There must be an opening somewhere for a treatise or dissertation on the pathology of Match.com profiles. I mean, what sort of default world does one live in where one feels it necessary to state that one is looking for a woman who is 'clean'? Isn't personal cleanliness the default? Perhaps I'm reading the request incorrectly - maybe he is trying to exclude active drug users? But again, what is this man's default world?
And he doesn't stop with 'clean.' Reading between the lines of Exhibit D in our continuing series (set forth below) suggests to me a man who neither trusts nor particularly likes women - and to the extent there is a woman around? He better be her sole damn focus (ok, that just led to a 'Love Actually' flashback - hate, hate, hate). Anyway, without further delay, I present Exhibit D:
"I seek a confidant, spontaneous woman with an active, passionate drive and desire to meet her romantic match. She must be clean, healthy and dependable and has a definite set of life goals. No Drama Please. Couch potatoes, gold diggers and sleep arounds need not apply. I've been in solid relationships and seek same, with an added twist of SPICE (it only gets better with age) . I do have a preference for someone who is over her past realtionships, is serious as I am about a relationship and has the ability to meet and date and explore life. It's hard to develop a relationship when you can't get a baby sitter and have to cancel every weekend. Are you whom I Seek ?"
Um, no.
But maybe I misinterpret?

when you start reading these things carefully, you begin to wonder if men and women should interact at all.
