--THE HOMETOWN HERO-- “There goes my hero, watch him as he goes. There goes my hero, he's ordinary.“

YOU ARE MATCHED WITH: [The Reformed] SKELETON BLURB: Being a first responder, you became fairly well known around your hometown for heroic actions. Unfortunately the attention and recognition was starting to interfere with effectively doing your job, resulting in you transferring away from the area/district to have a lower profile. You have also been seeking a quieter life in terms of settling down even though the career hours are long. And although you aren’t necessarily in a rush to be matched, you're reasonable hopeful for success, as well as making some new friends.

Maybe eat dinner near the lake, split dessert, and then walk a bit before saying goodnight. -FINALLY, IF YOU COULD GO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD FOR 1 WEEK, WHERE WOULD YOU GO? I would go to Greece. There is so much history there, and I would just like to explore the ruins and learn a lot.

Remember Opemipo Bamgbopa, Kid Actress, Who Played Role a in Maradona Movie, See her Recent Pictures

  She was very young when she played a lead role as a wife of rich man in a movie titled ‘Maradona’ some years back. She was a wife to Ogogo in the movie and her role was amazing one, she played the role of a very rude wife to her husband and others domestic staff. I’m talking about Opemipo Bamgbopa, the very talented actress who sturned many people with her mrole in Maradona Movie. As I said…

--THE REFORMED-- “I found a reason for me to change who I used to be, a reason to start over new...“

YOU ARE MATCHED WITH: [The Hometown Hero] SKELETON BLURB: You had a troubled & criminal past but a stint of jail time rattled you enough to make some serious changes to your life after being released. Although there has been a struggle to get on solid footing again (losing friends/people you thought were friends, finding work, getting yourself a place to live, etc.) you have managed to get there and have also been hoping for a fresh start in terms of a good relationship, since that track record has also been rough. You’re hoping that someone you’re matched with will come to accept you as who you’ve become, as you’re determined to leave your past behind you.

--Interview Questions & Answers--

-TELL US 3 OF YOUR POSITIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS: I’m loyal and work hard in pretty much every way I can (at my job, working out physically, in relationships, etc.). Also when it comes to relationships I’m affectionate and devoted, and always do whatever I can to give my best to the people who matter to me. I think that’s more than 4 but some of these kind of sound similar so hopefully that works as 3. -TELL US 3 OF YOUR NEGATIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS: When my temper flares, it’s hard for me to calm back down and I’m not always the most thoughtful person at the time. I’m blunt, which, at least you know what you’re getting upfront from me, but I know it rubs some people the wrong way. And I’m confrontational when provoked. Sometimes that’s been a good thing but sometimes, not so much. -ARE YOU CURRENTLY EMPLOYED? IF SO, WHAT DO YOU DO? I work for a local landscaping & painting company, and I’ve got a part time bar hand job. -WHEREABOUTS IN PORTLAND ARE YOU LIVING? St. Johns. -DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A PEOPLE PERSON? I guess. I can socialize but I like small groups/gatherings the best. -DO YOU ENJOY ANIMALS/PETS? Yeah. I get along with most of them and I’ve got a pit of my own. -IF YOU AREN’T ALREADY, DO YOU SEE YOURSELF BECOMING A PARENT SOMEDAY? I’m not sure. If the chance with a good person comes up then great. -WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO FOR FUN? I like to sketch, shoot hoops, play with my girl, Missy (my dog), tattoo, and play card games. I’m not sure I’d say I do this for fun but I’m trying to up my cooking game too. -WHAT 5 TRAITS OR CHARACTERISTICS ARE MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU IN A ROMANTIC PARTNER? -Trustworthiness, honesty, open-mindedness, a sense of humor that meshes with mine, & someone with some drive but not overdrive. -DESCRIBE YOUR IDEAL FIRST DATE WITH YOUR MATCH: Something simple and easygoing that lets us be able to talk and get to know each other more while having a good time. I’m not picky. -FINALLY, IF YOU COULD GO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD FOR 1 WEEK, WHERE WOULD YOU GO? I’ve wanted to go see parts of the world, but if I could go anywhere for a full week, I’d probably pick Egypt, or somewhere with a lot of history still there to see.

