Advances in Internet dating

Say goodbye to your favorite romantic cliche: "I love long walks on the beach."

That phrase could become obsolete if ProfileWiz catches on. The service writes an online dating profile for you, based on your answers to a variety of photo-based questions. The cost: $4.75.

It's not a bad deal, but it also makes it a lot more difficult to weed out weird people when perusing online dating sites.

The profile has long been regarded as an almost fail-safe screening device -- not to mention a way to determine if your date knows the difference between "whose" and "who's."

Weigh in: If you met someone online, and then realized he/she didn't write an original profile, would you break up?
