A few more contacts. You may see a pattern developing...

"I too find roast beef Monster Munch a fantastic food group,
Sharks? (If I could swim, I would probaly not due to fear of being eaten, after watching Jaws as a child).

"thought i would drop by and say hi...you profile is good..you must like humour as thats what comes across when i read it....would be really nice to chat with you...."


"Did you have a good weekend?

"How are you?x"


"how u doing" - please note, this is his second Joey-style email: now being blocked.


"hello how are you"


" Hi there, how are you?"


" interesting statement im intrigued nice picture to. hi im ---- xxx"


"Hey...How are you?"


"Any chance for a chat? or would "being polish" be a big "no-no"?:)"


"hi just thought i would say hi how are you?"


"hiya. how are you. that's a lovely photo you have on your profile."


"hi! not sure what to type when meeting some one new do you have any pointer's?"


"was just reading your profile and you sound really sweet was wondering would you fancy gettin to know each other.........."


"Hey, still alive? Hope so, then we can chat."


"Car ? Check that's such a random question
haha, hi I'm ----"


There is a definite trend to asking if we can "chat". Top tip - maybe if you suggest something to chat about, or actually start a conversation, I might? Also, as noted before, just saying "hi" is not really a great approach to creating a conversation.
And if I don't reply to your first email, the next 4 aren't going to encourage me to think you're normal, you're sadly mistaken.

So, if you want to contact any of these chaps, I can put you in touch...don't all rush at once now, gals!

  1. Wow, lots of people really don't know how to spell. Or what capital letters and full stops are for. Never tried dating sites, but I'm pretty sure lack of proper grammar, spelling and punctuation would make it an immediate "no" from me! Harsh maybe, but if you can't take the time to proof read your messages then we're really not going to get along!

    Hope you've had some normals too by the way :)

  2. You should wordle this - or whatever that new one is that's like wordle but better. I'm seeing big words for "monster munch" "beef" "chat" and "serial killer". Oh yeah "sharks" also.

  3. @woodsiegirl I am pretty harsh - unless they're REALLY interesting, bad grammar = delete :)
    Normals are very, very thin on the ground!

    @Neil At least those ones picked up some aspects of my random profile! Wordle...hmmm....that may be my next post :)

  4. Can't you shove an RSS feed from the dating site through Yahoo Pipes and apply some kind of search criteria, so you output only men with an IQ above 100? Or even 85? 85 would be a start, right?

    Yours despairingly (and over-obsessing with librarianing stuff too late at night).

  5. @sarah I'm determinedly sticking with a desire for an IQ in double figures. That seems to rule out most men online though.

  6. You should give Soulmates a go, the average I! is higher (or at least supposed to be), but you may get the typically smug Guardian reader instead of the semi-literate.

    Have you thought of giving good old-fashioned real life a go?

  7. @randomtarget I did give Soulmates a go last year, but there were a lot of po-faced people on there. And some oddies too.

    I try real life, I try online - I'll try anything, but am pretty much at the not bothered any more point now: fed up putting effort into trying, so just gonna sit back and see where life takes me now.
