Online dating

The online dating website EHarmony tells me it is responsible for almost 5% of all marriages in the US. After debating for a long time about whether this online dating thing is for me, I thought: it's good to be open to new experiences, let me pay 40 pounds to shop for men online!

So you need to answer a few question to get started:
- What ethnicity are you willing to consider in a partner? White/Caucasian, Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi (who knew these were different ethnicities), Chinese, Japanese, Black/African/Caribbean (who knew these were all the same), Arab/Middle Eastern, Other. Where's the box for: I would like to open a debate about the definition of ethnicity? 
- What religious belief are you willing to accept in a partner? Chrstian: sure. Muslim: not ideal, but speaking from experience I love my South Asian Muslim men (not sure they love me). Hindu: why not. Sikh: not sure I can deal with the turban, much less with the knife in the turban. New Age: now you're really pushing your luck. Spiritual but not religious: oh man, you don't want to know how I feel about these spiritual but not religious types.
- How much does this statement apply to you: It would be great to not have to answer 793 questions to meet someone? very much
