After becoming single, I joined an online dating site. After a year of perusing profiles and meeting men for coffee, staying single is starting to look better and better to me. But I’ve stayed on the site, in part for the pure enjoyment of reading what men choose to say about themselves when trying to attract a partner. For instance?

Here are a few of my favorite lines from men’s online dating profiles:

I am romantic, passionate and caring, with just the right amount of masculinity.

I like to take hikes and catch frogs.

I have very little experience with sex. Bondage is okay.

I have achieved my life-long dream of seeing the total solar eclipse in Wyoming.

It’s all about the endorphins.

I have wealth and a doctoral degree and I want to find my new soulmate.

I am not like all the rest.

At 20, my great-grandfather plotted to kill the Czar.

I am mindful that random chance animates the universe.

I have a deep affection for fresh ground coffee.

I want butterflies!
