Who Should I Be With? Cards to Help You Identify a Good Enough Love Match

Example Cards:

• Oddly Tall
  + They’ve learned to carry it off; imposing/heroic; acquired compassion for anyone outside the norm.
  –  They’ll always be conspicuous. Residual sense of being freaky will reveal itself. Hotel beds too small. Long haul a nightmare (unless rich).

• Surprisingly Short
  + Neat, delicate, pattable; they’ve coped with this challenge – they’ll cope with lots of others; they know it’s character that counts.
  – Suppressed resentment. Overcompensation. It will always be something people notice. Might shout a lot in public.

How to Use the Cards

You might…

• Sort through the cards, picking out the character traits you appreciate in a partner, and the ones that you find most maddening.

• Play the game with a friend, and enjoy the opportunity to laugh warmly, given how imperfect we all are, at the paradoxes of choice.

The bold black-and-white design lets you know these cards are concerned with opposite character traits and the mutual embeddedness of strengths and weaknesses, prompting a debate about the duality of any choice we make when it comes to love.
