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.

Possible Preaching Angle:

Apparently, many of us are so desperate for relationship that we are willing to overlook major character flaws to be in one. What does this say about our hearts' longing for love?