–THE TOWN GOSSIP– “All of these words whispered in my hear... People say crazy things, just ‘cause I said it, don’t mean that I meant it. Just ‘cause you heard it...“

YOU ARE MATCHED WITH: [The Romantic] SKELETON BLURB: Life has been rather unkind to you. In the past, when you were knocked down you would get back up again. At some point, you got tired of being a proverbial punching bag and decided to fight back. Knowing you have a gift with words, you pursued a career in journalism. When it didn’t pan out the way you had hoped, you re-directed to tabloid journalism and have recently come to know the new ‘dating’ app, Matched. Terrible as it sounds, you aren’t all that invested in a rapid relationship with someone else; your friends dared you to take part--to genuinely give it a try, and if nothing else, to make for a good ongoing story.The latter is what ultimately led you to sign up while intending to collect the promised incentives and play your part as convincingly as you can for the sake of your line of work.

–Interview Questions & Answers–

-TELL US 3 OF YOUR POSITIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS: Determined, Passionate, Intuitive -TELL US 3 OF YOUR NEGATIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS: Impatient, Shallow, Outspoken -ARE YOU CURRENTLY EMPLOYED? IF SO, WHAT DO YOU DO? I do have a job. I’m a magazine columnist. Some people say I’m a shit stirrer. I just like to expose truths that people don’t necessarily want uncovered.. and then I publish them. -WHEREABOUTS IN PORTLAND ARE YOU LIVING? Goose Hollow -DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A PEOPLE PERSON? I love talking to people, so yes. -DO YOU ENJOY ANIMALS/PETS? If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have a cat, would I? -IF YOU AREN’T ALREADY, DO YOU SEE YOURSELF BECOMING A PARENT SOMEDAY? Oh god… I doubt it. I would be a terrible parent. -WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO FOR FUN? Watch trashy reality TV shows, go to concerts, put the laptop on the toilet seat and watch Netflix while I soak in a hot bath until the bubbles are gone, boxing class, crocheting - don’t knock it til you try it! -WHAT 5 TRAITS OR CHARACTERISTICS ARE MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU IN A ROMANTIC PARTNER? 1. Hot. I said above that I’m shallow. 2. Have a job. I’m not footing the bill for someone else. And I don’t want to be with someone lazy. 3. Have goals. 4. Make me laugh. That is a pretty typical answer, right? If I can’t laugh with a person, there’s no point in being with them. 5. Respect me. I’ve been treated like shit in the past. I don’t want to go through that again. -DESCRIBE YOUR IDEAL FIRST DATE WITH YOUR MATCH: I’m terrible at planning things. If we do something easy like dinner, that’s fine. -FINALLY, IF YOU COULD GO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD FOR 1 WEEK, WHERE WOULD YOU GO? I’d go to Antarctica. I know cruises there are expensive as hell, but how many people can say they’ve been to the south pole? Not that many. Everyone goes to Hawaii. Everyone goes to the UK. I just want to see some penguins. And not in a shitty zoo.

–THE WALLFLOWER– “I ponder of something great, my lungs will fill and then deflate. They fill with fire, exhale desire...“

YOU ARE MATCHED WITH: [The Gym Rat] SKELETON BLURB: You were raised around extroverts, all with boisterous personalities. That, however, is not you. The older you’ve gotten, the more you’ve become shy and awkward. You’ve often been encouraged to go out and meet people--to socialize and broaden your horizons, as well as your relationships. At times, you have wanted to and even made feeble attempts but to little-to-no success. Feeling you need the assist, one of your relatives signed you up for Match, filling out your profile in its entirety in hopes that, if you don’t at least find love through it, that the experience might bring something interesting to your life. Now that you know and believe there’s no backing out, you’re very anxious about whomever you’ll soon end up dating and married to.

