Seriously, what makes anyone think this approach works? Just, "hi". It's not as offensive as some of the others, but probably about as effective. Could he possibly have put any less effort into contacting me? If he made any less effort, he's just be a drive-by - y'know, where you just look at the profile and move on. After all the work I put into my profile, to explain the important aspects of who I am, to help us both not waste our time by weeding out those clearly incompatible, this is the amount of effort he extends to me? Hi.
I've already put forth more effort into him, specifically, than he bothered to put into me, what with this rant and all. I bet he gets complaints a lot from his exes that he doesn't show them his feelings or that the relationships feel one-sided.
And, because this is essentially the exact same thing, I'm pasting it here rather than making another entry for it:
