banal, trite, pedestrian, mundane, prosaic

I have an inactive membership on an online personals site. I took down my profile sometime prior to meeting the cowboy, perhaps a year ago, but my information is still saved in the system and I occasionally receive emails from the company.

The one I received just now listed some "matches," based, undoubtedly, on various selections I once made regarding the age range, race, religion, etc. of men I might like to meet. I love how such websites allow one to select for "eye color" (whom do you know who considers eye color a dealbreaker?) but not, say, lack of inanity.

It is an unnecessarily limited use of modern computer science to electronically match me to someone whose first impulse at describing himself is "I consider my appearance to be very good looking. I am 5'8" tall with an athletic build."

You consider your appearance to be very good looking? Do you consider your intelligence to be very smart?

(Another problem with the online personals is that, in person, a hot enough guy could misuse the subjunctive all he wanted; I can be persuaded by aesthetics and pheromones. But no picture of a guy has the power to overcome poor diction).