FACE CLAIM: Caity Lotz

RP CONNECTIONS: The Peter Pan & The New Age Hippie

–Interview Questions & Answers–

-TELL US 3 OF YOUR POSITIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS: “I’m compassionate, athletic, and devoted.” -TELL US 3 OF YOUR NEGATIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS: “What if there’s more than three? If I had to choose, I’d go with fickle, quirky, and compulsive.” -ARE YOU CURRENTLY EMPLOYED? IF SO, WHAT DO YOU DO? “Yes, I own a salon and spa downtown. I’m a hair stylist, so I specialize in that area, and of course handle the business sides of things, including the hiring. Between our staff though you can get the full treatment— hair, mani/pedis, and even massages.” -WHEREABOUTS IN PORTLAND ARE YOU LIVING? “I have a small single family home in St. John’s. It was actually the home I grew up in, but eventually my parents decided they wanted more land and luxury, so they moved to Forest Park. I didn’t want to see the home go— I’m kind of nostalgic like that. I’ve made a few improvements, but I love my place. It’s definitely ‘lived in’.” -DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A PEOPLE PERSON? “Definitely not. It’s not that I don’t like people— I do. But I guess I was just used to being in the background, having grown up around all of these exuberant, outgoing personalities. I just never felt like I really fit in that peg. But I do care about people; my family, my friends. I’m just not the best at making them or new acquaintances. which I should be; you’d be surprised how many people feel the need to strike up conversation and entertain you while you’re doing their hair.” -DO YOU ENJOY ANIMALS/PETS? “I absolutely love pets. Dogs, cats… any kind. I think in a second life I would have been a vet. Animals are easy to socialize with. They don’t judge and they love you unconditionally. You can be an awkward goofball and they still want to cuddle with you. I have a couple of them, actually!” -IF YOU AREN’T ALREADY, DO YOU SEE YOURSELF BECOMING A PARENT SOMEDAY? “I think so. I mean, I’d like to be a parent. Ideally with someone special, but I think if it came down to it and I didn’t have a significant other I would adopt, or something. I do love children. They might bring me out of my comfort zone, which probably wouldn’t be a bad thing.” -WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO FOR FUN? “Call me a dork, but I love board games. I also enjoy sports and being outdoors. Biking, sailing, volleyball? Any chance for fresh air and I’m there. I may or may not secretly have a competitive side. That’s probably the best way to bring me out of bashful mode is to challenge me. It must be the adrenaline.” -WHAT 5 TRAITS OR CHARACTERISTICS ARE MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU IN A ROMANTIC PARTNER? “Not to sound shallow, but there needs to be an attraction there. So, yeah. Attractiveness. Not to mention loyal, honest, caring… and they have to have a sense of humor.” -DESCRIBE YOUR IDEAL FIRST DATE WITH YOUR MATCH: “Like I said, I’m definitely low-maintenance. I think going to like an old-drive in theater would be fun. Privacy would be nice since you’re in a car and can talk all you want, but there is always the option not to as well. And gouging on junk food, of course. Or going to an arcade or carnival. It’s easy to get to know someone when you’re playing games and having a casual, fun time.” -FINALLY, IF YOU COULD GO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD FOR 1 WEEK, WHERE WOULD YOU GO? “I would love to go to Germany around the holidays and visit all of the unique Christmas markets and shops. I’ve heard it’s incredible there.  I would want to tour some castles as well. I just think it would be a really fun, cultural experience.”

[matched-roleplay]

–THE GYM RAT– “We need body rockin’, not perfection. Let your back bone flip but don’t slip a disc. And let your spin unwind, just take a risk.“

YOU ARE MATCHED WITH: [The Wallflower] SKELETON BLURB: Physical fitness hadn’t really become important to you until adulthood, following a health scare. With a great deal of discipline, you’ve changed your lifestyle and pursued a career path for it, not only to maintain your own health but to help others. You have a great personality and an equally great understanding for self-care, balance and moderation, which makes you a favorite in your field. Unfortunately, it has also led to some shallow and short-term relationships thus far in your life. As important as fitness is to you, you would like to have something real with someone who might also push you for once. Knowing that Matched might not necessarily bring you that, you’re at least willing to take a gamble, and hope for the best.

