Electronic Matchmaker(tm) Questionnaire - Draft 6.85

[Eric_S...@cup.portal.com]

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 wal...@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) 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...@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

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
anonym...@godiva.nectar.cs.cmu.edu. You will be given an e-mail
address like anonym...@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
anonym...@godiva.nectar.cs.cmu.edu instead of
eric_s...@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.

-GENERAL QUESTIONS

1510. LIMIT OF PEOPLE YOU WANT EM TO GIVE YOUR ADDRESS TO

If you have very popular characteristics, you could conceivably be
matched with tens of thousands of people who would then contact you
after being told that you match with them.

You can raise or lower this limit by sending the command LIMIT 10 to
e...@limit.com if you wanted to limit the number to 10. If this limit
is reset, then Electronic Matchmaker(tm) will allow that many MORE
people to contact you.

1520. EXCHANGING GIF FILES

A GIF file is a photograph in computer format. It can be transmitted
via e-mail. Electronic Matchmaker(tm) will eventually offer the
ability to transmit and receive GIF files. We will also add a
service for people to mail in photos so we can make GIFs from them.

One cupid arrow is given to you for each woman that you get to sign up.
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.

Currently the only use of the phone number information is to determine
the longitude and latitude of Canadian users. I have a database for
Canadians that works on phone numbers, not addresses.

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.

In case 2, a confirmation statement would be sent to your address. Birth
date will be asked along with password in all cases for a second layer of
protection.

If you want to be real generous you can even send donations before the
service is up and running. EM Headquarters are based at Eric Klien,
8124 Bridlepath Way, Las Vegas, NV 89128.

If you don't want to answer them, STOP reading the questionnaire now.
There are NO more questions you need to answer.

There are four reasons you may not wish to answer the following:

* You just want a pen pal/acquaintance and therefore such questions
don't apply to you.

until later in the relationship.
* You have insufficient sexual experience to answer them.
* You just don't like to answer such personal questions.

* ANSWERING THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS IS OPTIONAL! *
* THESE QUESTIONS WILL GET PROGRESSIVELY MORE PERSONAL *

and inconsiderate.
i would like to ask (politely and publically) that this *NOT*
happen again. this is a blatent abuse of this group, and many people's
time and resources.

i have sent this person private mail to request the same, (but i
may have hit the [^v] paste function in the address.... sorry if you
receive more than one copy of the un-abridged version of this request)
and i hope you/he will accede to this totally reasonable request....

thank you so much....
and, as always, i am/at:

doug: < do...@eng.umd.edu > : < do...@lpf.umd.edu >

i never thought that there were corners in time
'til i was told to stand in one.
one straight line head on into the other; maybe standing
in a corner looks like where its got to go....
but i'll pretend that one wall is the past,
and one is the future, and i'll stand here like the present
looking for a good place to run!
