LOL. I'm from louisiana. Probably why I end up with emails like these lol. Here's another good one.
Without a physical contact I could tell of an embodiment of gift I'm yet to meet. I like the way u noted your words and if you wouldn't mind I'll like to get to know you. I have all it takes to put up with you and I'll treat you with respect. I love intelligent people, good conversation, and a great meal. People forget to be friends when they are trying to date, they also forget the friendship it it goes past dating. I'm young guy with an old soul and I'll never regret anything that put a smile on your face. You can call me Desmond!
I have no idea what he is trying to say in the first line?? This line makes me lol "I have all it takes to put up with you and I'll treat you with respect." Really what do i have in my profile that deserves the response "I have all it takes to put up with you". Guess I need to tone it down.0 -
Well my OKC site seems to have dried up no messages lately. However one of the guys I have been texting on and off is waiting to get back in town from a work trip and he wants to meet. My only worry is he seems really nice but I havent actually met anyone from the site yet.....0

Bahahaha!!!! It doesn't sound as though English is his first language! Maybe the fact that he can "put up with you" is a compliment?! hehehe. omgosh too funny! Maybe he meant "keep up with you?" LOL! I think in his first line he is basically telling you that he knows you are a gift to him and he hasn't even met you in person yet...I always find that creepy too, when they are so sure you will make a good match before even meeting!0 -
It seems like online dating sites are causing more frustration than they worth. A laugh at putrid attempts to bond isn't worth it.0

And to balance it out.. I received this one last night from a guy whose profile I liked. He's cute too. :blushing:
"I just wanted to say hello. I think we have a lot in common (I don't have cable either)... anyways, I'd be very interested in getting to know you and maybe hanging out sometime."
Simple, to the point, he at least scanned my profile by the no cable comment (I'm anti- cable because it sucks the life right out of you with all the channels and reality crap tv) and I like that he wants to meet. In his profile he stated how he didn't want to spend too much time going back and forth over messages.
I've been talking to this other guy since Saturday.. I think we've texted almost everyday and spoke once on the phone. He has yet to bring up meeting. I've decided to pass him up.0 -

but gee, isn't that what all women dream about... somebody to "put up with us" lol! lol! He mentioned good food, too, lol, what more do you need???:bigsmile:0 -

See guys, there's a good canned response you can easily personalize that won't waste all your time.

I'm stealing that one. Except I have cable and probably nix the hanging out part.0 -
I have a presence on POF & OkCupid now, but trying not to initiate messages. I will respond when someone initiates something. While that is more efficient, it is not necessarily more effective, at least towards the overarching goal of the process.
When I was online, I almost never emailed a guy first... I would wink or click "yes" on the pages where they show you guys and ask you to say yes, no, or maybe, but that's was about it.
I had no success with the free sites- I did connect with men, but they emailed forever and wasted my time b/c we'd never meet. I suspect most of them were married or in booring jobs, looking for diversions.
So maybe we need to find someone who used the sites effectively and have them tell us what worked....A friend of mine met a woman on Match.com that turned out they'd both grown up in the same town (since moved) and participated in one of the same missions events (so large they never actually met, but they're both in the pictures of the group). So it really worked out for them.
See, I've heard horror stories about Match, Eharmony, POF, OKC, all of them...
Then I've heard "I met the love of my life" stories on Match, Eharmony, POF, OKC, all of them...
So it's just down to fate... I think.
Oh now I'm being sappy.
I had no luck on match, a little luck on eharmony. okc I met a few decent guys, a few jerks. I made a pof but promptly deleted it after seeing my psycho ex on there.0 -

I think the "don't have cable" is where he inserts the "personal" phrase ;-)
ETA: Doh! I'm too late... I think you've got it! Too bad according to your other post we've all been friend zoned, lol!0 -
I'll try it right now. Like now. Plus I've got my new super profile, which I'm submitting below for review (!!!):And to balance it out.. I received this one last night from a guy whose profile I liked. He's cute too. :blushing:

[START]
"I'm French and mighty!
My list of interests up there is probably a good start for introducing myself. [MFP people: that's the list of interests above the profile I'm referring to]
On top of the above, I like to travel the world, discover new countries and cultures. I want to have fun in life and make the best of it, and I would like to try as many different things as possible before I pass out - preferably with a toothless smile on my face...
"Be bold and courageous. When you look back on your life, you'll regret the things you didn't do more than the ones you did."
I think I should tattoo this on my forehead, this is a great principle to live by.
I enjoy going to rock/metal gigs, but when chilling out, I listen to a lot of other things as well - mainly electro, house, DnB, downtempo/ambient. I'm always happy to discover new artists so maybe we can share some tips?
I would prefer to meet someone who is a bit quirky, alternative... or perhaps just different. I keep an open mind and I would be happy to make new friends if things don't quite work out the way we intended!
It would be nice to meet a special someone who has at least some similar interests so that we can spend some quality time together.
Don't hesitate to drop me a line so we can get to know each other more!"

