After my conversation with R. (and three of our three married or engaged friends) about how everyone’s profiles on Match say the same things, I saw this online profile word cloud from Matt on the Plenty of Fish blog.

Women’s interests word cloud

Men’s interests word cloud

Matt analyzes it a bit, and while the results aren’t entirely suprising (women’s listed interests indicate bonds, men’s interests are more activity-based), I always find it fascinating how that comes through in something like the interests section of an online dating profile. He did find some gems, though, such as that men list cooking more than women.
