Once again I’m considering sprucing up my online dating profile on a couple of the Internet dating sites that I frequent. I’ve already covered the divorce thing here and I have decided to continue to leave that out of my base profile. Still it is hard to know what you really should include. I’ve been thinking about bringing up a bit of my medical history in that shortly after the arrival of my second child I paid a little visit to the doctor for some alterations. Don’t know if the ladies would be interested in this information or not. Seems like it might be hard to naturally work into an internet dating profile - I was thinking about the following headline:

OK, I know I have said that I am not here to bash anyone but sometimes you run across a line in an online dating profile that is impossible not to comment on (and that sometimes makes the whole internet dating search worthwhile). I found this gem on Saturday (yes, I was checking out online dating sites on Valentine’s day) and I just have to share it:

The most important thing xxx is looking for in a person is:

    * I want to find a man who wants to go all out in a relationship and have it all. No holes barred.I want to find someone who will be the most important person to me and me to him.

“no holes barred”…..finally a chance at some great aural sex!

Three out of four of the Internet Dating sites I’ve joined up with have used questions with multiple choice answers as determiners of my personality. I have to say that I struggle with selecting an appropriate choice because the answer I really want is not in the selection list.
Here is an example from OKCupid.com:

You’re in a relationship/marriage and feel that you and your mate aren’t having sex frequently enough. What do you do?

    * Talk to them about it
    * Try to spice things up. (Toys, fantasies, etc)
    * Do nothing, but hope things change naturally.
    * Cheat on them / Break up with them.

None of the four choices do it for me. I’d have liked to see a fifth choice:

    * Buy a bottle of Jose Cuervo.

You know - candy is dandy but liquor is quicker!

Here is another example:

Is a person who has had 100 sexual partners a bad person?

    * Yes.
    * No.
    * I don’t know.

In this case I found the answer choices adequate but the question simply didn’t have enough information to really judge the situation. It seems to me that there is a time element that must be considered. A person who is 90+ years old could arrive at this number and still be considered “good”. On the other hand an 18 year old girl on a Spring break weekend………
