About
Dating Site Murderer, sometimes known as “Good Intentions Axe Murderer”, is an advice animal image macro series based on a dimly lit photograph of a bearded Redditor. The captions typically employ the bait-and-switch scheme similar to the Successful Black Man series: the top line implies murderous intent, while the bottom line brings a twist of something innocuous and sweet.
Origin
On March 21st, 2011, Redditor spawn02000[9] posted a picture of himself to the WTF subreddit, titled "I uploaded my picture to a dating site… So far no hits… :(" [1] It received 1,965 upvotes and made the front page. On the next day, he posted a follow-up image titled "Ok so I changed the picture on the dating site, Still no hits… :("[2], which accumulated 1,265 upvotes. In terms of style, the series can be likened to Vengeance Dad and Karate Kyle which took off on 4chan only a few months prior to the emergence of Dating Site Murderer.
Spread
On March 22nd, a Quickmeme[3] page was created, kicking off the initial wave of image macros. In one of the earliest comments[10] on spawn0200's first image, the photo was captioned with a normal dating experience on the top line, with the bottom changing the sentence to appear as if he was going to murder someone. After several instances of this appeared in that comment thread, Redditor WhitakerBlackall suggested switching the pattern of the captions[11], creating the style that took off.
One of the first internet humor outlets to post a series of Dating Site Murderer images was men's humor site Guyism[12] on March 22nd. The next day, more instances were shared on Urlesque[4], pop culture site Next Round[13], and humor blog Blame It On The Voices.[14] It appeared on Memebase[5] and MSNBC[6] on March 24th before being front-paged on BuzzFeed[7] the next day. After seeing an AMA request thread[15] oh Reddit, spawn02000, who never revealed his real name, posted an Ask Me Anything thread[8] on September 29th, 2011. His OkCupid profile[16] still remains active, complete with the original photo.

I've seen a lot of them lately. +1
this is so epic!, +1 confirm!
+1 confirm
There's been a lot of these on Memebase lately but so far, very few on 4chan… I've spotted it only twice in the last week. It may be because its sort of unrelated to most threads(except serial killers threads, but I only saw one of this meme even in such threads)
It looks more like a forced meme to me.

I died a little inside.
+1 Confirm! This is three shades of awesome.
+1 confirm. Too funny

At last…one of the few decent Advice Animals gets confirmed.
One of the better memes to come out of Reddit.
He looks like Brian Wilson from the San Francisco Giants.
I'M GOING TO SKEWER YOU
SOME MARSHMALLOWS TO COOK OVER THE FIRE.
I'M GONNA FUCKING DESTROY YOU
…No, seriously. I'm about to kill you.
I remember this being one of the first memes I really liked. Nice.
I WILL KILL YOU…
-r Dinner right now, let me get my shotgun, and I will have a couple of ducks here by sun down.
It might be that I'm just bad with faces, but for the longest time, I thought that that person was Al from home improvement.
when i read the title i thought there was some black-widow-type serial killer that uses dating sites to find victims. obviously i was relieved to learn that this was an advice animal instead
>Reddit
I'm gonna kill you
why are you not running yet?
