Imagine if, instead of the "interested in" on one's Facebook profile, there was a "not interested in" button, where one could list all the things that were deal-breakers. Think about it: Right now, Facebook says that I am interested in men - but considering that "men" is about half the world's population, that does not really narrow it down - or give the aspiring male much more than a foggiest notion of if he stands a chance. Listing what you're not interested in, however, gives the aspiring stalker much more of a clue as to whether or not you're worth pursuing. For example, the profile of a straight woman or gay man might read:
Not Interested In:
Cat-lovers
Smokers
People with vaginas.
There you have it - much more informative, while still gently informing females whose hearts flutter at the sound of your name that you're just not interested. We are a society that thrives on list-making, that enjoys indicating our "likes" at the click of a button - so why not list some dislikes, while we're at it?
