I have clicked your profile, and, although I am a straight male, I will simply ignore your photos (somewhat unrealistically especially since I will instead fix an image in my mind: a mix of Jennifer Connelly & Rosario Dawson).

Here is a message that I might send the JC&RD version of you:

Hi. Saturday morning seems like an odd time to start a date, but homemade waffles can be really quite excellent. What sort of art projects do you have on deck right now and/or what sort of drawings have recently found their way into your sketchbook?

It seems our taste in music overlaps; incidentally, I've heard Wu-Tang is nothing to mess with. (I think the term was "mess"...) Sincerely, a pizza-liker

Okay.

If you think this is a terrible message, then please ignore. If you think it is, at the least, one that might elicit a profile view, then here is a detailed analysis of how I wrote the message (it took about 2 minutes to read your profile and write this):

Hi.

An informal greeting.

Saturday morning seems like an odd time to start a date, but homemade waffles can be really quite excellent.

By now you realize that I have read your profile. I hope that the first part of this sentence does not seem like a "neg"; rather, its purpose is to indicate that I am reading your profile with something of a critical eye, I have juxtaposed two items from a single sentence in a way that (I believe) will be received positively. I've also avoided exclamation marks, misspellings, and so forth; however, I tried to insert a subtle piece of humor by using a nonstandard construction: "really quite" rarely precedes "excellent" in a description.

What sort of art projects do you have on deck right now and/or what sort of drawings have recently found their way into your sketchbook?

Whereas the previous pull juxtaposed two items from a single sentence of yours ("Your perfect date starts with Saturday morning cartoons and home made waffles") the pull here unifies two different parts of your profile ("I always try and have a few art projects on the go" and "my sketchbook"). It asks a question -- in fact, it asks two questions. One reason that I put in two questions (separated by an "and/or") is that I harbor a slight concern that some people would rather keep the work in their sketchbooks private. Such a feature would make mentioning the sketchbook a bit strange, but I am hopeful that you would be willing to say something about at least one of the two questions. If not, I am prepared (as always) for their not to be a response at all.

It seems our taste in music overlaps; incidentally, I've heard that Wu-Tang Clan is nothing to mess with. (I think the term was "mess"...)

This is the final mention of your profile, and an area in which I indicate some sort of commonality. I tried to accomplish this by making a reference to Wu-Tang that goes outside of what was included explicitly in your profile; I also made another attempt at humor, since a Wu-Tang fan is likely aware of the song (and saying) Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing Ta Fuck Wit. Again: Maybe this joke falls flat, or maybe the reference doesn't get through; okay, I am truly at peace with not receiving a response.

Sincerely, a pizza-liker

Ending a first message with "Sincerely" is a bit formal, but I found it funny when juxtaposed with the term "pizza-liker." In this final piece, I have yet again reference your profile, and made an attempt at humor! If all of these references and attempt jokes are for naught, well, this really did take me about 2 minutes from opening your profile to writing the message. (Although writing out this analysis has taken a bit longer!) I am okay with losing 2 minutes for someone who looks potentially interesting.

I think that I could have gone straight from the word "sketchbook" to the "sincerely" portion; in fact, that slightly shorter message might have been better. But, okay, I'm writing this in live time and so I'll stick with the sample message and its analysis rather than changing it in retrospect.

There are no clear "tips" in this comment, but I hope seeing another person's thinking written out is helpful!
