Opinion wanted - what is a soul mate?

I don't think they exist, because nobody can quantify what a "Soul" is & it's in the same category as ghosts - (yes people will say "essence of the person" - but then I ask them to quantify that ... etc & so forth (ad infinitum)

But I believe we have people we are a near perfect match for - if we could add up all of the people we have known - then add a tag to if you have found a soul-mate or not.

I'm sure I could run up the statistics to see how many people are required to meet to find a soul-mate (on average).

Let's say it's, 1 in 1million as a guess (most likely much lower) - taking into account 50% of the population is the same gender, that's down to 30 others, then 2/3 of those would be too old/young (down to 10)

So 10 others in the UK, 100's around the world (would be perfect for you), in reality I guess it's significantly more - just we live to romanticise with these things.

People all like to make our the person they are with is much better than they are, when in reality it's not the person - but the shared bond you have created over time which is so significant, but ultimately not specific to one person.

It's your best same sex mate who will listen to all your crap and satisfy you sexually but not in a gay way.
That's what my soul mate does.

It's not gay if you're the one giving.... So make sure you're a plug, not a socket!
 
A soul – in certain spiritual, philosophical, and psychological traditions – is the incorporeal essence of a person, living thing, or object.[1] Many philosophical and spiritual systems teach that only humans have souls, while others teach that all living things, and even inanimate objects (such as rivers), have souls. The latter belief is commonly called animism.[2] Soul can function as a synonym for spirit, mind or self;[3] scientific works, in particular, often consider 'soul' as a synonym for 'mind'.

This...

My girlfriend is my "soul mate"... We are on completely the same wave length, to the point where we don't have to say things in some instances, we just know what the other person is thinking. I go to work with her and go home with her, spending most of our time together (don't get me wrong, we have out time apart as well), however it never feels like a chore.
 
My wife is my soul mate.

Someone you can share anything with, no matter how easy/hard that may be.
Someone who accepts you for you and vice versa.
Someone who you just love spending time with.
Someone who you can sit and say nothing to - just enjoying their company!

Lots more, but that's how I knew my wife was my soul mate before I asked her to marry me.

I always think it's sad when someone has a soul mate that isn't their partner.
