Online dating is a safe place for people to use cheesy lines without being laughed at by the opposite sex.
Only when online dating would a guy use the name "Sir Hugs A Lot," or use the tag line "Do you have a name? Or can I call you mine?"
Please!
But then again, at least "Sir Hugs A Lot" shows a little more personality than "Nice Guy 916."
Then there are the tag lines like: "Just trying this for fun" or "Are you the one?"
Whatever, Mr. Original. Do you put as much thought into your relationships as you do your profile?

Sometimes it's best to pick up people using cheesy lines with the intention of making them laugh. Otherwise, unacceptable.
I've never done the online dating thing, but I imagine there's a lot of pressure to come up with that one introduction line.... unless you have a really great picture, I guess.
The ability to say something coherent and original about oneself, or lack of it, is quite an efficient way of filtering potential mates, though, is it not? ;-)
MJ, there is a fine line between making someone laugh and turning someone off completely. It's like advertising, you only have a couple words to win someone over.
That's why I'm not really interested in online dating, because how can you judge someone on a cheesy tag line and a 40 word profile.
Coatman, it is an efficient filter. Maybe too efficient.
