http://www.dooce.com/ - "Having Dated Walking Red Flags"
My sister sent me this link (it's the September 15th entry I'm referring to btw) and it mentioned how a blog about relationship dealbreakers is a great way to spice up your material. Now, I won't go into detail about what mine are but this tip is absolutely dead-on (just look at the comments for evidence)
As I wrote before, knowing someone's dislikes are definitely a great way to get to know more about a person. What would be funny and interesting to see is a social networking sites that comes up with more creative categories in the 'about me' section outside of the typical 'interests'. I know I freeze when people just ask me what my 'hobbies' are but if they're like "What's your favorite reality show?" I can pop out my completely embarassing response, "Top Model" just like that.
Personally, I'd rather see "favorite meal of the day", "relationship dealbreakers", "favorite childhood tv show", etc. Those are really what make a person unique and lets face it, I'm so tired of people putting in their interests that the like 'having fun'. ("OMG. look! ___ is interested in having fun too?! God, finally someone who isn't interested 'having an absolutely miserable time'!")
And it'd be cool to meet another girl who also can't date a guy who wears gold chains.
