What's ironic is how many men have profile names like: Knightinshiningarmor, romanticone, yourhero.... if they had a title like that I never responded, also, if a GUY listed long walks on the beach in his profile I RAN. Already trying dish out what he thinks women want to hear.
Yours would pique my interest, it's quirky, self deprecating, shows humor. I would have checked out your profile.
I've never been on a dating site before, but if I were to make up a screen name, I'd do something similar to this.
I kind of figured it would catch some women's attention and get some hits off the name alone, and it helps women understand the kind of guy I am most of the time.

What do you think will get a guy notice in their profile (besides pictures)? Any tips for guys when they browse female profiles and how to read them?
Speaking of profile pictures, some pictures are very interesting! There was this clearly photoshopped picture of this guy claiming to be in Cairo (pyramids in the background) but the whole picture just didn't look right at all! So we were emailing back and forth and the minute I asked about his supposedly Cairo trip and told him that I too have been there before, he ditched the conversation and never emailed back, LOL! Then another one posted a pic of himself while taking out something from the fridge and another one sitting on a sofa with a TV remote in his hands
All I am interested is to know what your online dating experience has been.
i'm in my late 20's, dating women in the 20 - 30 range. To me it looks to me like a bunch of below average-looking women who feel insecure about themselves for simply signing up, being chased by about 3x that many guys, who are mostly looking for an easy lay.
For a guy the dynamic is a lot like a bar 15 minutes before closing time. If you can manage to charm or seduce a desirable woman in such an unromantic environment, then more power to you.
I always found "real life" approaches to be a complete waste of time. The ONLY thing you know in most cases (unless you know them socially for awhile, or through work) is whether you find them physically attractive. Perhaps you may have a shared interest if you meet them while pursuing that interest. However, 99 times out of 100 (or worse), they don't have the right mix of values, attitudes, goals, and interests, so while many may be nice people, they simply aren't a truly compatible match. Anyway, it would have been extremely difficult to even meet 100 women in an entire year that way.
Online, I could screen for and chat with 100 in a month or two or find out the really important things about them and then meet the few remaining to see if we also had chemistry. I saved a tremendous amount of time and almost everyone I met was at least close to the kind of person I wanted.
The demographics of online dating hugely disfavors men. From this all else follows.
