UK man gets Google to automatically fill in his online dating profile

There’s plenty of advice out there for those in the online dating world, but one man has taken it to the next level - letting Google predictive text fill out his own profile.

Aaron Gillies, 28, allowed the text function to populate his online ad, which ended up telling potential partners that he lived in “a shed”, was born “in the dark” and was looking for that special someone who has “two thumbs”.

The UK comedian screenshotted his profile and posted it to Twitter, where it’s received more than 18,000 re-tweets and 23,000 likes.

He then offered his dating consultant services to anyone for the small fee of £5000 (A $10,172).

But there’s no word yet on whether Mr Gillies has found his Google-calculated perfect match – “a person who is addicted to alcohol who can fix my car and who thinks the earth is flat”.
