Um, no.

I used it to try and weed out interesting people to date, which was difficult and annoying and time-consuming when clogged up with a bunch of "Hey babe i no whut u need no whut i mean?" and "Hey. Whutz up. U look hot so hit me up" messages.

That's not hot. No matter who writes it.

Maybe I'm just super realistic, but I can't help thinking 'Why would a guy with options choose me?' and move on.
yep, he's trolling (fishing) for tail. sometimes it is all about the booty call.

I haven't gotten many responses from handsome men with decent jobs (as in professional). Instead it's mostly unattractive, obese men with no money and usually either unemployed or underemployed. One attractive professional did contact me but he apparently did so to see if he could get a free meal out of me.

I got some decent responses among all the booty call chaff that had to be sorted through.

But my SO, he didn't message me...I messaged him.

Probably wouldn't have if he'd had a stupid, generic, uninspired profile, though.

Yeah, when I was doing the OLD I found it worked a lot better when I messaged them.

I always found it ironic when the women who complained that guys sent unimaginative messages were sending me messages saying "hi." Except for 1 woman, I've never received a message from a woman that showed any kind of effort. I had one that sent me a really good message and one who replied to my message with a great message. unfortunately both of them were very unattractive.

Advice to men: If you aren't attractive, don't waste your time online.

What the heck ever. Women wink too. It is just a way of showing your interest without having to write something right that minute. If he responds, then he, too has shown interest and you can move on from there.

Women have to go through thousands of pages of men and there is no time to message every last one.

Your points are not being validated by me. Online dating is a 2 way street and whats good for the goose is good for the gander.

Quit your complaining!

The trick is to read the text of women's profiles carefully (don't just look at the pics) and only write to the ones who are actually looking for a guy like you.

With your new 100% reply rate, you probably have time to write one sentence about HER profile (not about you) and ask a question. It doesn't have to be a whole paragraph, even, as long as she can tell you actually read what she wrote.
What step is beyond ROFLMAO?
