I've been reading Craig's List personals lately, mostly because everyone in the office seems to find them so interesting, and partly because a friend suggested I do. Today I decided to do a men and women comparison. The men seeking women seem to either include a long list about the man and a short list about what he's looking for (beautiful, confident, young, smart, funny...), or something defiant and different that seeks to introduce the guy without actually saying anything about him. The women seeking men are the opposite, as most are ridiculously long lists of characteristics of the "perfect man" created by women who have dated before and want a long-term relationship or a marriage now.
In that respect, it would seem that it's up to the woman to look and pick because the men seem fairly non-picky in just describing themselves. There are also far less personals written by woman than by men, meaning the men expect the women to pick but they're not doing a good job at it. It's a wonder, really, that anyone gets together.
