		<description>Please don&#039;t diss old men ;), they get to date young women, go to bars and drive around in fast cars. What will you do when you&#039;re old? &lt;3. Hot flushes and the menopause! No thanks!

Regarding the copy/paste messaging thing; I&#039;ve messaged girls at stickam (just for a chat). Several commented on how surprising it was to get a decent message. Unfortunately most took it as an invitation to get naked, my plans for a fun conversation soon burned to a cinder :(. It seems pointless to write anything worth while on such sites if those are the received replies. If I signed up to dating sites I would expect the same behaviour as received at stickam. Perhaps other decent guys feel the same, leaving only the sex crazed &lt;strike&gt; stupid males that haven&#039;t worked out they&#039;d get what they wanted if they were smarter about it &lt;/strike&gt; to run rampant. 

Writing a profile about one&#039;s self would be quite difficult also. If you share emotion you&#039;re automatically &quot;emo&quot; etc. How you write something and intend for it to be read isn&#039;t the same as how it&#039;s interpreted. If you say you&#039;re smart, you&#039;re arrogant, etc etc. That&#039;s if someone bothers to read it and doesn&#039;t just look at your photo~ I believe that dating sites have the potential to work when decent men/women get there. I say potential because looking for things (fine specimen, car keys, CD you can&#039;t find etc) doesn&#039;t always return fruitful results, being patient does.</description>
