I have a single friend who is a devotee of Match.com. To date, she has yet to meet the “man of her dreams” but she has had plenty of applicants. For those of you who met your mates using more old fashioned means — chance encounters, sitting next to each other in class, or picking them up in a bar — you may be surprised to find that many prospective online suitors tend to be less than truthful in their profile descriptions. My friend says that based on her experience, she has developed her own translation for the most common descriptions that she runs across. For example, height listings below six feet are aspirational rather than actual, “athletic” means likes to watch sports on TV, “enjoys fine wine” equates to drinks anything that doesn’t come in a box, and don’t even get her started on the accuracy of profile pictures.
