this is not true
what are you messaging? The ones I've replied to are the ones who say something different or ask something about something on the profile. Even people like me get loads of "Hi, you're pretty" messages, which are impossible to formulate a reply to

I'll copy'n'paste the last one, they're all along the same lines.
To some girl who wanted to live on a beach
The trouble with living on a tropical island is that they just aren't practical. Tropical climates are prone to heavy rain seasons. I once saw this show called "Lost" and it was about a group of people who survived and airplane crash on a tropical island, and although it looked fun in a lot of respects, I can't help but to feel I would miss Oriental take aways. I'm sure they have plenty of ingredients such as Mango and Coconut, and lots of fish, the occasional wild bore; and you can get Salt by leaving a shallow bucket of sea walter out in the sun, it would be lacking in ingredients such as Oil, which is essencial to most cooking. I think the sand would really start to piss me off too, it's fine if you're visiting a beach, but to live on it would be a real drag. It would be quite hard to wash your clothes, you can't do it in salt water, it ruiens cashmire. There would have to be some sort of fresh-water source close by, it's not that I drink Evion, but I quite like having access to tap water. In that show, 'lost', they find a submarine, but when ever I've been to tropical islands, the most I found while snorkling or scuba diving is bottles of coke.

My friend started a Dive School in Cyprus and bought a load of old cars to dump in the sea (after cleaning them up of any polutants) in the hope that they would turn into an interesting coral reef for punters to visit. It was just about 1/4 a mile out from Bogaz harbour between 5 and 10 meters depth. I'm pretty sure he actually did do this because I saw the photos and loads of friends saw him spend a week tugging the cars on his boat (he put floats in and around them). He took the GPS co'ords, did the land spots so he could have a visual identifier, was really careful. However, he forgot one important aspect of the ocean; tides and currents. I went diving with him about 5 times trying to find the cars, but we couldn't find any, not a single piece of evidance it ever happened. This was either the best prank in the world (eg, it was all a lie, there was no cars, and he got the fishermen at the harbour to lie too), or a really stupid mistake to make.

All in all, I think if I was going to be stranded on an island, Manhattan seems like a good one.

Anyway, 'Hi', I'm Paul, and that was either the world's worst, or the world's best, ice breaker. I sometimes waffle on.

Hello there !

I'm a published artist too, I was in the park and I took a photo with my camera phone, I changed the setting on the camera from "Flash" to "No Flash" and then plonked it into Photoshop and added a lens flair, then got the magic lasso tool and cut out my subject with it (it was a rusty can of coke) and added a gaussin blur on the foreground (don't worry, I used the feather on the lasso), and added a deep and meaningful lyrics in a font that wasn't comic-sans and changed the blending mode, I can't remember what the lyric was but I think it was from that punk-rock band "Blink 182" (circa Enemy Of The State). It was from their song 'Adams Song', and went "Please tell mum this is not her fault". I put it on Flickr and they didn't take it down so I guess I'm published now. I went to print a copy of but I had run out of blue ink and it didn't print out right, but I signed it anyway as a frist edition print. I plan to do a limited edition run of 23 of them (I used up a couple of sheets of kodak glossy paper when I forgot it was still in the tray while printing out picture of pugs in hats).

Anyway, you seem pretty cool, it'll be ace to hear back from you, even if it's not a positive response, just so I can tick the box on my Todo list that says "Get reply from someone awesome"; it's just between "Get multi-pack of galaxy ripple" and "Look into practicalities of starting up Jurassic Park in Enfield Town; must check copywrite issues".

Apparently I'm a slow dancer....
Steady, reliable, and cradling her tenderly. Take a deep breath, and let it out real easy...you are The Slow Dancer
Your focus is love, not sex, and for your age, you have average experience. But you’re a great, thoughtful guy, and your love life improves every year. There’s also a powerful elimination process working in your favor: most Playboy types get stuck raising unwanted kids before you even begin settling down. The women left over will be hot and yours. Your ideal woman is someone intimate, intelligent, and very supportive.
While you’re not exactly the life of the party, you do thrive in small groups of smart people. Your circle of friends is extra tight and it’s HIGHLY likely they’re just like you. You appreciate symmetry in relationships.
