Fun?

I’m going to stray from technology for a moment to get something off my chest.
I spend some free time browsing online dating sites and looking at profiles. It is astounding just how many women have no idea on what they actually like. At least, according to their profiles, they are totally inept at formulating their ideas into words. One recurring word that pops up a lot is the word “fun”. Let me post this questions to all two readers of my blog. After reading the following profiles, what do you think this person means? I will remove the majority of the profile and just keep the parts thats will further prove my point.
“i love to have fun ,i use to live in EB and now live in Old Bridge ( it suxs ),i like to meet new people, like watchin hockey GO DEVILS!!! i like being lazy too ,but mainly try to figure out wht to do with my life”
“I’m pretty mellow and easy to get along with. I love having fun and doing stupid shit that gets me in trouble..”
“I love to try new things and have fun.”
“im a crazy fun lover. im pretty sarcastic if ur not used to me or my personality. i love giving everyone a chance i wont drop ya unless theres a reason. i can attempt a good time sitting in a an empty room. im a dorky goofball who just likes to have fun. i really like being around my friends and haveing a good time.”
“I like to have fun and just be out there…..If you wanna know more just simply ask me….”
“I am a fun, easy going girl. Just trying to make my way each day:) I am funny. Sometimes smart. I love my friends to death and ill do anything for them”
“I basically am interested in meeting sane, fun, and kind people.I love to be active and social. On occasion though, I enjoy sitting at home listening to music or laying on the couch.”
“I’m a really fun and ez going person. i do alot of crazy shit but i dont it cause i want to.”
“i’m pretty much excited about everything, and i love a good time. i like people, really.”
“i like to have fun
im spontaneous
i hatee drama and i dont cause any
im really easygoing
i love to meet new people
talk to me =]”
Now, these few profiles were found in a matter of a few minutes. It seems to me that everyone likes to have fun. But, what exactly IS fun? And is there anyone in the world that doesn’t enjoy a good time?

Exactly, what is fun?
Fun is like a variable. Fun is whatever a person enjoys doing. However, fun to you may not be fun to me…
For example:
Michael Jackson enjoys touching children, he probably considers it fun.
OJ Simpson has fun murdering.
Hannibal Lecter has fun cannibalizing.
While all these things may seem fun to them, they aren’t very fun to me. So posting “I like to have fun,” is really like saying “I like to do what I like to do.” sounds kinda selfish

Exactly my point. Everyone says that they like to have fun and/or a good time, but never specify exactly WHAT they think is fun or WHAT constitutes a good time.
Somehow, I have a feeling that with most of them, if I were to show them what I think is fun, most would be put off. :/ I mean, come on, kernel recompiling can be fun! ;)

Fuck fun. Fun is overrated.

here is my profile:
im fucking angry. i like to yell, and i think its fun. i want kids so i have someone around that i can constantly fuck with, other than you of course. im passive aggressive as well as mentally and physically abusive. i like music, all kinds… prolly not what you like though. i like to do stuff, but prolly not the shit you like to do. i dont care about your needs, nor do i care if you care about mine. im only interested in satisfying myself sexually; never my partner but thats okay i prolly couldnt statisfy you anyway if i tried. im in debt.
:O
have a nice day,
