Riiiiiiiight, I'm back 
So, Harry my man I completely know what you mean about the bloke-aspect of them. But again there's 2, maybe 3 types...and I've spotted this on MySpace, which is as near as dammit a dating site anyway....
You get the muscle-clad ugly feckers who's sole life experience is gym>work>gym>work>gym>work (and, importantly, they say that in the profile; must mention that, oh yes).
You get the genuinely nice guys that have had someone take a photo or two of them, they say an awful lot about themselves (sometimes that's good, sometimes it's not)...but they have spent time on their profile, that's for sure...to most girls searching internet sites (when all of a sudden they think they're premiiership footballer material) they get brushed over, they look too nice.
The final ones are, what I like to affectionately call, the c
ts. No more explanation needed.

Typical Internet Dating Profile:
About Me
I'm a dull, shallow and somewhat desperate girl who describes herself using the exact same set of adjectives every other girl on this site uses. You can take your choice as to whether I'm astonishingly plain, or have a wide range of personality "issues" which I'll reveal on an ongoing and infinite basis. I can also give you a combination of both
.
Who I'm Looking For
I've spent the past ten years being abused by utter bastards, so I'm looking for yet another bastard in the naïve hope that this time round it won't end with my already shattered self-esteem being ground further into dust. Please note that if you sound even slightly like a "nice" guy, don't bother contacting me - I refuse to acknowledge that the previous decade of relationship misery may have anything in the slightest to do with my choice of men.
My Dream Date
My dream date is, of course, the £25,000 white wedding I've been planning since I was eight years old. The exact date for this, the complete invitation list and in fact every last detail are already set in stone, so don't think you can change anything or, indeed, not spend hours hearing about it every single time you see me.
My Hobbies
I love dragging you around shops you hate, obsessing over footwear, and banging on endlessly about how I saved 58p in Tesco by purchasing dented cans and items past their best before date - a frugality I will be surprisingly loathe to demonstrate when it's your money being spent.
Favourite Films and Music
I like almost anything so shallow and vapid that it makes you want to stove your head in against the television/radio receiver just to make it stop. Coincidentally I also have an extreme dislike for anything you've ever bought, will buy, or even merely tolerate.
You Should E-Mail Me If
You haven't realised that putting your balls in a vice for a week would be more enjoyable, less messy and far quicker.
Photos
< Five year old, pre-"Comfort Food" photograph >
< Professional studio photoshop & airbrush effort >
< Photograph of similar-looking but more attractive sister >
Age Three years older than I've admitted to.
Height Statistical outlier.
Shape Unrealistically optimistic category.
Smoker No. (Meaning yes).

Disclaimer: I gather it's far better these days than when this was written, now that Internet dating is a bit more "normal" and a bit less, "can't get a date anywhere else". I've yet to meet someone who's used it successfully, though.

If these guys are such great catches why are they having to resort to internet dating in the first place?
Not actually a valid point – iDatingTM is no longer the preserve of the desperate. My friend Sophie, who I wrote the profile for, is an attractive, stylish and successful woman. She’s sexy too – I have been there myself on quite a few occasions in the past, and I don’t do mooses (unless I’m drunk, when I may have, er, made some errors of judgement in the past).
Did you write in the reference - "I've shagged her loads, but she's not quite good enough for me" or is she a total arm loser?
:lmao:
Never really thought of her in that way, but she was a good bonk to pass rainy evenings with when both single. Not someone I would fall for though – never had that ‘chemistry’. Far from an arm loser, bless her.

Hmmm, I've been thinking about interweb dating myself. I had a poke round that site Harry's on about and tbh there were too many things that set my bunny boiler alarm off. Firstly, pretty much every girl I looked at was really, really fit.
?????
You need to stop drinking, chap!
hmmm, lets see
Been around the block several times, probably got a kid or two..
Physco bitch from hell, will take all your money, friends, dignity and testicles.
Enjoy.
Hmmm, looks sweet enough, probably a primary school teacher.
Clingy over-emotional crybaby no doubt!

Timberwolf - insanely funny, and gets A :ROFL:
But a touch of the cynic/recently burned there...?
Feeling a bit sorry regarding the abuse Charlie’s getting, by the way; not sure that ridiculing someone’s entry on a dating website is fair game chaps. Tonker’s rather harsh comments were needlessly cruel. Somewhat reminiscent of a fat man who’s found love and can now sneer at others.
She could still leave you Tonks. For me.
