If Toronto had a dating app profile it might look something like this

I don't know about you, but the brutal winter weather in Toronto lately has me yearning for warmer, summer-like temperatures. Warm enough weather for going out, hanging with friends, grabbing patio drinks and, dare I say, even dating. 

A few months ago, when you could still just step outside in just a t-shirt, blogTO hit up King West to ask people what they imagine Toronto's dating profile would say.

A lot of people have the same brutally honest tagline in mind: "Red flag!"

"It should say something like 'needs improvement' or 'a solid B+' but who would message on that?" one man asks.

"Probably 'hot but insecure,'" another man tells us. Relatable, honestly. He says even his friends from New York are always harping on how "people in Toronto hate on Toronto."

My personal favourite bio someone came up with: "You can find everything and nothing at the same time." I see her point, because, while the city is vast and overflowing with options, you can still end up feeling like you've got zilch, you know?

We also asked people which other Canadian city they think Toronto would be most compatible with.

"[Toronto] is so obsessed with itself that it would have to be a very small town," someone else says. "It could never be overshadowed; it's so used to having the spotlight." Fair enough!

Some think Calgary would be a good match, while another suggests Montreal.

"I know we're rivals, but we're like friendly rivals," he says. "We'd be too competitive with Ottawa, and with Vancouver, it's just night and day."

But another resident actually thinks Vancouver is the perfect opposites-attract kind of match our city needs.

"Vancouver is a counterpoint, right? It's easy going, people are outside, they're eating homemade muesli, they're rollerblading by the water," he says. "Toronto has none of that, so we need some of that in our lives."

Hmm. If that's the case, then perhaps Toronto's dating profile should just say: "Looking for someone chill."
