might express in a survey or interview. The success of any relationship, ultimately, comes down to is two people's willingness to be nice to eachother, stick with one another through hard times, and most importantly, make one another laugh. Of course, a relationship strong in these aspects is something that takes years of growth and nurturing. It doesn't spring out of nowhere. It's not some inherent component that has to find a 'compatible' pair. It's something that takes time, patience, openness, sacrifice, and work. This reality, of course, is the reason why finding a partner is such a timelessly difficult task for many people, especially those who tend to jettison a relationship at the first sign of trouble. The only thing this nonsense would serve to do, in my view, would be to serve as a sort of placebo, making two people believe they're 'compatible' and 'stable' enough to impel them towards the actual effort that love requires.
