The idea of a Fishbowl minder has come up many times since the start of this bowl and there have been a couple one-off exchanges of burners across various threads. So, let’s makes this a thing. In a comment below, write a brief profile of yourself and include a burner. This leaves it open for whoever is interested in the other to contact you. You can choose to include as much info as you want or even your name, but you must share at least the below.
Gender
Age
City you’re based out of
Ethnicity
Height
Religious affiliations (this is open to interpretation. Can be sect, practicing or not, etc.)
Fun fact
Partner preferences/dealbreakers (what is something you’re definitely not okay with?)
Burner
When you find a profile you’re interested in, send an email to their burner with a brief intro/profile of yourself and your name, exchange pictures and numbers, and I think y’all know where to take it from there... bismillah! Good luck and most importantly, have fun!
PS - if anyone does hit it off, I expect an invite to the wedding festivities ;-)
Haha I'll start this out:
Gender:F
Age:24
City:Chicago
Height:5'3
Sect:Sunni and practicing
Fun fact:love trying out new adventure thrills like hanggliding, skydiving, etc.
Partner pref: someone religious and/or wants to grow in their deen but with a good balance between deen and dunya, also think I'd prefer to stay around the area I'm in but guess that depends on the situation and can change

I have heard a lot from people that it’s the character that matters and not the looks. I agree with that too but for some reason I just can’t have any conversation unless I know how that person looks (not trying to differentiate here based on the looks or something but just in general). Is it normal or it’s just me?
A1- didn’t realize we had aunties on here 👀👵🏽
Agree, D1. Feel like that's something both people have to share with one another once you start speaking
Agreed D1. While I believe character is more important, you have to be realistic.
In my experience, I've found that I find a person more attractive physically after getting to know them, assuming we get along.
But if it's a hard no looks-wise, that may always be a factor, even after you get to know them, so maybe be best to cut ties (as nice as possible) early while there's less emotion.