–Interview Questions & Answers–

-TELL US 3 OF YOUR POSITIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS: I’d have to say I’m loyal, energetic and upbeat. -TELL US 3 OF YOUR NEGATIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS: I’ve been told I can be a little cynical, headstrong and impulsive. -ARE YOU CURRENTLY EMPLOYED? IF SO, WHAT DO YOU DO? I’m a personal trainer at a gym downtown called the Energy Hub. -WHEREABOUTS IN PORTLAND ARE YOU LIVING? I have an apartment in Goose Hollow, not that far from downtown. Close to work, close to where the action is. Or at least, what can pass for action in Portland. -DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A PEOPLE PERSON? Definitely, that comes with the job though. If I couldn’t deal with people I wouldn’t get very far in terms of being able to motivate my clients towards their fitness goals. -DO YOU ENJOY ANIMALS/PETS? Totally. I had some dogs and cats growing up, and love animals. I don’t actually have one these days, but I wouldn’t mind getting a pet again some day. -IF YOU AREN’T ALREADY, DO YOU SEE YOURSELF BECOMING A PARENT SOMEDAY? Sure, I could see that, raising a family with somebody special. -WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO FOR FUN? I’m into lots of different sports like basketball, volleyball and swimming. Fitness in general is actually as much a hobby as it is a career. But aside from that I like to watch movies, I enjoy cooking and every now and then I like to go sailing. -WHAT 5 TRAITS OR CHARACTERISTICS ARE MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU IN A ROMANTIC PARTNER? I have to say, a great smile goes a long way with me. Intelligence and warmth is important too, and ideally she would be athletic. And a great sense of humor too. -DESCRIBE YOUR IDEAL FIRST DATE WITH YOUR MATCH: I think a great first date would be something with no pressure, maybe something like bowling or a carnival? And just grabbing something for dinner on the go, keeping it casual? And maybe end it with a stroll down the beach maybe? -FINALLY, IF YOU COULD GO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD FOR 1 WEEK, WHERE WOULD YOU GO? I don’t need to travel all that far, honestly, I’d be happy with a trip to Disney World. If we’re talking another country though, I’ve always wanted to visit Italy.

--THE BOSS-- “All I do is win, win no matter what. Got money on my mind, I can never get enough.”

YOU ARE MATCHED WITH: [The Peter Pan] SKELETON BLURB: You’ve worked hard to get where you’re at and continue to do so. You’re successful and driven by your achievements, building from the ground up and determined to maintain lasting success, long after you retire one day. Whether your employees actually like you or not matters very little to you--or at least that’s the persona you’ve given off After all, you didn’t get where you were by being everyone’s bestie. Sometimes, however, you’ve wanted a little more; to not be the glaringly obvious perpetual bachelor at functions. Being a pro at juggling, how hard could adding a relationship into the mix be? Even if it would seem that this experiment is the only way for you to actually get into one...

-TELL US 3 OF YOUR POSITIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS: I’m ambitious, I’m passionate, and I’m charismatic -TELL US 3 OF YOUR NEGATIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS: If you talk to any of my ex-wives they’d say things like I’m absent, I’m a workaholic, I’m arrogant, I’ve gotten a bastard quite a few times. But as I don’t really think those truly count, I’m going with my actual personality traits: I get tunnel-vision very easily, I can be argumentative, and I’m a perfectionist -ARE YOU CURRENTLY EMPLOYED? IF SO, WHAT DO YOU DO? CEO of Titan Inc. -WHEREABOUTS IN PORTLAND ARE YOU LIVING? Forest Park -DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A PEOPLE PERSON? Of course. I wouldn’t be where I am today if I wasn’t a people person. -DO YOU ENJOY ANIMALS/PETS? Not particularly. But I’m sure that more stems from the fact that I work long hours and can’t really take care of them. -IF YOU AREN’T ALREADY, DO YOU SEE YOURSELF BECOMING A PARENT SOMEDAY? I’m already a parent, my daughter Sofia is 20. I don’t think that at my age I really want to go through everything again.  If I were to have a kid this year, I would be 64 when they move out of the house, and I don’t think that sounds ideal for anyone. -WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO FOR FUN? I don’t really get much time off, I find that I’m working more often than not. If I do somehow manage to have a free night, I have a tendency to go to fundraisers around the city, see the symphony, or read a book. Then I guess if you have to say that I have a hobby, I do have a yoga instructor who comes to my office three times a week. -WHAT 5 TRAITS OR CHARACTERISTICS ARE MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU IN A ROMANTIC PARTNER?

Not Clingy

Understands that I will be working long hours

Handles themselves well at social events

Is not a frivolous spender

Must be team Star Wars and not Star Trek

-DESCRIBE YOUR IDEAL FIRST DATE WITH YOUR MATCH:   I think that meeting for lunch would be a good start. Middle of the day, not a lot of pressure, and it shouldn’t interfere too much with my schedule. -FINALLY, IF YOU COULD GO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD FOR 1 WEEK, WHERE WOULD YOU GO? New Zealand.  I’ve been before on business, but I want to eventually make time to go on the Lord of the Rings tour.

--THE OLD FLAME-- “In another life I would be your girl, we’d keep all our promises--be us against the world.”

