    Agreed with the other commentator. It is extremely unlikely that Pangram’s success is due to its cheating by reading metadata.

    Jean Paul Sartre. Age 45. French. In an open relationship, wants to meet young women and explore their facticity within situation. Not at all conventionally good-looking, but a good conversationalist. Enjoys jazz and classic piano music, movies, and good cuisine. Likes to travel.
    Smokes. Impatient with bad faith, but respectful of freedom.

    SWM, 39, Spiritual, loves to travel. I have a good income, but do not value material things. Seeking the ideal woman. Must be willing to re-locate to Bermuda.

    Descartes:

    SWM, 44, seeks F. You are not dreaming, ladies, I am for real! (And I can prove it!) I love to meditate, and will respect you for your mind as well as your body. Please no phone calls before noon.

    Kierkegaard.

    SWM, 29, Danish and proud. University educated. Recently broke up with my fiancee. Could not take a leap of faith with her, but willing to try with another, preferably Christian, but living authentically is what counts most. Enjoys Mozart, coffee, reading, and taking long walks around the city. Dislikes fakes, frauds, and people without a healthy sense of angst about the future. Best regards, "Victor Eremita".

    CL Stevenson–

    SWM–21 (even if I look 47); handsome (by all accounts–trust me), intelligent, completely into you! If you want someone who will woo you by any means whatever, I'm your guy! Please let me persuade you that I'm what you have always been looking for even if you might think your attitudes may not match mine! Try me! You'll like me–guaranteed!

    Single, educated male, seeking excellent or incontinent woman for part-time, open relationship or mediocre, temperate woman for a good wife. Must be submissive and have capacity to find happiness in this role. Able to travel on a moment's notice a plus. Impulsive inquiries only.
