    If you were able to set up some measures of what it means to "get along" or "be compatible" with someone, then I think it stands to reason that there is someone out there that will fulfill those metrics more than anyone else can.

But are we also willing to acknowlege that this measure is only going to have personal meaning for you? Some people like relationships with a lot of conflict*, some people like relationships with none. Clearly, what it means to "get along" with someone varies widely from person to person.

That is good advice though tng, I won't argue with you on that.

*using conflict as humanodon would mean it, not necessarily big screaming fights where we're throwing lamps at each other, but pushback, perhaps, disagreements, places where you don't see eye to eye - am I understanding it correctly humano?
