Love Actually 1.0 – Discover your compatibility level with other people
It is a natural human curiosity wanting to know what other people think of us, and how much they like us. To know that we should really read through their behaviours and the signs of their appreciation, but human behaviour is so strange that sometimes it is difficult to understand something. Let’s get some help from software then.
Love Actually is supposed to calculate the affinity of you with someone else, through a complex algorithm that reminds me of the one I used for the same type of game when I was 6 years old.
Write your name and the one of your beloved and press the ‘Calculate My Suitability’ button to get an unmerciful percentage, which will show in big numbers your level of affinity.
I’ve tried it and sadly realized I get a very low score with almost every other name I enter. I’m not compatible with the man I thought I liked and with the ones I don’t particularly fancy. I’m not even compatible with my girl friends.
Although this may accidently reflect my actual incompatibility with the entire human race, how could possibly the program know?! And even if it knew that, why penalize all the Francescas in the world? It is really not fair.
If you get my same extremely low results, don’t get upset, it’s just a program that knows nothing about social relations. Considering the nonsense of people’s behaviour though, such silly matching-name software can make sense!
