In advertising, the wording used is, to say the least, somewhat misleading. We have all experianced a car being described as 'a runner' because thats what you end up doing...running after it as it careens downhill while attempting to runstart it. Or a house advertised as having 'character' and finding the squatter in the attic is indeed a descriptions on some profiles are just as broadly worded. How about listing some of these? Perhaps it will help the uninitiated in advertese to read between the lines... One that springs to mind; Athletic build could mean a menber of the Womans Russian weight-lifting team.

I agree with what you say, but one word I think that must be changed is "Ethnic origin" or keep the word but, where you pick what ethnic background you come from, then change the word "caucasian" to White. As it seems many people in South Africa does not know what that means. Many of the profiles lately, people do not answer that question. I think some people do not know the meaning of the word.
