Its difficult to write a funny user name or profile headline in limited words.. And almost impossible in the situation where only half of it can be viewed the funny part gets left out..Its no help really when you actually have to click to see it..

But even with these disadvantages i used a funny line as my profile headline and i saw that the few people who would view my profile and forget about it contacted me to talk to me about the username…

To add to what you’ve already said about headlines, I’d urge all online daters to be aware of how many words of that first sentence appear in the initial screen (pre-click); because if you get to the funny/catchy part only on the screen that needs to be clicked to be viewed, there are many people who are probably going to miss it.

Even Evan’s line would suffer because of that; on Jdate, it would likely read;

“Funny guy with killer…”

…and online daters can only hope that is an adjective that modifies body or comedy or something else, and that it’s not a comment about his roommate.
