Introduction

This is my first post here. I was looking for an adequate place to write about dating psychology and found lesswrong.com. Before fixating on writing something I searched the site to understand the community better and noticed that most posts start with a concise section about the writer's credentials and how they happen to reason that they are knowledgeable enough on the subject they are writing about, to post about it in such spaces. I will adhere to that and explain my thoughts briefly before starting my endless ramble. This essay is not a complaint. It's a systems-level account of what social initiation feels like from a rare personality/intellect profile—meant as both analysis and invitation to others who might be stuck on similar parameters.

I am twenty-two years old and have limited experience with dating, which is exactly why I am dumping my conception of how it might work here and sparking dialogue or finding individuals with similar profiles to point me in certain directions.

The main arguments boil down to:

Unfortunately I do not have any officially recognised credentials in psychology or philosophy. I do however have a tested profile which sits at +3σ on the Wechsler Scale and I believe that my reasoning, even if streamlined here for the sake of not drifting off into sinkholes of context, is sound.

This will likely deviate harshly from academic papers and what people are used to when reading structured analysis because of the perspective it's deliberately written out of. About a year ago I felt an isolable need for partnership for the first time in my life. Since then I've fallen into trenches full of information and have come to multiple conclusions a...
