Path: sparky!uunet!portal!cup.portal.com!Eric_S_Klien From: Eric_S_Klien@cup.portal.com Newsgroups: alt.personals Subject: Electronic Matchmaker(tm) Questionnaire - Draft 6.85 Message-ID: <72447@cup.portal.com> Date: Sat, 26 Dec 92 15:57:10 PST Organization: The Portal System (TM) Distribution: world Lines: 3153 If you receive the following directly from me, consider yourself signed up. Everyone who receives this WILL receive the final draft when the service is up and running. STATUS REPORT on electronic matching service. Our site will be run by walterv@world.std.com/Walter Vannini. He will be launching the service on a UUCP account off the WELL. Programming is underway and we are currently looking for someone to write the UNIX and Macintosh interface programs for people who don't want to work directly with a text questionnaire. A backup programmer for DOS interface programming would also be appreciated. We are also looking for experts of the Coherent 4.0 UNIX operating system. Following is the latest draft of the questionnaire. I am still taking comments on it: ELECTRONIC MATCHMAKER(TM) QUESTIONNAIRE Copyright 1992 Eric Klien. All Rights Reserved. DRAFT 6.85 DO NOT FILL IT OUT as this is NOT the final draft. Send comments to eric_s_klien@cup.portal.com. ********************************************************************* Electronic Matchmaker(tm) is a global matching service that does not prohibit people from using it based on their gender, marital status, physical disabilities, race, religion, or sexual orientation. ********************************************************************* EM Headquarters: Eric Klien, 8124 Bridlepath Way, Las Vegas, NV 89128. E-mail address: eric_s_klien@cup.portal.com. Traditional methods of courting and flirting are risky generally to both men and women. Not only are they risky, but they are ineffective. I know many, many people who have had serious problems using the traditional dating methods. This service is intended to improve people's lives by providing better marital and relationship matches. Ideally, superior matches will make for happier relationships and situations. This document contains: * An introduction to the service * Technical details about the service * How to fill out the questionnaire * The questionnaire This service has no charges or fees. Whether you have just submitted a questionnaire, have received a bad date, or have received a great date, you are not required to send any money. Of course, donations will be gladly accepted if you have a great date. The history of dating services shows failure due to lack of people. The best way to get the greatest number of people is to offer a free service. For example, a service in Las Vegas has a detailed questionnaire, but charges $9995 for a worldwide search. Electronic Matchmaker offers a worldwide search for free. EM is currently working on creating a listserver that can: * Send questionnaires to people who request them. * Process questionnaires and send error messages if they are filled out incorrectly. * Give people e-mail addresses of potential matches until they ask the listserver to stop. I plan to post weekly messages like the following to alt.personals: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of new entries this week men - straight 99 men - bisexual 22 gay male 22 women - straight 77 women - bisexual 11 lesbian 11 Total number of entries men - straight 99999 men - bisexual 22222 gay male 22222 women - straight 77777 women - bisexual 11111 lesbian 11111 Afghanistan 100 Japan 100 Spain 100 Australia 100 Lebanon 100 Sri Lanka 100 Bangladesh 100 Korea 100 Switzerland 100 ... ... ... Number of matches sent out this week 5421 Number of people requesting removal from database 410 Reason for removal: dating 400 dissatisfied 1 loss of e-mail access 9 unknown 0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ********************************************************************** MEN signed up: 402 WOMEN signed up: 206 Total: 608 people. ********************************************************************** ALGORITHM The matching algorithm is set up to look at DESIRED MATCH choices using the following priorities: "A" for absolutely and "R" for refuse "Y" for yes and "N" for no "L" for like and "T" for tolerate After each step, the algorithm will see how many matches are available. If only ___ matches are left, the algorithm will stop. The rate of agreement on matching is checked for both people. If A matches very well with B, the algorithm still checks to make sure that B matches very well with A. After sending in your questionnaire, you will receive a report like the following: Of the 52,421 men on the system 1 matched your criteria 90% 25 matched your criteria 60 - 89 % 425 matched your criteria 20 - 59 % 15,149 matched your criteria 5 - 19 % You can then reply with choices like the following: SHOW TOP 10 or SHOW TOP 5 or SHOW TOP 1 MULTIPLE PURPOSE If you want several types of contacts such as: * somebody to meet close * a pen pal far away * a good friend * someone