Dating Absurdity

Aside from the rude, dysfunctional, and just plain bonkers people you meeting online dating, there are the flat out dumb, with nothing to say.

If I had a dollar for every opening note I've received consisting solely of 'Hi, how are you?', I don't know how many dollars I'd have but it would be a bunch. In order to head them off, I've included the following in my OK profile:
If you send me a lame 'Hi, how are you?' message, here's your response:
' great! Done with parole and all the paternity tests came back negative. Hoes be tryin' to bleed me dry!'

Of course, I still receive those notes, but I received one today that made my head hurt.

This was on a vanilla dating site, where you are encouraged to display your first name.
They've eliminated usernames and key off your email. So, my first name was clearly displayed on my profile as was her's, which you can see.

I'll just leave this here...

Yep I get them as well from the guys I don't ever initiate conversation because I don't find anyone on here that " grabs my attention " I like dressed and partially clothed guys and little things left to the imagination not cock pics up close or jerk off vids or pics.. of course I am a woman first I am gonna look..lol but rarely ever answer flirts or " hi hows things" blurbs..full sentences yep I will answer if its someone who fits my criteria, even chat with ones who don't as long as its respectful

Ok, I have to play the other side. IM has so many problems, you never know if you are going to to connect. I have sent many first messages that just say delivered. Usually open up with a Hi and if get a response then begin a more thoughtful chat. If it is a message with gold member then a little more thought.

This was on a different site, where the messaging system actually functions.

I'm being thick I guess.. is your name Midlo?

No, this was on a completely different, and vanilla, dating site in which you are encouraged to use your first names, versus usernames.

Editing my post..

I would rather someone say hi how are you ? Than send me a dick pic as a salutation.
