The Soulmate Manifesto:

Uniting All Soulmate Believers in an Effort to Solve Dating

The Method

This manifesto is a compilation of knowledge from thousands of abstracts and hundreds of research articles from Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, and Psychiatry research journals. Information from all leading books on love, relationships, and marriage were also used. Yes, I have spent thousands of dollars gathering them and thousands of hours finding and reading them.

My theory of love arose from more than 14 years as a professional soulmate hunter as well as from my work experiences in pharmacoeconomics and investment banking. Pharmacoeconomics is the study of whether the benefit of a drug outweighs its side effects and financial cost. The similarity of love and drugs are shocking. Love has anti-anxiety, antidepressive, and stimulating properties. Love also has addictive properties along with withdrawal side effects.

In investment banking, I was trained to look for good investment ideas and suitable companies to be merger or acquisition candidates. Love can be viewed as a merger of two companies. Also, love can be viewed as an investment. Love has risk and return profiles similar to any stock or mutual fund. Behavior of lovers are very similar to investors'. Both search and research costs are required to find good investments as well as soulmates.
