Love resume

Lately I've been pondering the prospect of evaluating love the same way as evaluating a job. If you're qualified for a job, you should at least be able to get an interview. Same thing with dating, if you share the same goals with a potential mate, you should at least qualify for a date. I guess what I'm trying to say is, there is no true "scientific" way to pick a mate. Yes, I understand the dating websites have their 'success" rates, but if dating websites "scientific" process was so great, how come internet dating isn't the Defacto way to meet someone? Just because a person "looks good" on paper and share common goals with you does not mean that will translate into your perfect mate. Love and dating have a lot of intangibles that can't be pinned down. You may find yourself attracted to a person for reasons totally unrelated to their "paper resume". Just because "on paper" a person should be a perfect fit for you doesn't mean it's true. The deciding factor in love matches comes down to one thing: Chemistry. You might meet and fall in love with someone at the bottom of your love resume pile. Simply because that particular person had one thing that the people with "great" resumes didn't have. Chemistry. There will always be a certain segment of folks who will marry for stability or religious reasons. For a lucky few, the resume of their mate will match the chemistry and it's a match made in heaven. Some people will bypass the chemistry part for the sake of stability. Only each individual knows which route is best for them. But for me chemistry will win everytime.
