How did you manage to infer that my interests were so pedestrian?

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply anything about you in particular. Obviously, I don't know anything about you. I was just commenting on the strategy you were proposing and voicing my opinion on the odds of it working for different types of people.

If that strategy worked out for you despite you being really different from most people, I think you must have just gotten lucky to meet some people who were also really different from most and also like yourself.

In my own experience, there just aren't enough people who are compatible with me to have a short profile and just roll the dice. Over and over the dice rolls fail. But, who knows, maybe it's just bad luck.
