When I joined up, I answered a ton of questions that kept appearing on my screen. I found out within a week that most people don't answer more than a dozen of these questions, and many of the questions are quite personal. Even worse, being about the only one answering them creates a special "personality" screen in the user profile which shows a person's supposed deviations from the norm in stark detail. But it's not accurate since the norm is not answering more than a few questions, so it unfairly makes me look way less of this and way more of that. Since the website is designed by college geeks who pride themselves in data retention, going back and removing my answers doesn't change my personality profile back to normal, and only served to remove my "more honest" meter according to some algorithm. It will be there on that website forever. The final insult was a "less mannered" bar showing up on my profile after I used their online complaint form to address my concerns, and they never sent a reply message. Who's going to want to date someone with a writeup like that? Thankfully, it was free of charge.
