Dating Personals: Put Your Best First

In one very clever Will and Grace episode, Grace is searching for her own apartment, away from Will, so she can grow on her own (which fans know wasn’t going to happen…in that episode, anyway). She and Will peruse the classified section, looking at ads for houses, which Grace translates, humorously setting Will straight (ahem) on how the «charming fixer-upper» means the «rat-infested dump» (my examples, for lack of memory) and «close to transportation» means «train shakes house forty-two times a day.» Despite my horrific bastardization of what was an adeptly humorous scene, you get the idea: that ads–housing ads, help wanted ads, or dating personals ads–are often understandably written in euphemistic (good sounding) language…. Or can be. The idea is you’re selling something–in the case of dating personals, yourself–and so want to carefully posit the high points, the qualities and assets, instead of the liabilities and lack.

Finding Love through Dating Agencies

This is what your love says:

(i do not know what it is about you that closes and opens;
only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands

Well, this e.e. cummings love, but imagine how profound the connection must be. Imagine how glorious, not-of-this-earth wonderful to be spoken to in metaphor, as metaphor. Dating agencies. Dating agencies are the places to look, then for this love. Dating first, then love, of course. Oh, bliss. Oh, perfection. Oh, yes, thank you, Eros.

Photo Dating: the Better to See You With…

Like many of us, I have had my share of photo dating. And also like many of us, I have had more than I’d care to admit was my share of mismatches that is, the photos and the men didn’t match. The wedding groomsman in the tux, with the beautifully groomed profile (of face and head, not dating profile, that is) became a beer-bellied toothless guy with thinning hair evidently a well-meaning dude who was using a twenty year old photo. The studly, toned hunk in poolside trunks became a 400-pound truck driver who hadn’t seen sunlight for as many years as that photo was old. And the many pics of models, cowboys, weightlifters whom I didn’t even bother meeting we obviously cutouts of magazine dreams. Now, I know we all change, so I am not bashing the fact that Freddy Krueger is hairless when in his picture he was Samson. But I also know we have access to such inexpensive technology that an updated photo on one’s photo dating profile page is not asking for much. In fact, it is okay to expect an updated photo and honest answers about the photo, for it is that very picture that we visual people need to make decisions on before we get the best of all opportunities meeting in person, smelling their smells, observing their movements and gestures in real time.
