Best opening lines?

I'm wondering what the folks (male and female) here find the most appealing first messages on dating sites and what opening lines make you unlikely to respond.
I'll start. If someone starts out by saying something like "you sound interesting - I'm hoping to get to know you" I'm really likely to respond. If, on the other hand, they start out with something like "hi, gorgeous. You're really beautiful." I don't respond. It's more about the accuracy (or lack thereof) of statements on my appearance than the fact that I'd hope someone would want to go beyond the superficial.
What about you?

I can never think of anything that doesn't sound like a line, so l don't message anyone.

I wouldn't have any offhand but anything witty that's likely to open up a friendly conversation is good

I usually respond to jokes, interesting observations, weird unexpected comments or cute misspellings of "Hey".
I don't do the type that open with something you would hear at a church door.
People that open with how our signs are compatible.
Strange off-topic unexplained gifs.
Women that want relationships that move way too fast.
