What do you think about "managed dating" by attachent style or other personality attributes?

Ok, so dating is a royal pain in the " ". It's hard to start, and it's so random with lot of wasted time. Solution...

Take personality test and therapist/coaching time to determine some critical attributes about you...attachment style, personality, goals... to help you align with others and reduce risks and ensure relationship success. Then meetup with many like attribute people... pre screened by therapists and with known attributes. Put people in common place, let them select whom they like.

No pre looking at profiles or writing profiles...

Can do this locally or globally, and arrange meet ups with "potentials" at an all inclusive resort (price not included). It's just a vacation, with potential to meet a match. No pressure... Out of this... you can get dates if you want. People can live their lives and make their choices. Decide to date or commit, ok fine.

Lets assume total cost $2000 [therapist time, etc..].. cheap! Plus cost of all inclusive resort.

We met at Nassau Bahamas...

Like the idea... I'd do it

Bad idea... won't do it

This sounds like a rational choice on some level until you include the all-inclusive resort costs. Most people don't have this kind of money to throw down, and the only dating that would occur would be at the resort? Or would this resort only have people from your town.

Sounds hella complicated and costly. True, profiles are thin slivers of who a person is. But this is what dating is about: getting past the words and pictures, spending time together, picking each others' brains and weighing personalities.

There's just no getting around it. You have to do work to get to know people. Your proposal has good points, but dating serves this purpose. There is NO SHORTCUT.

no... thank you

Well this largely already exists. Dating based on your personality type (16p) and alike are quite common.

There is obviously all kinds of segregation attempts. Financially successful. Good looks. One age with another. Similar professions. IQ, so on.

I am sure it can be taken to a more measured extreme by comitting as much as you suggest. However you absolutely can do a good personality test and be matched with complimentary persomality traits.

I actually think that's an excellent idea if those therapists are competent. They'll match me with my wife if they're competent.
