- Excellent idea. Let's actually SPELL OUT the conventions so that the
- confusion is minimized: (Note: the ? stands for any one character)
-
- S?? = Single
- M?? = Married
- D?? = Divorced
- G?? = Gay (Homosexual)
- B?? = Bisexual
- ?W? = White
- ?B? = Black
- ?A? = Asian
- ?J? = Jewish
- ??M = Male
- ??F = Female
-
- Maybe we should have people list: Age, Location, abbreviated description of
- self and abbreviated description of what they're looking for.
-
- Sound good, or is that too strict and unreasonable?