*sigh* if only you were a wee bit older, lol,
(and in the US)
Hey, why not start a new thread so people who stopped reading this thread might comment on your profile...?
only comment I have is along with the "I want to..." maybe add something that shows you actualy live that cool life now (pictures maybe? I don't know...)0 -
Yeah, well, I tick several boxes of *your* deal breakers...I'll try it right now. Like now. Plus I've got my new super profile, which I'm submitting below for review (!!!):

Thanks for the comments (I'm too embarrassed to start a new thread... :blushing: ).
I've lost all my pictures in a hard drive crash so I only have a few at the moment - not that I have many good pics of myself to be honest.0 -
:noway: I am never doing online dating again!
Btw when I did I only ever liked the guy when I chose him.
Flamfoz, nice profile! The thing about being a (kinda) heart breaker is that yours isn't unscathed either. Be careful out there :flowerforyou:0 -

Hey Flamfloz (what does this mean????)
I really like your profile! :bigsmile: its friendly, intelligent and shows your heart/passion. Although your taste in music is diabolical :laugh:
Not sure about the 'French & Mighty' bit though??? bit intimidating, maybe?? Better to say something ermmm...... attractive about being French, like romantic? sexy accent? great lover? :laugh: (I'm joking about the last one!! that will give the wrong impression!...)
BTW - I'm sure I know you!!!!! Do you reside in East London?? :laugh: You dont have to admit to that if you dont want
ETA - I agree you should start a new thread with your profile. Its going to get missed in here!! Dont be shy, we are all friends here :flowerforyou:0 -

:noway: I am never doing online dating again!
hehe how many of us have said that and then a year later... lol...
it's funny... now that my mindset has shifted from "looking for a replacement husband" to "looking for someone to have adventures with, whether or not anything permanent develops" I'm actually getting excited my friend wants me to join her online when she loses her weight.
I hope this doesn't sound too evil, but since my mindset shifted, I've been much less picky about who I'll give a chance, and I've actually had more fun with the folks I've met in my daily goings on. I think if I had had this mindset back when I had an online profile, I would have actually dated a few more of the guys who contacted me and had more fun.
We shall see.0 -
Not 100% sure what you mean by this, but I think I'm more the "broken heart" type than the "heart breaker". Yeah, my sentimental life is a nightmare...Flamfoz, nice profile! The thing about being a (kinda) heart breaker is that yours isn't unscathed either. Be careful out there :flowerforyou:
Flamfloz is based on my name, which I (shamelessly) didn't post in your other thread: Florian. It doesn't mean much really, it's a combination of Flam and Floz which were 2 of my old nicknames (based on my first name!).Hey Flamfloz (what does this mean????)

I might change the "French and mighty", but I'm just trying to be a bit cheeky so no harm intended when I say that. I hope the people who read my profile get this!
I would be amazed if we knew each other! London is 8-10 million people :laugh:
No, I actually live in North London, near Turnpike Lane.
I'm still considering going out for a drink with you at some point though, I think it might be fun to see someone from MFP in real life (which is rarely going to happen for us UK people)... :flowerforyou:0 -

The way I view profiles is IF it may offend/cause harm/intimidate/be misinterpreted, then leave it out!! I do get the humour in what you're saying, however, the one girl that you like might just have a 'thing' about the French being arrogant. It might be the only thing the makes her not reply. Worth the risk?
This is the thing: I have a cab driver locally, who has long hair (like you), plaity type beard (like you) and is very FRENCH!!! (LIKE YOU!!!) When you said you were French, I thought OMG, surely not!! However, and its a BIG however, he's more my age!!! But then I thought maybe you had lied about your age, or maybe IRL you arent wearing very well :laugh: Anyway, he could be your father!! Seriously!! :flowerforyou:
Love to meet up for a beer! I'm just a bit sad that there aren't more Londoners in here
otherwise we could have a real good jolly up!! :drinker: Going to O'Neills in Leytonstone for St Patrick shinanigans later. Pop in if you're passing :bigsmile:
Do you pronounce Florian - Flori ann (as in girls name Ann), rather than Flor ian, (as in boys name Ian)??0 -

The pronunciation is really none of these, although it should be closer to "ian". "an" in French has a specific pronunciation.
Try this, hopefully it will work:
