Aluran, Inc.		The Soulmate Manifesto: Uniting All Soulmate Believers in an Effort to Solve Dating The Need Why did I write this manifesto? I am tired of seeing people wasting their time, energy, and money trying to find love, being stuck in relationships with no future, suffering from breakups, and being lonely. Currently, no one source exists for educating people to find and maintain love. Many books on love, dating, and marriage are published, but no one book contains all the necessary information. Most of them are too wordy or lack empirical evidence. Too many research articles have been published on these topics. How many people have the time and money to hunt down these articles? Once obtaining these articles, most people do not have the knowledge to interpret them because of the articles' scientific nature. This manifesto summarizes the current body of knowledge in simple language for all to comprehend and use. Second, I am passionate about Psychology, especially in the area of interpersonal relationships. Either through genetics, my early childhood experiences, or both, I believe I was gifted with a very high aptitude for social and individual behavior. Other people may differ with this view, so I maybe socially retarded in the real world. I was a Psychology Major in college. I loved Psychology so much that I took five upper-division Psychology classes above the major's requirement. I also sat in a Social Psychology course for a second time just to make sure I did not miss anything. I am planning to get a second doctorate, this time in Psychology. This manifesto will give me a head start on my Ph.D. thesis, "Love economics: an analytical model of interpersonal dependency." I plan to devote my life and wealth to understanding love and identifying heuristics, or mental shortcuts, that undermine love. Third, I want to satisfy my dreams and ambitions of making a difference in the world. Many industries use a business model similar to finding a soulmate. Examples of such industries are investment banking, entertainment, publishing, and job placement. Please read the section below, named The Outcome: Increasing Social and Human Capital, for further explanations. Finally, it serves my own need to find my soulmate. Because I am a social deviate, the odds of finding my soulmate is much lower than most. Someday, I hope somebody or a company will solve dating. Currently, I have yet to find such a person or company, so I am starting one to help everybody, including myself, who is searching for their soulmates. This manifesto serves as a catalyst to unite all soulmate believers in an effort to solve dating. I have finally found the solution after many years of researching social networks. This manifesto starts the market campaign for this new and revolutionary service. < Back Top Next > SPREAD THIS INFORMATION   If you want to help solve dating, please spread the word by clicking below: Be a supporter by joining our mailing list.
