LJMatch.com thinks I am 12% sexually compatible with myself. Which means I could improve 8-fold from the action I'm getting right now!
Unfortunately, it doesn't have an opinion about how normal-compatible I am with myself. And what, exactly, does it mean when I'm 106% compatible with someone?
Edit: Oh yeah. And apparently I have one Secret LJ Crush, one Public LJ Crush, and one LJ Ex-Crush. I think I know who the latter two are, and the former is welcome to make an anonymous (or not) comment. It strikes me that selling the names behind the numbers is both wrong and self-defeating. It's wrong because (I don't think) people were informed that the information they provided would be sold. They aren't being justly compenated for their labor. (And hey, what's to stop someone from pretend-crushing, only to crush the hopes of the purchaser.) But more interestingly, it's wrong-headed. If someone has a public crush, presumably that can be figured out, so the purchase doesn't gain anything. If someone has an ex-crush, it doesn't matter much; even if you buy the info, you won't be able to say "Hey babe... you used to have a crush on me... wanna go out?" So it seems that they're offering the purchase of secret crushes. But if you tell someone who their secret crushers are, the crushes are no longer secret. So by learning about them, they become public crushes, but we already established that buying public crushes was worthless ;-)
Anyway, my theory is that if you can't muster the courage to tell your crushee about it, it should remain a secret learning experience. If you get together by paying someone to tell about it, you've missed out on an important lesson about taking action to bring about the state of affairs you desire. Be the change you wish in the world.
