I made a list of what I want in a partner, weighted them (how valuable to me), rated my past partners according to what I wanted and multiplied their ratings by the weights. Here's chronological order scores of my past partners (including current dude). Max possible score=1560pic.twitter.com/1QNBT2vq4A

I think you’re making a category error here. You’re atomizing the aspects of a wholistic experience and are surprised they don’t summate “If you take apart the Taj Mahal brick by brick you’ll never find it’s beauty” I’d recommend reading The Master and His Emissary
