The last time I posted about this, I talked about the word “fun” and how it is such a bogus term used for what one enjoys doing. This time, I want to go over some of the commonalities found within the female profiles found on match.com. The following are things that I have noticed most, if not all, women post in their profiles.
1)They like to have fun.
Well, of course they do. But, more interestingly is the fact that they rarely say what fun actually is. I talked about this in greater detail in my previous post, so let’s move on to the next one.
2)They enjoy going out and staying home.
This is another one where they really say something without actually saying anything at all. So, what they are saying by this is, they enjoy everything. That is very misleading. I’m sure that when the work day is over, there is an activity that they will more times than not participate in. I guess they leave that part out to let the viewer determine what that activity is.
3)They are sports fans.
Why are all the female sports fans single? What character traits do they have that links sports to their inability to maintain a steady relationship? Typical guys want their significant others liking sports, so why are they still single?
4)They love to laugh.
Laughing seems to be another popular theme among online profiles. However, I feel that this is like the word “fun”, it should be understood, an unwritten rule. Laughter means enjoyment, parallel to pleasure, so it should go without saying that they like to laugh, everyone likes to laugh.
5)They are looking for kind, caring, loving guys.
And all the different similar words used to describe decency. Most will not include other characteristics that they are looking for in a partner. This leads me to believe that other than a decent person, they don’t really know what they want or they don’t really care. And given my list of rejections, I’m more inclined to believe it is the former of the two.
There was one more commonality that I noticed but was inclined not to include it in the list because these words did not show up as often as I expected, but was still pretty common. And that is their need to not play games. Yet, with such little original information in their profiles, they are playing a game, the game of Figure-Me-Out-On-Your-Own-If-I-Let-You.
With all of this being said, where does that leave us? In short, hit or miss, expect a lot of missing.
