Eastern red-tailed hawk: Started finding websites for further seeking a life partner yesterday before bed last night

Ma, Pin (Sid), All,

Started finding websites for further seeking a life partner yesterday before bed last night ... Am ongoingly skeptical of most (re their business models and ethics too), yet some women who post to them could be looking too for a life partner especially ... A pretty 27 yo Stanford or Yale MD seeking creative man (WUaS, music, Harbin) to begin a family ... Quaker, UU, Cuttyhunk island in summers, and regarding further actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' Ethnographic research site for long term studying, founder of MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch ... And so on?

Or contact interim UU Minister Michelle Collins at the UU Church of Kensington / Berkeley - to which I've walked often in the past year or so (culturally too somehow), - and come into conversation with her, that I'm seeking a life partner, - and since my parents met and married in the UU Church of Cincinnati in 1957 ... and my mother is still active in the 1st UU church of Pgh?

... and re ethics (UU too), seeking ... So, a pretty 27 yo Stanford or Yale MD seeking creative man (actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' Ethnographic research site for long term studying, founder of MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch, music) to begin a family of 3 or so ... Quaker, UU, Cuttyhunk island in summers, ... And so on?

Would Cuttyhunker and UU Minister Betsy Mead Tabor in New Hampshire like to apply for this Minister position in Berkelely when it opens ?

eHarmony (Kim Viehland mentioned this a few years ago)

https://www.eharmony.com/

(but am very skeptical too of such web sites, this one out of LA - and regarding a bad experience experimenting with Match .com in 2006-2007 - when I was just exploring - and where I clicked the free for a month button, or similar, and then, I think, Match un-clicked it, and I was charged $300 on my credit card, and my credit card wouldn't reimburse this ... ouch)

Both Susan Taylor (from a Reed College educational context) and Anke Starke (from a Pendle Hill Quaker Study educational context) ... past

far-reaching mutual loves both ... seem like likely precursors ... regarding somehow my 'love map' (a John Money PhD word, referring to a template in the mind and brain for who's attractive ... ) ... where context seems relevant for meeting, given my past experience (and was Susan 21 at the time, and Anke 23, and from the former east Germany, - and since I speak German, we shared a language in common too, and I could learn from her).

Welcoming your thinking, or introductions of potentially great fits, regarding finding a life partner ... shared values, culture and ethics (and lack of breaking the law, for ex.) has much appeal ... so possibly Quaker or UU, for example, in some contexts?

Able to meditate this morning Yogically again in more space than a car :)

Trip was good in retrospect :)

Warmly, Scott
