OKCupid has a portion of your profile that says “You should message me if..” Most people have “rules” in this section, as I once did. Others just basically say “You like what you have read, and you yourself are awesome.”
While browsing, I came across a person who said the following in his “You should message me if..“:
“You can solve this problem: (4(5+3))+8 = ?
Wrong answers will be ignored because intelligence is the sexiest thing about a woman ;-)”
First and foremost, I came across it because it was on the “recently updated” list. The word intelligence was italicized, meaning that it was what was changed. So, I am pretty sure beforehand, he had spelled intelligence wrong.
I would also like to point out that I most certainly can solve this math problem, but refused to, considering myself exempt as I wasn’t actually interested in this guy.
I did, however, message him. I asked why being able to solve a math problem would automatically make someone intelligent in his eyes. Can people not be intelligent in other ways?
He viewed my profile – but did not respond. I sent him another message that basically said “Seriously.. I want to know.” And, still no dice.
So – we will never know. But, brush up on your math skills if you want to find a “keeper.” 😉
My rules were mostly grammatical. Otherwise, I just listed suggestions, like if you enjoy dancing or drink hot tea or think glasses are sexy. But they weren’t requirements.
