This article by Cracked.com talks about several common descriptive things that are often found in peoples profiles and give their "translation" of what they actually mean. The translations are pretty funny and from my experiences a lot are accurate. For example when someone says "I'm new to this whole online dating thing" the translation is - "No, I'm not". The majority of the time from what I've seen, people saying they're are new to online dating, means they have in the past and are actually just returning back to online dating in another attempt to find someone.
The funniest one that you should try to avoid is "I'm looking for that spark"... Translation - "I'm looking for a man who's 6'4", makes six figures, has a chiseled jaw and washboard abs, is a hopeless romantic, has a great sense of humour and makes me laugh every day, is intelligent and well-read, loves to travel, will buy me flowers and open doors for me, is sensitive and emotionally available, loves kids, loves pets volunteers, for charities, is a handyman, is great in bed, shares my political beliefs, shares my faith, matches my astrological sign, will not be afraid to tell me he loves me, gets along with my family, will worship me, will spoon me, will always understand me... and actually exists". WOW!!! Good luck.
It's funny, but is their truth behind the translations? you decide.
