I like these kinds of experiments, mainly because it does show how entitled women have become conditioned to be. When women say that they are getting nothing but dick pics, boring messages, and crude messages on dating sites don't believe them. I was on /r/okcupid for a while, and learned quickly not to follow the advice from the men or the women there, the men there are mostly deluded by the women there.
Essential reading:
But what I did learn from /r/okcupid was from the men there who told the rest that their profiles/messages were working, they were getting a lot of interest and a decent number of replies.
Here's basically the untold advice for online dating:
Locale is everything. You can't really compare the amount of interest different profiles are getting unless they are in comparable locales. Being in a top-ten city in the United States like NYC is a gold mine for men. Anywhere else, you obviously need to use online dating as a supplement to real life encounters.
Your picture is 80% of your profile. Women will chime in en mass to say how they are looking for a funny profile or whatever, but here's the thing: Delete every photo of you that isn't a great picture of you. Your pictures should be interesting. No self-shots, mirror shots, or dull pictures of you posing for the camera on vacation. Interesting profile pictures are actually uncommon pictures. For instance, a lot of guys are putting pictures of them skydiving. Guess what, you probably don't want to put that picture up if it's becoming cliche.
Your profile should provoke an emotional reaction. One guy on /r/okcupid was getting lots of interest and messages, and it was because his profile was funny. If you can't do funny, do something else. If your life is tragic, put tragedy in your profile. Look, you're not going to appeal to every woman no matter how you write your profile, but tragic is better than boring. The mistake is taking the profile literally and simply writing about yourself. In fact, the less information you actually put on your profile the better.
In your messages, make sure to adopt a screening frame. Basically, you need to know what you're looking for. You seem "desperate" only to the degree that you seem to be "looking for anything". Pretend you didn't see her profile, and know nothing about her, and you're trying to figure out if you actually want to meet her. Also pretend you're looking for a long term partner. Be willing to break rapport and even reject her. I didn't have any luck on POF until I rejected a few women on there to really calibrate right.

Yeah, I agree that online dating sucks for men, and it is degrading.

I meet lots of girl online. I admit they're not as hot as I meet IRL, but many of them are quite attractive.
Edit to add: I met my (now ex-)wife on Match.com

Naw, I know guys all over who do well. The trick is to make your profile attractive and send short messages that mention something in their profile. Girls aren't looking for penises, they're looking for a man.

Can you give me an example locale? I know guys who do very well in New York, Los Angeles and London.

This is not a valid experiment. This kind of thing doesn't happen on OkCupid. Post an ad on Craigslist if you want to see dick pics.
I've gotten good results on Craigslist by posting a cool photo and promising not to send dick or ab pics.
