Just _please_ tell me you didn’t include the one I took of you that time when we … nah, you’d never show anyone else that one.

I think it’s okay. It was from behind. 😛

I don’t think Match vets user profiles by having an actual human being read them; they just run them through some computer program. Check out [this profile](http://www.match.com/profile/showprofile.aspx?lid=24&RN=4&PI=2&TP=MWD&UID=m9a8EsE37mH65HbIoj5CaA%3d%3d&Handle=kingofthecastle8&DO=0) I ran across the other day:

> I am looking for a traditional woman – that is, a woman that knows her place and how to submit to her man; A woman that cooks my meals, cleans and maintains my home, cleans the laundry, and takes care of my manly needs whenever I desire; A woman that will never push my hand away when I feel like grabbing your body; A woman that can be disciplined, physically when necessary, and given guidance when she gets out of line. She will be a friend, partner, and sexual slave at the same time; she will be an extension of myself. I will value your ideas and opinions, but I am the man of the house and have the final say in my home.

My conclusions: Match will post _any_ profile, as long as it doens’t fun afoul of their little filter, and that profile has _got_ to be a joke. (Right? Right?)

If I had to guess, I’d say [minotaurus](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=372655) is on the dating circuit.
