Step #1:Field of Eligible Partners

This one is common sense. Who is eligible? This depends on your sexual preferences, and on prospective partners’ marital (and dating) status. So, look for men (or women) who are single!

Step #2: Propinquity Filter

All you need to do here is consider physical proximity. For example, people who live in the same city, state/province, etc. as you. With the magical world wide web this filter becomes much more forgiving. Your prospective partners can live almost anywhere, and still be accessible to you. However, traditionally, someone who lives/works/spends a lot of time near where you do should easily pass through this filter.

Step #3: Attraction Filter

First, take a few minutes to consider what you find attractive. Consider both physical attraction, and personality traits that attract you. Are you attracted to tall, dark, and handsome? Blonde and muscular? Blue eyes and a nice smile? Are you attracted to smart, funny, relaxed, ambitious, prestigious, or honest? Note which characteristics are most important to you, and allow prospective partners with these characteristics to pass through to the next round.

Step #4: Homogamy Filter

We all want someone similar to us! Our partner should be similar to us in at least a few key areas, the most important of which social scientists have determined to be: age, race, education, socio-economic class, religion. Some of these may be less applicable due to personal choice, social paradigm shifts, and societal reformation (for example, interracial marriage is more common than ever), so consider the areas of similarity most important to you.
