The Beatles said “all you need is love,” but they are notorious liars. What you really need is someone who truly matches your freak. That is, someone whose indescribable weirdness is compatible with your own. It’s the sort of thing you can’t fake. Freak just is.

As for origins of the “match your freak” concept, the phrase comes from Tinashe’s tune, “Nasty.”

Paul L’astname and Jenna Maroney from 30 Rock fit the description almost too well.
