New Compatibility Twist on Dating after covid-19 began

Several years ago, Dr Neil Clark, Warren, founder of the eharmony, matchmaking web site, identified 29 Dimensions of Compatibility that are scientifically proven to predict happier, healthier relationships.

Your viewpoint on covid-19, its origins or how best to protect yourself and others from exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus could actually become a relationship show stopper -- compatibility dimension number 30.

So-called anti-vaxers or those who are fanatically opposed to mask wearing could never coexist with a love interest who has an opposing perspective.

These two behavioural choices are irreconcilable.
