Singles with level

I find myself, go figure why, with an email message: "Singles with class." They promise me that if I register on the website, I will be able to access "intelligent partner search," which doesn't mean they will find me an intelligent partner, but that the partner search will be intelligent. Of course, they emphasize that the singles in their database are singles "with education." They emphasize this a lot. "Single, authentic, and educated people." I know, from friends who have looked for partners on other singles portals, that you find people who unzip their fly at the same time they pull down their mask, within five minutes.

I look to see what questions they ask you. "Who would you choose as your ideal partner?" You have two options. The first, "an attractive, exciting person full of surprises." The second, "a self-confident, calm, and balanced person." Wow. Both are good. Does it mean that the first one doesn't want to commit or is married and these would be the "surprises"? Does it mean that the second one has been single for centuries (and that would be "self-confident") and is boring and stingy (i.e., "calm and balanced")? No, no need to overthink it, let's be calm and balanced. Another question is: "What is your opinion on sharing household chores with your partner?" Four options: 1, completely traditional. 2, quite traditional. 3, quite modern. And 4, completely modern. Here I understand that "completely traditional" means "completely old-fashioned" and I deduce that, in the case of a hetero couple, it means the woman does everything. Quite traditional, on the other hand, perhaps means he picks up the plate from the table, but she washes it. Completely modern, on the other hand, would be that both (if there are two) share the chores or pay half for a company that cleans their house in a completely traditional style.

On the next page, they warn you that the more they know you, the more they can get it right with you, and they ask you: "Do you like a dominant partner?" I think of my aunt Pura, who always feminizes this adjective and says that such a woman is "dominanta." They also ask you about your interests in a very curious section where you have to choose "what fits you best" between two concepts they consider antagonistic. On the left, "self-interest" and on the right "care for others." And four boxes, not five, so you can't click the middle one to indicate that you might like both things. One has to interest you more. Here it might be easy, but then there's "reflection" versus "action" and many times it's after reflecting that you act.

The third contrasts "personal growth" with "financial success." I don't have financial success, but I would like to, and perhaps I don't have it because I don't dedicate myself to personal growth. I don't know if what they are really asking me is if I prefer to read Paulo Coelho or go to the stock market, because both things seem worse to me than going to forced labor in Siberia. They also contrast "speaking" with "listening," which is absurd, because one speaks to listen and listens to speak, unless you are a talk show guest. My goodness, the next one contrasts "Mathematics and physics" with "art and music," as if music were not art. Does it mean I can't like mathematics and music? I'll leave it here. My ideal is a mathematical musician.
