Personality Plagiarism

[Patrick Appel]

It's rampant on Internet dating sites, apparently:

When you present yourself to potential suitors in an online dating profile, you are, in the terminology of psychology, 'constructing the self'. Perhaps it's not surprising then, that the most attractive profiles are being ripped off and plagiarized by lazy daters wanting to freeload on the most creative members' personalities.
