Does this make sense?

Question

I am writing a not so serious post for what I look for in a date. I wanted to know if the following made any sense:

"Must be intellectually aligned and in complete mental synch with my arbitrarily preconceived notions of reality."

And this one:

"Must not be a conformist. But also must not be so much of an nonconformist that it conflicts with my discernment of how much nonconformity is plausible and socially feasible."

sumguy wanted to know if the following made any sense

Meaning can certainly be assigned to those word groups, the first more easily than the second, but they aren't the most natural ways of expressing those thoughts. However, I think you already know this, and that the style of these ads is just what you wanted. You may also already know that the number of responses you'll get is extraordinarily low because so few people match or will even wish to match your very special requirements.

Just a quick observation: Those statements don't come across as 'not so serious'. Well, not to me, anyway.

Yes, I intend to confuse some of the readers with my intention, hehe

. Here is the rest of my post. I am sure there is an error around here somewhere:

"2. No sense of humor- AKA doesn't find me funny. Seriously; my sense of humor is golden and anyone that is unable to recognize such obviously lacks one.

3. Either sings too much or sings too little. You must find a middle ground ladies. It helps if you're super hot though.

wink, wink

4. Look like a authentic woman - no mustaches or body hair at all, found anywhere, at any given point in time, for whatever reason, whatsoever. What the **** is wrong with you? We're not animals, we're humans.

5. Academic potency - must have acquired a considerable amount of official scholarly credentials in any given field of my liking, from a set pool of respectable academic institutions of my choosing(* see requirements 1 and 4), along with an official IQ exam score. Failure to adhere to the said requirements or inability to provide proof thereof will, by default, render your quantification process null and therefore force me to reject you as a potential date.

6. Empathy - must exhibit the exact same levels of empathy, extending towards the exact same group of people, originating from the exact same set of reasons. Any parts of your ideology which does not perfectly and seamlessly coincide with my verdict of what precise amounts of this virtue should be exerted, paying particularly close attention to the manner in which it is expressed and your overall methodology, will be publicly and mercilessly scrutinized. If, for whatever misfortune of fate, you find yourself confounded, perplexed, baffled, or entirely flummoxed as to which the valid and universal outlook should be then I implore, for your own sake, that you adopt the blatantly clear, irrefutably accurate, and objectively correct point of view. Mine.

Master Guide Line Of The Empathies :

wuss > 'my empathy level' > heartless

7. Idiocy/Corniness - Like good sense of humor, only the delivery is subjectively awry (* see point 2). Such demonstrations will cause our date at Quiznos to be irrevocably discontinued. I simply will not tolerate such appalling attempts of humor. If you are truly serious about appeasing me, as a small demonstration of my equitableness, pamphlets containing key data points covering some of what I find tasteful and mentally stimulating may be obtained prior to your date subscription. Each of these pamphlets may be purchased through my website for just three easy installments of $1.99(plus the cost of shipping and handling). All sales are final."

My attempt at satire.

Oof! Sorry, but this is really too long to deal with as a grammar question.

Try reposting it under "Essay, Report, & Composition Writing".

Thanks.
