Looking for love online? You probably like "30 Rock" ... or say you do. At least if you live in New York.

Sam Yagan, co-founder of free online dating website OkCupid, offered The Village Voice a little inside glimpse at the data he had collected with millions of dating profiles at his disposal.

Specifically, he gave them the top six most frequently used terms by New York men and women, separated by gender.

And remember, this is a free online dating site where complete strangers essentially advertise themselves to the opposite sex.

The number one term for both men and women: "30 Rock."

That's right, "30 Rock." As in, a TV show.

Of course, that could just mean people who watch "30 Rock" frequently date online, but it could also mean watching television is now the sexiest thing people can come up with.

Better bring popcorn to your next date.

The rest of the lists didn't correspond at all, gender-wise. Men loved Bob Dylan and their iPhones and girls loved Jay-Z and ice cream. Or at least that's what they want the opposite sex to think they like.

OkCupid's data also revealed that New York is not even one of the 10 most promiscuous cities in the U.S. (Portland and Seattle topped that list, by the way).

Nope, no use for the show, and I found my wonderful girlfriend without any TV references at all. Turn it off. Read a book. Then read another. Then repeat until you understand why I said this.

Actually I don't know because I've never watched it. I'm not much into TV. My theory is that 30 Rock and OkCupid probably appeals to the same age group (young adults).

Love the humor. Fey and Baldwin compliment each other perfectly. The political banter is quite hilarious really. Although generally liberal in tones, I do think the show also makes several digs at utopian liberals as wells bringing a bit of balance to the show.

Its a funny show, i'm shocked at all the comments of politicalization, I am normally someone with a real short fuze when it comes to getting liberal politics shoved down my throat (jon stewart makes my blood boil) but I actually have always found 30 rock to walk the line pretty well. It has a very liberal cast and does somewhat pokes fun at conservatives, but they makes fun of democrats so often, and the overboard absurdities of liberal political correctness, that I felt it balanced itself out pretty well.

Considering how liberal tina fey herself is, the show isn't nearly as politicized as even family guy. But thats just my opinion.
