My fellow single women and I shudder at the thought of finding a partner through an online dating profile.
Even though we perceive the pool as beneath us and presumably full of gamey, odd, and dodgy findings, we've nonetheless dipped a toe in.
Online dating services are flawed because, no matter how much space you have in a comment box to describe your awesomeness, you can't show who you are or get to know someone from what they've written, even if they've written a thorough profile.
Since we're not perfect, we frequently write, "I'm just an ordinary, flawed person.
Something gentle and accommodating. Who knows what those warts are? Do they exhibit murderous behavior.....
...Heinous deeds? Are those "flaws" snoring intolerance or something worse? Can an online dating profile's silence make someone want to live in a fallout shelter forever?
Yes, we like to show ourselves as slightly better than "just a down-to-earth kinda guy or girl," to appear humble and approachable.
What if we realize we're amazing vessels? Fabulous with a hint of average? Because I see myself as 90% the most amazing person you'll ever meet and 10% everything you'd never want in a woman.
