What would an example of this look like?
"Fan of Rick and Morty" just says the same thing as "I like Rick and Morty".
Liking Rick and Morty is not a personality type.
Wait...
Personally, liking Rick and Morty feels like a red flag for a certain type of person these days. The kind that thinks being a dick is a positive and claims you have to be a genius to understand the show.
So, Rick, basically.
talk about your values, what you actually do, your personality traits
"easy going cowboy with a tender heart. sees value in spending time wisely instead of chasing after a rush of blood to the head. you'll likely find me at the bowling alley knocking back some of that good ole sarsaparilla."
Why do you enjoy the show? Are you a fan of science fiction? Is your sense of humor rather dark and nihilistic? Does the way the show finds humor in sci fi concepts interest you? Is it about the social and mental health commentary?
Or do you just enjoy potty humor?
Understanding what you like about something is more useful data for a potential partner than even necessarily what you like.
It can also impact which partners will feel safe and comfortable around you.
