At least with job applications they tell you they want someone with 5 years Java experience. In dating no one tell you what they want.

Or 6 years of experience with that framework that's 3 years old which is par for the course for dating apps; unrealistic standards.

It would be nice if they said anything.

"Dogs, Travel, Tacos." Isn't a profile and yet 80% of the profiles I see are basically that, or "just ask."
