The Soulmate Manifesto: Uniting All Soulmate Believers in an Effort to Solve Dating Research Cost After you have found your potential soulmate and have convinced he/she to date you, you need to spend time, money, and energy to make sure your love interest matches what you have perceived he/she to be. In other words, is he/she as wonderful as he/she first seemed to be? Also, you need to make sure your love interest is not a serial killer, child molester, or psycho. You need to verify the actual net benefit against expected net benefit. In order to research effectively, you have to know what your needs are, what makes you happy, and what drives you crazy. Research cost declines as you date more people because your diagnostic skills become better. With experience, you are able to rule in or rule out soulmate candidates faster. Research cost increases if your love interest is living or working far from you. The equation for research cost is: research cost = knowledge of self + diagnostic abilities + proximity Insights and Predictions People who marry at a young age will have higher divorce rates. People who do not date or date rarely have poor diagnostic abilities. Be happy when you get rejected and thank the person who is rejecting you. Getting rejected saves you time, money, and energy. Having a long-distance relationship will increase research cost. Stalking someone is actually unwanted research. Physical attractiveness is the most powerful attractive trait because it is the easiest to validate. People who fall in love before completing the research phase will be positively biased towards their lover. Playing hard to get will not work with people who have high research cost. It will only attract needy, clingy people, or players. Tactics to Decrease Research Cost Date as many people as possible before getting serious. To reduce the research cost of others, be honest and do not pretend to be someone you are not. Get out of a relationship as soon as you know there is no future. Hire a private investigator to research love interest. Go to a spy shop. Buy and plant bugs in love interest's home and car. Research and cross-examine love interest's family and friends as well. Keep a research file. Buy small tape recorder, tape every conversation, take notes, and watch out for discrepancies. < 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.
