What's the best headline you've seen on someone's dating profile?

Missy, Watertown, N.Y. Missy, 24, Watertown, N.Y.
"I have no life." I just thought it was funny, 'cuz the guy was really cute and looked interesting. So, I checked out his profile, and his personal description wasn't much more intriguing. But, I still felt like he was just being sarcastic and that there was something interesting about this guy after looking at his pictures. So, I emailed him and found out that he was a really cool guy and was involved in all sorts of adventurous things. Right now, he's going through the process to join the Army Special Forces.
Sharena, Placentia, Calif. Sharena, 34, Placentia, Calif.
"Blah, Blah, Blah."
Dena, Jonesboro, Ga. Dena, 50, Jonesboro, Ga.
"Hmmmm.... Cyber Dating......I'll give it a try.... "
Marilyn, Palm Desert, Calif. Marilyn, 54, Palm Desert, Calif.
"Hot and Humble and ready to rumble"
Gloria, Rochester, N.Y. Gloria, 50, Rochester, N.Y.
"If_U_R_Hot_I_M_D_1_4_U" (Needless to say, I didn't respond.)
Diane, Las Vegas, Nev. Diane, 53, Las Vegas, Nev.
"No brag -- just fact." It's a line that John Wayne used in one of his movies. When I first heard it, I was impressed by it and have used it on many an occasion. So when I read it online, I had to know what the guy was like. Hmmm, let me put it this way, he was no John Wayne.
Mike, Sea Bright, N.J. Mike, 29, Sea Bright, N.J.
"Pick me. Pick me"
Frank, Brandon, Fla. Frank, 25, Brandon, Fla.
Without a doubt the best headline I have ever seen was, "I scoop poop." I think the girl worked at a zoo or something.
Pat, Brandon, Fla. Pat, 35, Brandon, Fla.
I can't recall a specific headline, but words like "sexy," "athletic," "artistic," "beach," and "fit" always seem to grab my attention for a closer look!
Robert, Mill Valley, Calif. Robert, 52, Mill Valley, Calif.
"Aquila Non Capit Muscas" -- "The Eagle Catches Not Flies"
Trevor, Boise, Idah Trevor, 30, Boise, Idaho
"I need a miracle." Kind of sad, but it caught my eye!
Alan, 29, Long Beach, Calif. Alan, 29, Long Beach, Calif.
"75 model for lease with option to buy"
Beth, San Antonio, Texas Beth, 30, San Antonio, Texas
"Looking for my Princess" (since I like to be treated like a Princess!)
Arnold, Fair Oaks, Calif. Arnold, 57, Fair Oaks, Calif.
"Last Redhead Before Freeway!"
Lei,  Broomfield, Colo. Lei, 40, Broomfield, Colo.
"Looking to make it last"
Will, Glendale, Calif. Will, 58, Glendale, Calif.
(1) "Is this thing on?," (2) "Emma Peel sans Steed," and (3) "Lip Trader"
Cindy, Juno Beach, Fla. Cindy, 49, Juno Beach, Fla.
"I know you are out there?" is one of my favorites. Another one is "Lightning looking for Thunder." There are so many good ones.
Rick, Parker, Colo. Rick, 50, Parker, Colo.
Let's Don't Play Games." However, after corresponding a couple times we made a date to go hiking -- she stood me up!
Cathy, Moorpark, Calif. Cathy, 46, Moorpark, Calif.
I really don't remember, but I tend to gravitate to the positive headlines rather than the "rescue me" type headlines.
Ed, Yarmouth, Iowa Ed, 40, Yarmouth, Iowa
I've seen some cute ones, but nothing really stands out as the "best." Oh, one good one was, "Goldilocks searching for 'Just Right'"
Michael, Sacramento, Calif. Michael, 45, Sacramento, Calif.
The best one so far has got to be "Looks like Ginger, Cooks Like Marianne!"
Nancy, Scottsdale, Ariz. Nancy, 49, Scottsdale, Ariz.
I have yet to see it, although I recently saw one that said, "Ugly but Honest" and his posted age was 49. In the first line in his profile he admitted to lying about his age!
Mike, Virginia Beach, Va. Mike, 42, Virginia Beach, Va.
"Let's get started"
Kerry, New York, N.Y. Kerry, 32, New York, N.Y.
"Drunk by 9..."
Cindy, Miami, Fla. Cindy, 30, Miami, Fla.
"An Officer & a Gentleman." When I saw the heading, I thought back to my Richard Gere days. That is by far one of my favorite flicks!
Morgan, 54, Louisville, Ky. Morgan, 54, Louisville, Ky.
"Hey it said enter Headline."
Lee, Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Lee, 56, Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
One of the 2005 Real People in my "boomer" group, Robert, uses this headline, "The odds are good, but the goods are odd." Such a funny play on words, and immediately told me that this man has a great sense of humor, which is such a turn on. It was the "hook" that had me read his entire profile. Even though we live on opposite coasts, we are still corresponding.
Tina, Tampa, Fla. Tina, 35, Tampa, Fla.
"JUST ME..." How genuine and to the point is that?
David, Hampton, Va. David, 29, Hampton, Va.
I saw "sexy muffin hot lovin'," not the one for a low-carb guy like me. Then again, I really like blueberry muffins!
Deshae, West Covina, Calif. Deshae, 28, West Covina, Calif.
I haven't seen the best one yet, but mine is up there, "jus chillin"
Nikki, San Diego, Calif. Nikki, 30, San Diego, Calif.
"Livelikeitsyourlastday1"
Michelle, Manteca, Calif. Michelle, 34, Manteca, Calif.
"Sugarnips: Sweet as sugar..."
Matilda, Jonesboro, Ga. Matilda, 41, Jonesboro, Ga.
"Of Course.... This is Gonna Hurt!"
