>> The catch is that the folks at the extremes have to be exceptional in one or more ways in order to get a positive reaction from me. I think this is the crux of the issue - we don't have absolute, binary requirements, we have weighted preferences. "He's a bit older, but then again he looks youthful. OTOH he doesn't have any hobbies. But then again we're aligned politically. Okay, I'll chance it." A better way would be to allow you to set these weights and have a scoring system, and then you can set a numerical threshold.

>A better way would be to allow you to set these weights and have a scoring system, and then you can set a numerical threshold. That would be great, but it won't work. Too many people will answer questions incorrectly or not at all, and almost no one will be able to even use the app effectively even if the app designers implemented it. And I have no confidence the app developers would even be able to implement it properly.
