I mean how does a man say hello and convey his interest in a woman on POF of all places and not sound like some player, Viking or some other undesirable. I’d like to tell you how beautiful but not have it sound like some sort of one liner. What I seek is companionship and a partnership I don’t seek to date numerous woman or have meaningless relationship’s. Im mature, fun and laid back if I sound like someone you’d like to get to know message me back.hope.to hear from you.”

He messaged me on OKCupid.
If one is trying to avoid having things sound like one-liners, one should avoid obviously cutting and pasting one’s opening gambit.
