"Question 1: How do you like your friends?
A. I go off vibes.
B. I'm welcome to any and everyone! I'm a people person:)
C. The more common interests, the better.
D. I like people with influence, I'll climb whoever to reach my goals and dreams.
E. I like pretty people, if they're pretty, I approach them.
F. I'm shyyyy, so it's whoever talks to me firsttt."

"Is mindreading 'vibes'?"

"I think that depends on what kind of stuff you try to determine with the mindreading?"

"Like... if they'd be a good friend."

"Sure, we can call that vibes. But, like, if you were mind-reading people to determine if they were important and easy to manipulate, that would be D."

"Question 2: the age preference you have for your partners?
A. Around my age
B. I date whoever can fund my lifestyle
C. It’s whatever
D. Even if someone is only 3 months older than me, I still wouldn't touch them with a 6 foot pole"

"They’re mostly older than me but not because I care about that particularly and there’s no answer for if it was! C I guess."

"Question 3: how do you prefer your lovers?
A. sweet and romantic
B. a little 'toxic' (yes I, the maker of this quiz, am side eyeing you)
C. with wealth and power"

"What’s toxic mean?"

"It literally means poisonous. In the case of people, it refers to a vague cluster of behaviors like insulting you or creating conflicts or not listening to things you say."

"Just stuff like that, not like hitting me?"

"If they hit you without asking permission that's also toxic."

"What if they don't ask permission but I was totally angling for it because if I'm not getting hit enough somebody I don't pick'll take it on themselves to see I do?"

"Egad. Uh, I think that counts, here? Certainly it would count in the social context the quiz is from."

"But there's no 'a mix of all of those things' answer..."

"There is not, you have to pick. Or, I mean. You don't have to, it's your dream. But if you don't pick we can't do much with that."

"Well, I guess my favorite things about any one of 'em are sweet and romantic things."

"Okay. We'll pick that one then."

"Question 4: choose a go-to rule for dating
A. get someone that is obsessed with you
B. follow the money!
C. go for who you truly love
D. the older the better"

"This one lets you pick that you prefer older people? So it's not that they never thought of that?? - should I know what money is?"

"Yeah, I can try to explain. But it's a lot, and I'm being a bit lazy, so I might make mistakes."

"In societies where the quiz writer is from, there's only one kind of person, and it's humans. Humans can't swear oaths. So nobody can be as powerful in a human society as Melkor is in Angband. So there are lots of interactions between humans in which they have things other people want, and other people have things they want, but nobody can just order the other person to give them the thing."

"When human societies are simple and small, they can resolve this by just trading things directly, or by owing each other favors, or such. But when there's lots of people, that gets pretty complicated. So people go 'Well, lots of people like having copper, and pieces of copper of the same weight are probably all similarly valuable. What if we used pieces of copper of the same weight to conduct exchanges? Then it will be less confusing, and even if I don't personally need copper for anything I'll probably be able to buy something from someone else with it later.'"

"This is a bit of a just-so story, I don't actually know what the introduction of money was like. The point is, money is a thing lots of people want that can be exchanged for stuff like food and apartments."

"Why would I follow money here, are they going to drop some?"

"The idea is that if you're dating them, you can potentially induce them to give you some or use it to get you things."

"Oh, okay.

"Am I answering for - if I was in the apartment in the nice location? Like are all these answers supposed to come together?"

"I don't really know. Like, if none of the options make sense for the real you, you should answer for the person in the nicely located apartment, but plenty of people the quiz is designed for are in poorly located apartments which also aren't luxurious."

"Well the answers are really different. I'd take A for just usual but C if I were in the nice apartment."

"I think let's go with just usual, since it produces an answer that still makes sense."