YOU ARE MATCHED WITH: [The Ex] SKELETON BLURB: You are no stranger to serious relationships. In fact you once had a long and meaningful relationship in the past and were very in love at one point. You, however, ended the relationship and you knew the break-up cut deeply for your ex. Although you had some lingering feelings for some time after, eventually, you moved on with your life seeking distractions, dabbling in hobbies and casually dating others for some time. It was nice for a while but lately you’ve wanted to take a plunge back into serious dating again. Simultaneously, you have been buckling down on your work life. Learning of Matched couldn’t have come at a better time and after signing up and carefully selecting your answers in the interview process, you have been selected. Unbeknownst to you, the Matched algorithm has you paired with your old love.

RP CONNECTIONS: The Boss & The Perfectionist

--Interview Questions & Answers--

-TELL US 3 OF YOUR POSITIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS: i like to think I have a pretty good sense of humor. I’m all about working the crowd and getting people to laugh especially if I know they’re having a crappy day which I almost always know. I’m pretty intuitive like that. Oh that’s another trait! I’m going to cheat and include that with the funny trait. I’m creative! My mom would always joke that I can make a home out of a van and now that that’s an actual thing, look who’s laughing! I’m compassionate. It’s always weird to say this about myself because I don’t want to sound like I’m stroking my ego. I guess this ties in with my intuition. I’m usually very in tune with mine and other’s feelings so I try my best to do right by everyone. -TELL US 3 OF YOUR NEGATIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS: I’m scattered brained. For someone who prides herself on being so neat, I truly live in mental chaos. You do not want to know what goes on in that mind of mine. Unless of course you’re my match then haaayyy. So the funny thing? I guess it can be a negative too. I’m so non-confrontational that I tend to turn everything into a joke. I’ve been working on that more now but I was a nightmare in my younger years. I’m notoriously late for like…everything. Fashionably late, of course. -ARE YOU CURRENTLY EMPLOYED? IF SO, WHAT DO YOU DO? I am! I’m an interior designer which is fancy for I get the keys to your house and splash color all over it.  My Tik Tok has over a million followers now after I turned a a few school buses into actual homes! So business is finally booming after being stuck for a couple of years. Follow me at talidesignsurabode! -WHEREABOUTS IN PORTLAND ARE YOU LIVING? Goose Hollow. I just closed on an apartment there and I’m really excited about living in my own space and not in my office. long story. -DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A PEOPLE PERSON? absolutely. In this industry you sort of have to be you know? -DO YOU ENJOY ANIMALS/PETS? I do and I wish I could have 9 dogs and all but I can barely keep a fish alive. I’m constantly running around but that doesn’t mean I’m not ready now. Don’t make me get soft but the idea of just hanging out in front of a fireplace with a couple of fur babies and bae sounds really nice right about now. -IF YOU AREN’T ALREADY, DO YOU SEE YOURSELF BECOMING A PARENT SOMEDAY? This was a sensitive topic for me once upon a time. I wasn’t sure I’d ever be a good mom because well, lots of personal reasons. However, that’s changed drastically. I guess you can say I have baby fever or just kid fever in general. I’d love to be a mother someday. -WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO FOR FUN? Paint. Not on walls but actual canvas. My Etsy shop gets little love from me lately but I miss painting so much. Also, good ol’ Karaoke and eating. I am your number 1 foodie. -WHAT 5 TRAITS OR CHARACTERISTICS ARE MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU IN A ROMANTIC PARTNER?

Charitable

Good sense of humor

Kind

Loves kids

Wants to settle down.

-DESCRIBE YOUR IDEAL FIRST DATE WITH YOUR MATCH: Anything that gives us the chance to talk. Movies and even public dinners are just too much sometimes, you know? At least for a first date. This is probably going to make me sound like a Hallmark movie fan but for the season? I’d say going out to pick a tree or ornament making? Like, one of those cute pottery classes? Or we can make a class of our own and cause a giant mess. -FINALLY, IF YOU COULD GO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD FOR 1 WEEK, WHERE WOULD YOU GO? Greece because come on, it’s gorgeous and it’s always been on my list. Maybe someday.

