Profiles - Reading a Book by its Cover

Sometimes it surprises me what people put in their profiles.  I've found "Filthypuppydog" and "Smokesalot".  Not sure what type of response they're expecting - or what they're getting for that manner.

With very little information to go on - it is important that what is in your profile makes a good impression - and grabs the reader, making them want to know more.  There is a time for honesty - but not right up front.  I came across this profile today:
"Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life"

I don't think he needs to be on a dating site - rather  he needs professional help, which I sincerely hope he gets.
