I've done quite a bit of online dating. It is very difficult to figure out someone's personality from profiles on dating sites. However, I can figure out personality VERY well (and hence whether we'd click) from someone's Facebook profile, if they are an active user.
It's things like -- what kind of people do they hang out with? Who posts on their wall and what do they say? How do they talk with their friends? What type of profile pictures do they post? What do they do with friends? etc. Some people say that Facebook is TMI for dating (or that it's too much personal info to give out before meeting), but it has helped me avoid many awkward first dates!
