The Soulmate Manifesto: Uniting All Soulmate Believers in an Effort to Solve Dating On Your Own You expand and maintain your existing social network to increase your odds of finding your soulmate. Most common social places include bars, clubs, parties, bookstores, coffee shops, grocery stores, churches, weddings, professional conventions, and gyms. There are five types of social networks: Social Network Types 1.  Family & Close Friends 2.  Work 3.  Religious 4.  Community 5.  Activity-based Your work network includes your co-workers or classmates. Religious ones include people whom you socialize with at church, mosque, temple, or other religious institutions or events. Community networks are organizations like Habitat for Humanities and other volunteer associations. Examples of activities-based networks are the Sierra Club, Bingo night, a gym, a bowling club, or a softball league. Lastly, there are your family and close friends. After processing the people in your networks, you use your circle of friends to go to bars, clubs, parties, and other social events to expand your social network in order to find your soulmate. Weaknesses 1.  Time Constraints Most people work full-time. People have domestic tasks such as grocery shopping, laundry to wash, and house chores. Also, we have a circle of close family and friends to maintain. To maintain more than 3 social networks that do not overlap will be very time demanding. 2.  Narrow Social Reach Rarely do people have all five active social networks. None of these networks have to be independent of each other. Some networks overlap so you could have people belonging to two networks simultaneously. Your activity friend can be a co-worker. People in your religious network can be the same people in your community network. A co-worker can also be a close friend. Thus, people usually have 1 or 2 social networks. You will be lucky to have 2-3 networks with some overlapping. In addition, the sizes of your social networks are usually small. It is rare to have a social network that is larger than 100 people. 3.  Low Frequency of Meeting Community, religious, or activity-based social networks usually meet periodically. At a bar or club, you may only have a few minutes to judge. If meeting frequency is low or nonexistent, people will be judged on physical appearance alone. < 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.
