Yes, according to OKCupid’s latest data batch, New Yorkers really like watching snarky mainstream TV, especially when it takes places smack dab in the Big Apple. Here are the top six words found in every person’s profile, organised by sex:
Men
30 Rock
Arrested Development
Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Bob Dylan
born and raised
my iPhone
Women
30 Rock
True Blood
Jay Z
obsessed with
ice cream
wine
Pretty depressing! Guess that means true love in the city is knowing someone else who finds Liz Lemon’s awkwardness just as charming as you do. Either that, or it’s someone who will share a sad little bowl of Häagen-Dazs with you as “Hard Knock Life” bumps in the background. [Village Voice, Image: Shutterstock]

Tuesday, August 30, 2011 at 6:23 AMIt can be off-putting to see all the same trends among profiles on OKC, but considering that everything in New York tends to be a matter of great effort and patience, why would OKCupid be any different? Even though a girl might use the same “I’m a living contradiction! I love to travel! I can’t believe how long I’ve been in NYC!” elements, it doesn’t mean there isn’t a funny, creative personality under there.
I’d be glad to show you an alternative. :)

Wednesday, August 31, 2011 at 11:34 AMYou’ll have better luck dating men you meet in places that aren’t designed to be meat markets for whores. Step outside of your deviant lifestyle and go to Church. You’re trying to live a man’s role in the world which is why your love life is a dead wasteland. You spend hours desperately trying to deny your loneliness with cruelty to your fellow man, alcohol and meaningless sexual encounters. Leave behind the feminist lies the media has taught you and return to God.

Though your article about Finkel was appallingly rude, the (literally) global backlash against you has to feel pretty isolative and horrific. There is no possible way you could have prepared for the tsunami of ill-will that you’re experiencing. Hang in there and good luck in NYC.
