Personality
A personality trait refers to relatively stable and cross-situational individual forms of behavior, feeling, and thinking. For example, some people tend to have strong emotional reactions, while others remain rather cool and composed even when exposed to stressful situations. There are people who spend a lot of time in company, while others prefer to be alone as much as possible. There are no good or bad personalities; rather, everyone has the right to develop and realize their individual personality traits. Partners with similar personalities develop a deeper and more empathetic relationship over time.
Relationship expectations
There are great differences in what people expect from a partnership and how they want to shape their partnership. For example, many people desire a very close bond with a shared apartment, while others prefer a rather open relationship with separate apartments or sexual freedom. A partnership is ideally shaped with similar expectations. When two people with opposing expectations of partnership meet, disagreements and conflicts are usually inevitable.
Hobbies and interests
In our matchmaking, we consider extensive individual interests and hobbies in a variety of areas such as: music, sports, culture & education, travel, cinema & television, collecting, fashion, nightlife, nature, pet ownership, food & drink, and much more. The more common interests and hobbies there are, the more harmonious and lasting a relationship will generally be. Because when there are matching interests and hobbies, there are many opportunities to share experiences together.
Attitudes towards social issues
We record opinions and attitudes on a broad range of social issues, such as social questions or dealing with deviant behavior. A certain degree of diversity in political views and opinions can enliven discussion. However, here too, two partners should not be too far apart, otherwise communication is no longer possible.
Biography
The loss of a job, the start or completion of training, recovery from illness, a promotion at work, the death of a close person, or an accident are profound events that shape a person. Everyone experiences such significant events and strokes of fate in their life. A similar background of experience between two partners promotes understanding, interaction, and cohesion in a relationship.
Sociodemographic characteristics
Numerous other characteristics, such as educational background or professional field, are included in our matching algorithm.
Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Of course, it is possible for you to narrow down the circle of suitable people regarding additional criteria such as age or place of residence. Likewise, you can specify whether you value that suggested participants would accept a person with, for example, a serious illness or a disability. We advise handling these restrictions with care, as too narrow a restriction of the search, for example, to a tight age range or a single residential area, is associated with lower chances of success.
Target groups
Single parents, vegetarian, vegan, seniors, bisexual, transsexual, asexual, pansexual, gay, lesbian, ecologically minded, esoterically interested, disabled, mentally or physically ill, curvy or Rubenesque, intersexual … and much more is specifically taken into account by Consonance in precision matchmaking.
