Why? Do you really want to date someone who is a reflection of yourself?

Seems like it could be a little narcissistic and maybe even boring. What about a little adventure and maybe some new, fresh perspectives?

Bottom line: There is no proven way to compute attraction.

Also, at least for me, my browser history is not even close to being a good indication of "who I am". It's mostly researching various technical things, so it would reflect that aspect of me very well, but that's a small part of my psychological makeup.