to visit for a holiday not too far from home You can send multiple questionnaires, and differentiate between them by using different passwords in each questionnaire. Or you could just check multiple SELF Xs in the Relationship question. CHANGED MIND If you change your mind about how you wish to answer a question, you can resubmit a new questionnaire. You don't have to flag the questionnaire as a resubmittal. SEXUAL COMPATIBILITY These questions have been moved to the end of the questionnaire so people who don't want to answer them don't have to read them either. If person A answered all these questions, while person B didn't, they would have less chance of matching as person B would fail to match in all the DESIRED MATCH choices selected by person A. COMMENTS Don't include comments scattered throughout the form. If you want to include comments, write them at the end of this questionnaire in the section entitled, COMMENTS THAT YOU WANT YOUR MATCH TO SEE. PRIVACY All initial contacts between matches will be done by e-mail. If you want your contact to be totally anonymous, send e-mail to anonymus+ping@godiva.nectar.cs.cmu.edu. You will be given an e-mail address like anonymus+9999@godiva.nectar.cs.cmu.edu. Enter this e-mail address in the general information section at the end of this application. You may even hide your e-mail address from Electronic Matchmaker(tm) by sending e-mail to anonymus+2373@godiva.nectar.cs.cmu.edu instead of eric_s_klien@cup.portal.com. Note that "anonymus" is the correct spelling for using this service. Note that all answers are confidential. Not only will they not be distributed to any persons or companies, but they will not be sent to your match. I feel that people will answer more honestly if they know that their matches will not be reading all of their answers! On the other hand, the optional comments that you may enter at the end of the questionnaire will be sent to your match, unlike your answers. HOW TO FILL OUT THE QUESTIONNAIRE In each of the following rating questions: 1) Specify your own attributes by replacing the dash in the appropriate selection in the SELF column with an X. Use multiple Xs for SELF where appropriate. 2) Specify whether you wish this attribute in your DESIRED MATCH by placing a (Y)es, (M)aybe, or (N)o in place of the dash for each appropriate attribute. If you don't replace the dash, then your answer will be interpretted as (M)aybe. 3) If you don't care about a question, just leave the entire DESIRED MATCH column blank. 4) For increased precision you may answer (A)bsolutely must match, (Y)es - want match, (P)refer such a match, (M)aybe, (T)olerate such a match, (N)o - don't want match, (R)efuse anyone with this attribute. If you can't remember all these letters, you may answer with an answer of 1-7 with 1=R, 2=N, 3=T, 4=M, 5=P, 6=Y, and 7=A. 5) If you use the simple Y/M/N method on some questions you may still chose to use the more precise A/P/L/M/T/N/R on other questions. I would highly recommend that you use the "A" and "R" options in the gender and orientation question. EXAMPLES: TEMPER SELF DESIRED MATCH _ Am easily angered Y X Average temperament Y _ I almost never lose my cool Y _ I never lose my cool N _ I learn from past mistakes and failures _ _ I am tolerant of different beliefs _ _ Occasionally have nuclear outbursts R This is a person with an average temperament. She wants to meet someone who "Y"es is easily angered, has an average temperament, or almost never loses his cool. She "N"o - doesn't want someone who never loses his cool. She doesn't like the Vulcan type. She "M"aybe wants some who learns from past mistakes and is tolerant of different beliefs. And she "R"efuses to be matched with someone who occassionally has nuclear outbursts. TEMPER SELF DESIRED MATCH _ Am easily angered _ X Average temperament _ _ I almost never lose my cool _ _ I never lose my cool _ _ I learn from past mistakes and failures _ _ I am tolerant of different beliefs _ _ Occasionally have nuclear outbursts _ This is a person with an average temperament. He doesn't care about this category so has not filled in the DESIRED MATCH column.

Monthly prizes will be given to the people who accumulate the most cupid arrows that month. This promotion is to help reduce the male/female imbalance which hurts both heterosexual men and lesbians. You must fill in all questions in the General Information area with the exception of the optional fields. I need your city, state, and zipcode so I can see how close you are to other people. The last four digits of a full nine digit US zipcode are optional. I need your birth date to determine your age, and your e-mail address so people can contact you.

I need a password in case you want access to your private information. Please create a unique password that you have never used before. With your password you can: * Request that copies of your answers be sent to you * Request that copies of your answers be sent to someone else. * Request that you be removed from the Electronic Matchmaker(tm) database.
