OK Cupid
There was something unconsciously stupid in someone's OKC profile I read the other day that I considered mocking here (without attribution, of course). But I decided that was unkind, even if I did it without naming names.
But this is too rich, and I feel just fine mocking OK Cupid itself.
So, an otherwise very appealing woman says in her profile, "I'm allergic to cats, so that's why I put that I don't like cats in my profile. I think they sense my allergies because cats like to follow me around!" Her profile, in the section on pets, does in fact say "Dislikes cats".
What does the "staff robot" suggest in showing me this profile?
Out of all the things we share that it could have picked, it announces
"I think you both like cats."
I'm glad this service is free...
