I'm sort of looking at it from the opposite angle - it seems pretty clear that you couldn't use every type of sidekick. Not everyone will work well with you, be interested in the same things, get along with you, etc. So I think that we would both agree that there's a "good fit" and "bad fit" space. The thing is, being unable to list any features of the "good fit" space, (or even features of the "bad fit" space, so that people can self filter) does not exactly inspire confidence in your self-knowledge/introspection skills, nor does it really prompt me to think that you've considered what you're trying to do in enough detail that you know what type of competencies you need to do that successfully (because if you had, you might have mentioned them.)
I am writing this before going to bed and have probably been rather blunt and unkind in my assumptions; the nicer side of this is that you probably have thought of some of the above, but just didn't the right mental provocations to put that stuff down.
File this under "could have been posted much better, but probably better posted than not posted." Hope it helps.
I guess seeing my chart with most of my goals and so on would give people a good idea of what a sidekick would be signing up for. Right now my main reason for not posting any particular reason is no longer that I don't think I should, I do, you have convinced me. Instead it is fear that no one else almost posted in this topic. I was expecting some 5 or 6 people who wanted sidekicks and 5 or 6 who wanted to be sidekicks. Also I got a personal message from a potential sidekick, and we are inquiring into that. Most of all I wanted to encourage other people (heros, dragons, sidekicks etc...) to post here, or create a different forum where this could be posted. It would be a waste if only one or two sidekick relations were created out of Swimmer963 post.
I think in most cases a local search strategy is more effective than using a global forum like LW. There are a lot of benefits that come from being in the same city as the person with whom one works.
