I don't blame you for throwing the disgusting ones out right away, and I don't know why anyone would think talking like that will work. But I think part of the reason for all of the "heys" is that a lot of people don't fill out their profiles very well, and because of that, it's hard to really start a conversation with them. There aren't any likes, interests, thoughts, ideas, or opinions to go on, let alone to know if any of them are mutual or interesting. There isn't even any indicator of the person's personality, how they think or talk, and so on. You have to hope there are some clues in the pictures, but if there aren't, it's hard to find a good starting point. Sometimes people say that they don't want to say too much because they fear they won't have anything to talk about, but it's also hard to talk about when people essentially make others guess what they are interested in by not saying much. Personally I would fill in more details instead of less, because that increases the chances of finding common ground right away.
Obviously, I mainly look at women's profiles and I see this a lot. And while I don't look at men's as much - only to get an idea of the competition - I'm sure there's a lot of guys who also neglect to fill their profiles out. I think it's a people issue instead of a gender one - everyone's lazy!
