One-liners

Sometimes the men who respond to my ads baffle me.  I'll take some time crafting a statement about who I am and what makes me tick, and then I'll get a one line response.  Maybe it's a way for these men to suss out which ads are real and which are posted by bots.  But really?  One line?  That's supposed to entice me how?

They aren't even gems.  If they were witty or offbeat, I might be more inclined to give them a pass.  But they aren't.

don't act dumb just remain silent ! you sound tall?

This was in response to ad #3, so I get the "don't act dumb" part.  But be silent?  Is that akin to the old admonition that women and children ought not speak until spoken to?  No thanks.  And I sound tall?  How does someone "sound" tall?  Funny you should think so, as I stand not even 5'2" tall.  Oops.

Hi how's your evening going I know it's late just looking for someone to chat to. I'm str8 not creepy like some people out their.

Ah.  But isn't it always the case that if you have to tell someone you're not creepy, you probably are?  And are you "str8" as in not gay?  Or "str8" as in okay with how things are going?  Or some other "str8"?  The real problem, though, is that your grammar and spelling is all messed up.  I might have been a little more forgiving if only you'd taken the time to edit.  It would have taken 2 seconds.  Honest.  (Watch how easy it is.  "Hi.  How's your evening going?  I know it's late, but I'm just looking for someone to chat with.  I'm straight, not creepy like someone people out there."  See?) 

That was a cute story - Hope you find your luck.

Well, me too.  Are you hoping to be it?  Because if so, I'm going to need a little more to go off here, buddy.  A little effort?  Please?  Is that too much to ask?
