I think each prospective date should describe what they are looking for in a person to date. Since this web site involves companies and stocks, perhaps the description can be worded in terms appropriate to that of describing a company or a stock for the purpose sizing it up for a trade or investment. Here we get into balance sheet items like their assets and liabilities. Perhaps they can start with a description of themselves first in this manner. Should be interesting.

What does one look for in a potential stock position? I guess it depends on the duration of a trade: a "one night stand" as in a day trade, a short term trade as in "summer fling", or a long term investment as in a longer term relationship that can lead to stock splits and even spinoffs from the parent company. Some people trade a stock before they end up taking a longer term position in the stock that they find has longer term potential.

I do not know how to describe ones "ego" in this scheme which has been mentioned before as a personal attribute of concern. Perhaps is a company that doesn't have the financing to back up its aggressive actions in the market place and operates off of a highly leveraged position with little evidence of a real profit in the near future? Just book profits. Perhaps the company does not even have a product to show, but is aggressively pursuing money through hype and an IPO with promises of profits to come. Offering a real marketable product is not a prority to them. I do not know. Be creative!

Just some thoughts.
