The end goal of filling out an online dating profile is more or less to make oneself look attractive in hopes of gettin’ some, whether long-term or short-term. So what’s attractive, New Yorkers? OKCupid shared its regional data with the Village Voice: For male New Yorkers, the terms that appear most frequently are 30 Rock, Arrested Development, Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Bob Dylan, “born and raised,” and “my iPhone.” For women, it’s 30 Rock, True Blood, Jay Z, “obsessed with,” ice cream, and wine.
