Sidekick Matchmaking

_{Thanks linkhyrule5 for suggesting this.}

Post your request for Sidekicks or your desire to be a sidekick in the comment section below.

Send a personal message to your potential match to start communicating instead of replying in the thread, to save space and avoid biases, besides privacy.

[edit] Mathias Zamman suggests some questions:

Questions for both Heroes and Sidekicks (and Dragons, etc.)

Post a short description of yourself: personality, skills, general goals.
Where do you live?
How do you see the contact between the two of you going?
What you require in your counterpart: This can be a bit vague but it might be too hard to verbalize for some people

Questions for Heroes:

What is your goal?
Why are you a Hero?
Why do you require a Sidekick?
What specific tasks would a Sidekick perform for you?
What qualities would you not want in a Sidekick?

Questions for Sidekicks:

What sort of goals are you looking for?
Why are you Sidekick material?
Why do you require a Hero?
What sort of tasks could you do for a Hero?
What qualities don't you want in a Hero?

I'm going to post about this on an open thread later, but meanwhile I think it might be useful here.

I made a ZeeMap for LessWrong just yesterday: https://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=1323143

A ZeeMap is a good way of finding people that share an interest living nearby. You add your location and contact information, and hope someone living near you sees it.

It seems that the visibility of such a post is a large factor in how effectively it fulfills its purpose. In my opinion, it warrants a discussion post.

I was just trying to figure out, short of asking in a post or an open thread, how many enthusiastic LessWrong users live in Tampa, Florida. Apparently Michael Vassar briefly stopped in Tampa a few years ago, and there was a meetup, but the chapter never began to meet regularly.
