I get messages like this every fucking day. And every day, I ignore them. There's nothing at all that grabs my interest with this kind of message. I don't even bother looking at the person's profile more times than not. Why? For one, if this is the kind of effort you're going to put into someone's first impression of you, then how much effort will you put into a first date? Into sex? Into a relationship? Not much. That's the impression you're giving when you show no thought, no creativity, and absolutely no sign that you actually read my profile.
For two, I am often told by people that they would rather not send a lengthy message specific to the person they message if there is no guarantee they'll get a message back. Well, that tells me you're a complete fucking moron. No one wants a generic, small talk kind of message. It's unappealing and ridiculous especially when it's misspelled and no punctuation is used. If you're not interested in me as a person until I do the work to message you back, I don't have time for you, and any self-respecting person is going to feel the same way I do.
If you're serious about doing anything more than fucking someone, put in a little more time. Just one personalized sentence is all you need.
Your need for standards and lack of tolerance for mental incompetence or laziness is sexy. You're beautiful when you're indignant.