–THE ROMANTIC– “I want to know what love is, I want you to show me. I want to feel what love is, I know you can show me .“

YOU ARE MATCHED WITH: [The Town Gossip] SKELETON BLURB: You grew up the quintessential romantic, drinking up Disney movies Hallmark films and fluffy fairy tales--genuinely believing in happily ever afters for those who truly desire it. And you desire it, deeply. Even though that special someone hasn’t stumbled into your job or whisked you off the dance floor at a club, you aren’t deterred from finding love. You’re willing to try almost anything in order to find that special someone, even signing up for the brand new app, Matched. Others feel like you’re being too idealistic and fantastical, and need to be more pragmatic and shift your efforts in searching for a healthy and lasting relationship. You, however, think that Matched will be the perfect solution to forging the exact path you want.

-TELL US 3 OF YOUR POSITIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS: I’m punctual! Punctuality is very important to me. My father always advised me that to get ahead of the game, one must arriver before the others. I’m loyal to all my friends and family. Basically, if you mess with them, you’re messing with one hothead woman. I’m honest. I will always tell you the truth and I’m very bad at lying anyway. Also, I dislike liars. Why not be straight with people? -TELL US 3 OF YOUR NEGATIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS: I tend to hold grudges and trust me it’s not something I am proud of.

--THE PARENT-- “We never know the love of a parent until we become a parent ourselves.“

YOU ARE MATCHED WITH: [The Athlete] SKELETON BLURB: The only lasting good to come out of your last serious relationship was your child(ren). Being a single parent and co-parenting has its share of challenges, but your competitive spirit--particularly when it comes to your ex--skewed reasonable thought and led to your hasty, reckless decision to dive into a new relationship by way of Matched. Although you harbor some regret for your action, namely for your child, you’re now determined to be the better with a relationship than your ex and commit to making this work.

--THE HAVEN-- “I don’t regret this life I chose for me, but these places and these faces are getting old. So I’m going home.“

YOU ARE MATCHED WITH: [The Heir] SKELETON BLURB: You have always had a big heart for practically everyone. Being a giving soul, you haven’t been really cared for by someone else who wasn’t related to you. Deep down you know you deserve receiving the love you give others; you want it, but haven’t carved out the time to be a little selfish in seeking it. A loved one of yours signed you up for Matched and only told you after the fact. And although you’ve been upset with them for it, you are secretly intrigued by what might happen.

–THE HEIR– “Cause another scene, sell a magazine. Catch another flash; losing who you are, going too far to ever get back.“

YOU ARE MATCHED WITH: [The Haven] SKELETON BLURB: From an early age you’ve been groomed for succeeding your parent(s) someday. Poised and dutiful as you’ve been, just once you would like to do something unexpected and for yourself. Tempted by its advertisements, and knowing that you’ll be expected to marry one day anyway, you went ahead and signed yourself up on Matched under a pseudonym to lessen the chances of being instantly, or quickly recognized. You’ve recently made Portland a 2nd home and are trying hard to be something of an ordinary person. You’re sure that the truth will come out sooner or later but until then, you want to enjoy as much of this matchmaking process as you can.

–Interview Questions & Answers–

-TELL US 3 OF YOUR POSITIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS: I would say that I’m multi-talented, thoughtful, and kind. -TELL US 3 OF YOUR NEGATIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS: Although I don’t always consider it a negative trait, I can be assertive which sometimes comes off as aggressive or bossy, especially in a professional setting. I’m also rather opinionated which, again, is an arguable negative trait. And when I’ve been wronged, I can be very vindictive. I suppose a more common negative trait would be that I am materialistic. I like to own nice things. -ARE YOU CURRENTLY EMPLOYED? IF SO, WHAT DO YOU DO? I’m a general consultant, currently looking to make some investments and improvements to locations around Portland. -WHEREABOUTS IN PORTLAND ARE YOU LIVING? Forest Park. -DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A PEOPLE PERSON? Certainly. As much as I don’t mind some time to myself, I’d say I’m extremely extroverted. -DO YOU ENJOY ANIMALS/PETS? Animals are great! I had a couple of dogs growing up. Right now, I’ve got a cat and a couple of horses. -IF YOU AREN’T ALREADY, DO YOU SEE YOURSELF BECOMING A PARENT SOMEDAY? Perhaps one day, but not in the immediate future. -WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO FOR FUN? I like both the typical, and the atypical. From bowling and billiards, to rafting and glider piloting; from poker games to large venue concerts to cliff diving. -WHAT 5 TRAITS OR CHARACTERISTICS ARE MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU IN A ROMANTIC PARTNER? A good sense of humor, a solid balance on their life, an open-minded sense of judgement, trustworthiness, and some sense of adventure. -DESCRIBE YOUR IDEAL FIRST DATE WITH YOUR MATCH: I don’t mind the quiet nights in, but doing something memorable, and a little less cliche appeals to me more for a first date. -FINALLY, IF YOU COULD GO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD FOR 1 WEEK, WHERE WOULD YOU GO? I’ve done some traveling already, but among a few other places I’d like to go hot air ballooning in Cappadocia, and swim around the Marble Caves in Chile.

