I thought the same too, but I couldn't think of any decent wording for “open to more relationship partners (but not looking actively)”.

Perhaps the three options should be something like "Actively looking for new relationship partners", "Open to new relationship partners, but not actively looking" and "Not open to new relationship partners".

Do rule consequentialists simultaneously count both as consequentialists and deontologists?

Probably not, Consequentialism is fundamentally concerned with consequences (hence the name), which makes it and deontology mutually exclusive.

Excellent.

Probably not, Consequentialism is fundamentally concerned with consequences (hence the name), which makes it and deontology mutually exclusive.

So consequentialism be it (as I voted in the last two surveys).
