Contest: Creating THE Best Dating Profile

Dating site OkCupid wants to find the best profile.

Any veteran of online dating knows that there are some really, really bad profiles out there. Either people say something incredibly trite and use the terms "hard-working," "fun-loving" and "family-oriented" like they have any meaning left, or they write an incredibly serious autobiography starting with what position their parents were in on the evening of their conception to the names they have picked out for their future kids. Either way, unless the photo is outstanding, that person becomes your dog Skip. Read: 5 Mistakes Men Make When Dating Online

And the dudes at OkCupid (not Radiohead, that was "OK Computer") have noticed this. So, in the spirit of making online dating "better" and more successful, OkCupid, in conjunction with Survey Gizmo, is holding a best dating profile contest. Review: Online Dating at OKCupid

The contest is open to all the users of OkCupid (an easy-to-use, free dating site with some fun quizzes) and the voting is open to anyone who just wants to judge other people. Click here to vote.

The winner of the contest will get their car washed by me while wearing aqua socks, Daisy Dukes and a Domino mask*. So, start an OkCupid account and win $250 or, better yet, fall in love. It's free, and you've nothing to lose.

*Note: Of course I'm kidding, the winner gets $250. Even Guantanamo interrogators deign to use the frumpy, shirtless, pale guy-washing-a-car treatment.

Can you relate?

I have been doing the dating search sites for ever. I have not yet met anyone that fits my life style, Yeh I have a good profile I can put up and I am sure no one can match it***

I wouldn't be too sure of yourself on that, my profile is pretty darn good. Have a grea day and I hope you eventually find that special someone who "fits" your lifestyle.

Does the profile have to be true? I myself am an independently wealthy Nobel prize winner who looks like Diana Riggs in the Avengers. Intelligent, but sweet and wholesome. I can bake a pie, and do the NY Times crossword in five minutes.

I can't buy a car for $250 so when I buy a bike with the prize money I expect you in aqua socks, Daisy Dukes and a Domino mask at my apartment door! I'll provide the soap and bucket!
