@EveryoneWhoWasTalkingAboutFitzsOpinionOfMatchmaking Nobody in the Lost Cities actively wants to be a bad match (unless Keefe does in order to bother his dad). Even Sophie doesn't want to. This is actually a really good way for Fitz to overcome a big thing in life. Now, Fitz's family has always ben very respected and no one has ever been a bad match. Fitz doesn't want to be the one to bring shame. It doesn't seem like he really care about being a bad match except for the fact that it will strongly affect his parents and Biana. The bad match idea seems to be the device SWM is using to show Fitz developing. They were kinda rushing, so now they are stepping back and Fitz can think over it all and talk to Biana about it and between the two of them he'll overcome this. With Sokeefe, Keefe would be getting over anything, he would have zero development to happen because he doens't seem to care about matchmaking and doesn't care how his dad looks.

Also, Fitz does not only care about himself. Have you even read the books? In the first book he shows how much he cares about Sophie at her planting (which is in the first book timeline, even if it isn't a part of the literally story) and show it again when he comes to find her, and again when he sits next to her everyday trying to keep her from fading. In the second book he show how much he cares about his dad, And the third it goes back to Sophie. Fourth he runs away with her and is banished and risks his life with the electrocuted (is that how you spell it?) gadget. Fifth he's upsetness over Keefe shows his feelings for Keefe. In the sixth he spends time showing feelings for Biana particularly when she is injured. In the seventh he's back at Sophie. In the eighth he shows the way he feels about not harming his family (particularly their public appearence), along with some of how he feels about Sophie.

No matter what,
