Every corporate dot dating site provides you with a text field for entering a 'long' description of yourself the indexing, searching and ultimate reading of which is supposed to be superior to the 'old-fashioned' ways in which people used to meet each other.
I have found over the years that it is damn hard at best to meet people with these things. There are so many qualities that just don't come across in spoken words, much less written ones.
How many people do you meet at a party for example by exchanging what amounts to a knowing glance? I can think of several different times in my life when I just looked at a woman and somehow we knew something was going to happen because of the way she was simultaneously looking at me. And I don't just mean fucking here.
Now what is the written equivalent of that?
