Asking for a friend: Would you date this man?

Ladies and gents of Metafilter,

I have a dear friend who I think is totally awesome, but apparently no one on OkCupid agrees with me. He is having a hard time meeting up with anyone on that site, or getting anyone to respond to his messages.

As I said, I think he's cool. I read his profile and think, "I would totes date him!" But I might be biased. Are there things on his profile that are hurting his chances?

In case it's not clear from his profile, he is a straight male into ladies.

Finally, any other not-totally-obvious tips for getting dates are welcome.

Thanks, guys!

Not sure if this kind of question is kosher for AskMe, but, if it is, the first thing that strikes me: the picture is...odd.

Plus, describing one's self as a "hooker with a heart of gold"? Not sure where to go with that.

Maybe this guy has a quirky sense of humor that you know well but it doesn't play well to strangers on the internet. Online dating is a marketing game and you need to brand yourself well to appeal to people.
