OPW — Mar 1 — Irena and I got our match results back from GenePartner.
Apparently we're a match. After sending in our mouth swabs and waiting
several days our results were revealed to us as an overall 80% match
which is between good and fantastic. Our attraction level should be
between attracted and very attracted. We have a high symmetry of
attraction meaning that we are attracted to each other at the same
(high) level, and we have a high probability of a successful
pregnancy. No problem there.
The most intriguing result was for the 'Type of Interest' scale which
runs from 'I feel safe and comfortable around this person' through to
'I would like to date this person' which is more about excitement vs
safety. We're at the far end of the date scale. Is this good?
Apparently yes, for excitement and fun. But we shouldn't expect to be
placid in old age, or wait for feelings of security and safety. Good. That works for us. All in all, I'm excited about what companies like
ScientificMatch, GenePartner and Basisnote are bringing to the idating
space. Gattaca references aside, there's some future for this kind of testing and now that tests are under $100, they may also become viable. – Mark Brooks

Hi Mark,
That’s so cool that you took the test and it confirmed what your heart had told you all along. I think I know the answer to this but Irene wasn’t on birth control when you guys met was she?
I speak about the chemistry of love often and the serious changes that the pill can do to a woman’s olfactory sense. See my interview on ABC’s View from the Bay: http://www.joyofromance.com/intelligent-love-vodcast
Thanks for all your great work updating us on the Online Dating scene!
Much appreciation,

Hi Mr. Brooks!
Have Irena and you also tried ScientificMatch / Basisnote to see if the reports are nearly the same as GenePartner?
It would be great if you could check also both ScientificMatch and Basisnote!
