I finally worked up the nerve to post a profile and picture on an online dating site. Spent half the day editing my profile and taking the stupid quizzes they use to match you up. Finally got it all acceptable, then I notice at the bottom it says this:
Compared to others, she is:
Less loving
More independentWell, the independent part I can accept, but "less loving"? That's an awful, awful thing to put on somebody's page. And it happens to correspond pretty closely to one of my deepest fears about myself and dating in general... that I'm just not loving enough.
It's cut me to the quick. Heck, why don't they just put "She's too fat" or "She'll never find love" or maybe just "Men, run away"?
I guess I have to either delete it, or go back through the stupid test (hundreds of questions) and re-answer every one that seems like it might have caused that to show up.
