Sifting Through More Messages

• hmmm.... a law student who also says Wife Swap and Trading Spouses are his guilty pleasures, BUT he's in Lansing.  Also profile raising a few red flags: under "The 6 things I could never live without" he lists: "Friends, family, pizza, my bed, and music" (I realize law students aren't the most mathematical but come on.) Deleted.
• Seems pretty clear that when OKCupid! is telling me "Y'all Got Issues" I should trust them. (For real -- usually on someone's profile it says "The 2 of you" and you can compare how alike you are, but for some really bad matches it says that.) Delete.
• I'm really not a snob about stuff like this, BUT one of the questions you can answer is ""Wherefore art thou Romeo!" What does "wherefore" mean in this context?" If you are going to answer this publicly you should make sure and get it right (hint: it doesn't mean "how"). Delete. Honestly wouldn't care if someone didn't know this -- just find it odd to answer the question if you don't know. Guess I am more intellectually insecure than he is.
• Deleting someone with the username "JihadJustin"
• Kind of feel bad about this, but absolutely have to delete a guy who admits to playing Magic the Gathering.
• Am not dating a 39 year old. 
• Some guy messaged me with a very long proposal about how the solution to the gay marriage issue is to make marriage a completely civil institution... He then says: "Even if you don't like me, I would seriously appreciate feedback on my idea before I use it in conversation"  Sorry buddy.
• Deleting a message that just makes me feel depressed after reading it. The subject is "I don't know where to start..." and the opening line is, "...honestly. I've done this so many times and with so little result. I know this is probably a terrible way to start a message, but it is the truth. I don't want to bore you to death so I'll just say that from your profile you seemed like a pretty cool person." You really should have gone with your first instinct, yes, that is a terrible way to start a message, and by simply calling attention to how terrible it is does not make it any less terrible.

Woohoo! I'm done clearing out my inbox. I have 13 messages left, some seem more promising than others and for the first time actually feel a little bit optimistic about the whole thing. (Some seemingly interesting guys got lost in the crowd.)
