"Dude, when did you get here? We should meet up". That was my former project mate who just got off the phone with me. She somehow learned about me from other guys in Jersey. We worked together till 2008. She is Indian, but American-born and enjoyably sarcastic.
From the ten minute chat I learned she is still dating guys she sees off match.com
I shot the question: "So, how's that going?"
"Geez, don't get me started. After two profiles they all sound similar. Hi, I'm here coz I work a lot, I'm x years old, I'm athletic, people think I'm intelligent, funny, down to earth blah blah blah blah"
I hadn't laughed so hard in ages, folks. Her word delivery was just priceless. I actually stepped back and let out one of the biggest of guffaws and she was giggling too.
Then she goes, "It's just annoying."
And starts again, "Oh my God, I gotta tell you about the guys who post pictures without a shirt and their biceps"
"Then the other set of guys who babble endlessly about their stock investments"
And then, she stops again, "It's annoying"
I had a first hand narration about the majority of male profiles on match, which sound lame, to be honest. And I couldn't resist sharing it here
I posted this before a while back, but I have since revised it. The beginning of my profile says:

I live life to its emptiest - in fact it's nearly nonexistent - and I absolutely refuuuuuuuse to laugh. I hate to cuddle, I am looking for my worst enemy, NOT my soul mate, and walking on the beach? SHOW ME A BEACH IN FRICKIN' ATLANTA. I am NOT as comfortable in high-heels as I am in sneakers, I LOVE drama and game-playing, and I SUCK at giving massages. My friends and family are so unbelievably unimportant to me.
I will *only* respond to guys who have shirtless pics in their profiles, pics of them leaning on their super-hot car, pics of them holding a beer making that face guys make when getting their picture taken when holding a beer (somewhere between "I LOVE YOU, MAN!!!" and "AAAAAAAAAAGH!!!"), or pics of their dog in their profiles. Make sure you put on those sunglasses, because I sure as hell don't wanna see what you look like! And, whatever you do, DO. NOT. SMILE.
When writing me, please write me in text-speak. Something like "hi how r u" or "do u have msn" should suffice. Please ask me for my number straight off the bat. And when I don't give it to you, get pissy as hell. Also, don't forget "Hey, Ivy, are you topless in that pic rofl?", or some variation, thereof, when writing me, or I will have to go crush a rose.
If I should actually decide to meet you, that would be a great time to tell me you are still married. After the meet, I expect NO CONTACT, WHATSOEVER. Yes, just drop off the face of the planet. Or you can obsessively text me at 4 am...whatever works, I'm laid back like that!
My interests include, and are limited to: chillin', hangin' out with my buds, and, occasionally, a little chillaxin'.
Sometimes I like to go out, and sometimes I like to stay in. Sometimes it's best to just sit in a tree and eat a poptart.
Size doesn't matter.
My friends tell me I am undependable, disloyal, and that I go through their medicine cabinets (wait...how did they find out??). They say I would make a guy very unhappy, I have no sense of humor, whatsoever, and am an all-around loser. I am a terrible catch, so just throw me back in whatever dumpster you pulled me out of.
*jazz hands
And...SCENE!
It has actually gotten me a LOT of positive responses! I added a disclaimer that it was just a parody. And then I went on with the real stuff.
It's no different than what you would get in a bar or any other public place. People boast, puff themselves up to make themselves more attractive. It happens in person and sites, how is this new or shocking?

You wild provocateur you
Judging from your profile text, I can imagine there is a ton of head-inflated idiots on the dating sites. Yikes. I thought the girl was just venting with an air of condescendence.
I think having an unconventional profile like neemy does shows more personality wise and you can tell if the responses are from nuts or no.
