Online dating is a challenge. As websites bombard you with supposedly viable matches and your inbox fills with messages and winks from men who think you’re “a cutie” or “reeeeeally cool,” you think: it would be nice if there was a road map to help me weed out the guys I could walk arm in arm with from the ones I may need a restraining order against.
After months of scanning, surveying, replying, blocking, and first-dating, here it is, to your rescue:
The Online Dating Match Approval Matrix.
(in the style of New York Magazine’s Approval Matrix)
They Told Me to Find a Rich Husband 
this is the best thing i’ve seen all day!

Where does “he spells you as u, are as r, and doesn’t punctuate at all” fall?
This is a tough one…
I’m thinking in either the upper left or the lower right because it’s kind of a judgement call… well, the “u for you” and the “r for are” (maybe he created his profile on his iphone?)… the lack of grammar, well, that goes next to “there’s a photo of him with his newborn baby and his wife”
I have an iPhone, and I still type full words.
Of course, I could be being too hard on this fake guy. It’s possible he only has two fingers or is an eagle: http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html.
Also, the married with newborn thing, unless the marriage is open, is way worse than any spelling mistake he could make.
Love the chart Kathleen!
