An Academic Look at PWM

PWM is typically used as a noun (i.e., a naming word). For example:

I'm looking for a PWM.

Of interest, dating sites are full of specialist abbreviations, which have their roots in a time when personal ads featured in local newspapers and users were charged by the word. (A term like PWM would cost the user the fee for one word as opposed to three.)

PWM is an initialism abbreviation. Technically, this means it is pronounced using its individual letters (i.e., Pee Dublyu Em), but as this is harder to say than "Professional white male," it is not often uttered using its letters. In other words, the abbreviation PWM is for efficiency in writing and not efficiency in speech.
