I've signed up for round 2 officially - even paid the fee to participate. But I don't know what to look for in emails. Will it contain the name "bookbear"? I'm wondering how we'd know if/when a match is made.
"I think it’s really important to like the way someone smells. And the texture of their skin." — the way someone smells is soooo important haha. Also someone's voice is really important to me for some reason.
"I think talking is fundamentally erotic..." — also it's so erotic to have a true intellectual connection with someone!
"The term 'infinite optionality' is thrown around a lot when modern dating is brought up. Lately I keep thinking about how we have finite time, finite room for error, and finite attention to give." — probably my favorite insight here. Modern dating and dating apps and so on give people this illusion that there's an endless number of potential partners out there for you. But I don't think people are easily replaceable.
i really want to do this!! my state isn’t on there but i’m 3 hours from one of them. is there a question regarding long distance relationships (both platonic and romantic)?
I would be surprised if we ever find a method of matchmaking that works better than chance, but it's still worth pursuing, because the rewards are so high
I know a lot of people want us to expand to other cities—will try to do that in the next batch!!
So excited that this is happening again! This would be the sickest "how we met" story
for ppl that did the last round, will match info come from bookbear express?

I would love to participate but I’m in LA. Any chance you’d consider expanding to other cities?
