Funny Because It's True

OKCupid's racial stereotyping guide (re-published on Gizmodo), mined the website's dating profiles for the most common words that men use to describe themselves in their interests, hobbies, tastes, and self descriptions.

Then OKCupid separated all of the answers by race. The results are both hilarious and enlightening.

None of the top words White men use to describe themselves say anything about their careers. None of the women's profiles seem to mention career either - just the Asian males, who are either engineers or finance guys, and proud of it.

Here are some of the words Asian men use the most in their profiles:
Freakonomics, analyst, Malcolm Gladwell, surfing the net, investment, gadgets, entrepreneur, finance, accountant, and investing.

The white guys use words like this:
Ghostbusters, The Big Lebowski, brew, boating, Groundhog Day, hockey, Jeep, building things, hunting and fishing
