No More Fun-Loving!
So, you’re looking for a significant other. You’ve gone out on blind dates, met through church, done the whole bar scene, still nothing has stuck. So, you try online dating. You look through the profiles and what’s the phrase that appears most often? “Fun-loving”! I have a problem with “fun-loving” and I implore you never to use it when creating y0ur own online dating profile or describing yourself in any situation for that matter: dating profile, job application, obituary. 
“Fun-loving” is meaningless. Every single human being on earth is fun loving, so are many animals like dogs, dolphins and pigs. If you describe yourself as “fun loving” simply you are simply saying that you love fun… Duh! Who doesn’t like fun? Now, your idea of fun may be different from the next person’s, but by definition, if it’s fun in your eyes, you are going to be enjoying it. You can’t say, “Wow, that was fun, but it was horrible.” You just can’t. I mean, I guess you can, but if you do you are not qite stable. You will not go on another date. You will not get the job. And, no one is coming to your funeral.
If you claim that you never have fun, nor that you love anything, then of course you can’t be fun loving. So, you wouldn’t call yourself that. Everyone else loves something (it’s probably something they consider fun) and/or they have fun (and they probably love it). So, that’s the rest of the human population. Therefore, unless you are Ebinezer Scrooge, Gargamel from The Smurfs or Kim Jong Un (well, I guess he has fun hanging out with Dennis Rodman, so he doesn’t count), you are fun-loving! So, don’t state it in your profile. It’s like saying, “I blink every few seconds,” or “Every night I fall asleep.” We know it. You love fn. I love fun. We all love fun. Enough already about loving-fun.
If you want to go anywhere near this off-limits subject, tell them what is fun to you: playing basketball, watching rom-coms, sipping margaritas on the beach, hanging with former NBA stars, whatever. And, whatever you do, don’t tell us you love doing it. We know this already…it’s fun!
