Here, "orientation" is referring to "sexual orientation" i.e. this person's sexual preference is stated.

"Straight" means that this person is "heterosexual" i.e. he/she is only interested in people of the opposite gender.

Hope this helps!

Avangi, you are happily ignorant of the online dating realm.

What the "body type" question really means is "Are you fat? Because I won't waste my time on you if you're fat."

I had forgotten about this thread. A Stars, if you come across this again, I used "zaftig" for mine. I figured if they didn't know what it meant, and didn't have the initiative to look it up, and/or didn't appreciate a woman who would use that word, I didn't want them anyway!
