Hobbies and Interests

So, I've always had a hard time filling out those "interests" sections of forums so I decided the other day I would make a web-site to centralize it...

https://sites.google.com/site/sinbadevsinterestometer/

it is not, nor can it ever truly represent the state of my mind at any given time but it's better then "Internet, Video Games, Reading, Board Games and Other Stuff"

I respect this move because I too hate filling in the "video games, reading, blah blah blah" on forums. It makes me feel so narrow...

Sadly, when I saw this topic, this was my exact thought.

Can somebody create an applet that randomly creates these pages, because a) I dont have any real interests
and b) I dont like to write about it.

So when some people that want to put me in their narrow boxes in their head want something like that from me I can just use that site.

Id guess the most useful information in a dating site is a photo of the user.

Not really. The most useful element is a short essay written by the user about herself.

The problem with all of these "most useful informations" is that they can always be faked... I've heard of people who actually put someone elses pic on the dating sites because they fear they are too ugly :|

Of course they can. Checking the essay for duplication is a lot easier than the picture. Also, the essay you chose, if you didn't write it yourself, will give different relevant information.
