What's in a (Screen)Name?

When you're looking at someone'e online dating profile, you should take in as much information as possible...look at their pictures (obviously), read what they wrote, AND, look at their screen name. Names like "BadBoy001" or "Mother'sNightmare" should tell you something. First, it should tell you they're not too bright! Second, well, just run for the hills.
I was contacted (several times) by a guy with a screen name of "NotSoSmart". I can say, at least he was honest! His emails always consisted of one word and, on occasion, a punctuation mark. The word was, "Hi". That's it! Nothing more, nothing less. Tired of dealing with not so smart guys, he eventually got himself blocked by me.

Takeaway lesson: Find a screen name that doesn't hurt your chances!
