Someone pointed out the work that has been done on pairing and the "stable marriage problem", and I find that most of this work has already been done. Sorry about that; I really had no idea. I guess that re-inventing the wheel is the pitfall of not being aware of what has already been done. I guess that my main question now is whether the "Mutual favorite method, with utility-based paradox resolution" has already been proposed, or anything very similar.
