Student Question
Hello Master, what is your view on the idea of seeking a partner who has no weaknesses across all areas?
Master Chi’s Response
Matching partners entirely by data metrics is genuinely unscientific. Why insist on someone with no weak points in every area? No weak points means no exceptional strengths either.
Going forward, people will likely gravitate toward free-choice courtship. As social networking platforms continue to mature, more people will use them to communicate and filter on their own terms. Inner compatibility simply cannot be matched through simplistic data points.
Right now, the older generation is enthusiastic about matchmaking — but many young people don’t really embrace it. The two generations simply hold different ideas about choosing a partner.
Social platforms will undoubtedly grow more sophisticated, giving young people the freedom to connect and meet organically. Introductions through acquaintances will gradually fade away. People will stop meddling in each other’s private lives.
One follower living abroad mentioned that this is already the norm there — almost nobody sets people up. It’s all social platforms: meet online, then connect in person offline and verify each other’s details for yourself.
