The Worst Possible Online Dating Profile
A writer recently created a fictitious and utterly horrible dating profile as an experiment. The goal was to create a persona so offensive—racist, manipulative, shallow, cruel, and annoying—that no man would consider dating her. For instance, on typical Friday night this fictitious 25-year-old woman from California loves "knocking the cups out of homeless people's hands." Here's her self-summary: "I'm a Goddess and I do ME!"
But even this worst possible dating profile still received over 150 interested men—likely because the profile picture was of an attractive young woman.
