what i love about online personals...

...that they tell you their age/height/race in their profile bio even though it is there in the basic stats of your profile - meaning you should write something other than what's there

...that they are looking for someone stable(mentally) - I've seen this on more than one profile...as opposed to what? Are there people out there who prefer someone unstable?

...people who type their entire profile in CAPS - Morons

...people who send you a long drawn-out (4-paragraph) email the first time they write you - why invest all that when you don't even know if the person's interested. Try an ice-breaker instead like hi, like your profile, etc.

...stalkers, I mean, people who check out your profile every day but never send you emails

Yes, but I hate the ice-breaker emails that only say 'hi' without giving me something to help start the conversation. It feels like that is a step above a stalker. Bold enough to message, not bold enough to actually say anything.

Yeah, those I usu send another ice-breaker in return and see if they actually have something to say after that :)
