... I've gotten have all started off with 'what do you look like'? 'Can you send a picture'?
They really don't give a shit what you're like as a human being if you're not photogenic, and if you are attractive, the next responses will be 'wanna hook up?' and 'what do you like in bed'?

I hate to be Debbie Downer but online dating is probably one of the worst things for loners to do because I think we tend to already be sensitive to people's opinions of us, and putting it out there online invites assholes who are only looking to get their freak on, or the perpetually 'empty inbox' because IMHO, people are alot more superficial than we tend to be.
