In one exemplary implementation, the system and methods may store predetermined general attribute descriptors reflecting attributes of users generaHy, receive personal attribute descriptors selected from the predetermined general attribute descriptors as corresponding to attributes of a first user and a second user, receive a rating associated with each received personal attribute descriptor, compare at least one personal attribute descriptor associated with the first user with at least one personal attribute 10 descriptor associated with the second user to determine a descriptor match, and calculate a match score based on the determined descriptor match and the received ratings. In addition, first and second display points may be displayed and may be separated by a one-dimensional display distance that is a function of the calculated match score,(S210) Collect User Profile Data I ,(S220) Collect Personal Attribute Descriptor Information (S230) Match Personal Attribute Descriptors (S240) Calculate Final Match Score I ,(S250) Generate Attribute Proximity Display Fig. 2