–THE OPPORTUNIST– “Work smarter, not harder.“

YOU ARE MATCHED WITH: [The Believer] SKELETON BLURB: You and hard work have not gone well together for most of your life. A lot has come easy to you, whether it’s been in the academic world, or extracurricular activities in your youth. When challenges started to arise on a more frequent basis, you internally panicked and began seeking shortcuts in order to keep succeeding. This pattern deeply shaped who you are today. A ‘get rich quick’ agenda quickly attracts you and in today’s world, that has seemingly worked out for social media influencers. Now being one yourself, you’ve garnered a following but have sought an even greater boost to not only increase your presence online but now have your eye on Matched to give you a huge leg up. Prizes + moments to document with an arranged spouse = an influencer gold mine.

–Interview Questions & Answers–

-TELL US 3 OF YOUR POSITIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS: I’m pretty ambitious. I mean, I do run my own vlog and I am an activist. I am also determined and passionate- you kind of have to be to get shit done when you’re an activist. -TELL US 3 OF YOUR NEGATIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS: I’m a bit greedy when it comes to things I want. Not always material things. I’m definitely impatient. I know that’s a contradiction when it comes to activism and progress which is usually slow. And I have a bit of an ego. If I didn’t, I couldn’t put my videos up all the time. -ARE YOU CURRENTLY EMPLOYED? IF SO, WHAT DO YOU DO? I have a YouTube channel (and an Instagram to go with it) and I help with a LGBTQIA+ organization here in Portland. -WHEREABOUTS IN PORTLAND ARE YOU LIVING? Goose Hollow -DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A PEOPLE PERSON? I kind of have to be! How else will I connect with my subscribers and people in the community? -DO YOU ENJOY ANIMALS/PETS? Yeah, animals are great. I don’t own any because they’re a lot of work, but that doesn’t mean I dislike them. -IF YOU AREN’T ALREADY, DO YOU SEE YOURSELF BECOMING A PARENT SOMEDAY? Ha, probably not. I can’t really see myself as a dad. But who knows. I could change my mind in like ten years. -WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO FOR FUN? I go to bars and clubs around town. Any place I can get a good cocktail is great. And I like dancing. I also like going to drag shows. I have a lot of friends in that scene. When I want a chill night, I’ll go to a movie or order a pizza and watch Netfix. -WHAT 5 TRAITS OR CHARACTERISTICS ARE MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU IN A ROMANTIC PARTNER? 1) Gotta be hot. I’m pretty shallow and I’m not afraid to say it. 2) Spontaneous! I like to go out and have fun, but I don’t like to plan. 3) Extroverted. I need someone who can go out with me and keep up. 4) Open minded. Obviously. 5) Not clingy. I can’t be with this person 24/7. -DESCRIBE YOUR IDEAL FIRST DATE WITH YOUR MATCH: Honestly, let’s just go out and have fun and see where the night takes us. -FINALLY, IF YOU COULD GO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD FOR 1 WEEK, WHERE WOULD YOU GO? I want to see so many places. I can’t just pick one.

--THE REBEL ROYAL-- “And we'll never be royals, it don't run in our blood. That kind of luxe just ain't for us, we crave a different kind of buzz...“

YOU ARE MATCHED WITH: [The Devout] SKELETON BLURB: You are of royal/noble blood. You’re expected to marry someone of equal or similar peerage to you, or someone who meets the approval of your family. To the disappointment of your family, however, you have a bit of a habit to stray from the long-standing traditions of your family. With the pressure to marry bearing down on you more and more, and no potential suitors in the noble circles who’ve interested you, you have contemplated a more daring move--literally--and recently acted on it, moving to the U.S. and seeking love and adventure there as well. It was a risk in and of itself but a rapid dive into married life like what’s offered through Matched would also potentially further secure your stay. Whether you decide to divulge your past and your present motives to your future spouse remains to be seen but as long as you’re able to maintain your freedom, you believe you’ll be happier than your old life.
