I got the impression using wifi in airplane mode paired with years of exchanging numbers at hacker cons and academic events influenced my matches in some odd ways.

Anyways I thought she was just some random divorcè but she worked for the local FFRDC

Edit: it also may have been a catfish who got annoyed I had no idea who the person she was impersonating was absent being fourth author on something outside my area of expertise
