It's actually hilarious. I've heard good humor is rooted in truth, even if despicable. And, though your specific example is beyond reality (at least today), it's not too far from what internet dating sites do. We also dabble in this "market" on various social media sites. So, while initially, readers might step back from this poem, they ought to first ask how far off you are from today's reality. Not far, I believe. Nice work.
