Exploring This Week’s Daily ORs at The Library
Every day, members of The Library answer a simple but powerful question: one choice, two options — which speaks more to you?
We call these the Daily ORs. They’re not just icebreakers; they’re windows into how we think, feel, and relate to others. At The Library, we use your answers to gently guide you toward Matches who share your worldview — or who might thoughtfully challenge it.
This week’s Daily ORs explore freedom, creativity, emotion, and exploration. Let’s take a closer look at what your answers might say about you — and what they could reveal about the people you connect with.
🧠 Philosophy and Psychology
Individual freedom first OR Collective good first
Do you tend to value personal liberty and independence, or do you see strength in community and shared responsibility? This OR taps into your ethical compass and how you believe the world should work — something foundational in both online dating and online friendship.
🎨 Arts and Recreation
Creating for self OR Creating for others
Are you more introspective in your creativity, or do you thrive on connection and collaboration? Whether you’re painting in solitude or performing for an audience, this choice reflects your emotional motivations — and how you share yourself with the world.
📚 Literature
Value emotional connections in stories OR Appreciate intellectual challenges in books
This literary preference can hint at how you relate to others. Are you drawn to deep empathy and character exploration, or do you prefer big ideas and mental puzzles? Your answer may reflect how you connect emotionally — and what kind of conversations you enjoy.
📍 Place
Cosy village pubs OR Trendy urban bars
This OR offers a glimpse into your social style and sensory preferences. Do you lean toward comforting, familiar spaces — or are you drawn to vibrant, modern scenes? Where you feel most at home often mirrors the kind of connections you seek.
🍲 Food and Drink
Exotic spices OR Simple seasoning
This flavourful OR speaks to curiosity and comfort. A love for spices may signal openness to new experiences and boldness, while simpler tastes often reflect appreciation for tradition and mindfulness. Even a meal says something about who we are.
🤖 Technology
Automation is progress OR Automation is a threat
Your views on tech reveal your optimism, skepticism, or pragmatism about the future. This OR gives insight into how you handle change, adapt to modern life, and envision the role of innovation in your day-to-day.
🌍 History and Geography
Mapping the world OR Losing yourself in it
Structured explorer or spontaneous wanderer? This OR speaks to your pace in life — and your willingness to plan vs. surrender to the journey. It’s a beautiful metaphor for how we experience relationships, too.
Why These ORs Matter for Matching
At The Library, we don’t rely on photos, swipes, or algorithms based on superficial preferences. Instead, we listen to what really matters: how you think, what you feel, and what your choices reveal about the life you want to live.
Whether you’re here for online dating or online friendship, the Daily ORs offer small but meaningful ways to express who you are — and discover others doing the same.
