I find that it's also very possible to make concerted effort and end up fine in a relationship with relatively anyone: I've been with a student who spent her life in the same region as me, studied in the same class at uni and had exactly the same age for 6 years, a Pakistani 4 years younger, practicing muslim who was born and lived in Hong Kong, for 2 years, and ended up marrying a Chinese citizen 2 years older than me, and it's been 5 years and a child now... So I think none of the match making matters as much as the capacity for patience in relationship as well as rational understanding you build a partnership not a lifelong burning passion :D
