10 Words To Take Off Your Online Dating Profile ASAP
by Lauren Passell on August 21, 2012
I think I’m all aboard for abolishing these words from our online dating vernaculars:
1. Moist.
2. YOLO (“You Only Live Once”).
3. Hoodrat/Thug.
4. Fantabulous.
5. Seductive.
6. Luv/Werd.
7. Horny.
8. Expl*t!ve$.
9. Depressed.
10. Picky.
I would also add the word “Nickelback” (in any complimentary form) and anything misspelled or in ALL CAPS.
Are any of these words on your profile? I was pretty sure it was a universal understanding that nobody should ever use the word “moist”, but my question is: why is the M word on your profile, anyway? Hold that thought — I don’t want to know.
