When my friends get together, they all drink at their own pace. Some will have 8 drinks by the end of the night, some will have 2. This was the case in high school and college for me, as well.

My point is that anecdotes are not data and have no bearing on the truth of the original article.

It's a bit tautological, but the idea is that the very definition of "not on the same level" includes being annoying/boring to the other people around you.

It could be less about literally 1:1 matching, and more about attitude and enthusiasm matching.
