Here's my thing with okcupid, unless there is something that really sparks me about their profile that I have to mention in my message to them, I'm strictly a, "Hi (insert username), my name is (insert real first name), how's it going?"

When they respond then we can talk a little more into details. However, I'm not a cut and paste guy. I actually will write out my short "hello" message.

Lol Think of it as fridge love poetry!! Hey, <pet name>, what's your sign? You're so hot that !!!111. How about you and me test the laws if nature? me and we'll go: !! Please dress scantily and be partially drunk before the date starts. Hope to <see/screw/ravage/wrestle/nibble> you soon!!

Your Future Mistake,

Me!!

Seriously, I've gotten into sorta generic messages too. Boredom, repetition, the sometimes impersonal nature of the Net, previous generic responses from gals, or rejections, fake ads up to your eyes, etc., condition you to be a dork. I vouch for that but usually end up having cool female friends (not gf's) when I'm witty & nice. Maybe I should be rude and call em toots more often lol! I'm not blaming you for not being bored or a bit jaded/in a rut. Avoid it please, it's a crappy or rather humorous feeling, or both, when you figure out you just said something really lame. You've got heart so I'm not worried nor do I condemn. It's like a crippled ole codger blaming the youngin for enjoying their youth. Actually it's wonderful to see you so alive. I'm not that bitter yet! :P Better luck next time. Maybe add "witty and sincere effort makes me ovulate for my future mate." lol
