Best of the Worst: Online profile, or advertisement?

The economy is bad. I get it. No one has as much money as they once did, and everyone has to make a buck somehow. Most people have a supplemental income - whether it's a direct selling business, or a second job - or ads on a blog *ahem*.

But on your online dating profile?

I know it's still the internet, and I know in a lot of ways, it's a very cheesy, silly way to meet people. But I still think you should treat it with some dignity. Complete sentences, proper spelling....

Not selling anything to people until you've at least said hello first....

Any P90X'rs on here? I have been on a health and fitness journey for a few months now and feeling and looking better than I ever had in my entire life! After seeing the P90X comercial for about the millionth time on Tv I decided to order the program and since I have committed to the program, I have gotten awesome results! I did it originally because I wasn't feeling my best and knew if I didn't make a change in my poor habits now, my health would not be good in my "golden years" but haveing been in the program for a while now, I am totally hooked on fitness! Here is my website! I can help you achieve your health and fitness goals. Please look around my site, and if you have any questions, click the "Contact me" button...
*************************
I am looking for someone who has the same outlook as I do and is into health and fitness and is willing to encourage others that want to lose weight and get into shape. If that is you, I would love to hear from you. but if you are not interested in dating but want to get started on a journey to lose weight and get into shape, I really want to hear from you too! So C'mon! What are you waiting for? I once wieghed 198 lbs and am now 163 lbs! Every great adventure starts with a single step forward.....Take that step with me.....
In case you're curious, this guy actually clicked on the "meet me" feature and indicated that he'd like to meet me, which triggers a notification - which is how I found this profile. If you know me, then you know this is not who I am. I am not now, nor will I ever be, a "P90Xer;" I'm not into fitness, and even if I was, it wouldn't be something I'd share with others. 


I assume this guy viewed me as a "potential customer" and is using my dating profile as a way to get more business. I couldn't possibly be more offended or turned off by that - so it's not a tactic I'd recommend. 


And Mr. P90X won't be meeting me any time soon.
