The 5 worst video-dating profiles on TV

As we prepare Vooji for launch, we’re learning a lot about what pops into people’s heads when you say the words “video dating” and for many, Comcast’s ‘Dating on Demand’ appears to be the answer.

I’d never seen this TV/Web dating hybrid as I:

  1. Don’t have a TV
  2. Am not in a Comcast region
  3. Try not to hurt my brain with stuff like this

In the interests of research and greater understanding I went to YouTube to view a few of their profiles (as their website is so broken it’s literally unusable). There I found a litany of horror some of which is too funny not to share.

Don’t blame me – it’s all on TV.

Mr. Wonderful
Likes: Blondes, food, hair gel
Dislikes: Introspection, eye contact, baggy T-Shirts

Ms. Diagnosed
Likes: Strength, obedience, kink
Dislikes: Her first husband, drugs, sucking

Ms. FedEx
Likes: Cheating, big hands, the FedEx man
Dislikes: Societal norms, stability, reason

Ms. Freebie
Likes: Nine Inch Nails, free stuff, food
Dislikes: Work, laid back people, blue-collar crime

Mr. Wild-Crazy
Likes: Honesty, Sex and the City, shoes
Dislikes: Constantly losing, anime, weird stuff

Vooji will be nothing like this. I promise.
