In Defense of Describable Dating Preferences

I've been on dating apps for the past 3 months (ladies of HN, you heard right), including the "marriage apps" within the Muslim community (it's the same basic product). I suspect being Muslim, white, over 35, and not a doctor filters out about 99.99% of women who I might be compatible with. I have chosen not to describe my ideal partner at all for this reason. I'm already pre-filtered to an extreme. Limping along as it is with an eye-patch and two bum legs, why handicap myself even more?
