I just tried to delete my profile, but something went wrong, and now I have an extant profile that I am not able to access and/or delete. Thanks, Okcupid!

There are plenty of the Nigerian scam things going on through some dating sites, which hardly adds to its plausibility, but this one didn't hint in that direction at all. It seemed a genuine profile and real personal message.

Why has this girl constantly her right arm behind her head? It looks like she's going to stab you.

So you can spell her armpit

I have now deleted my profile. I could not face the guilt of not replying to another message.

OK, so how does this here thing work?

I've been clicking through photos for ten minutes and haven't found one single dirty dronerock boy yet. :-(

Wait, I stand corrected. I have found my dream man, but he lives in Canada. Typical!

1 month passes...

Do we all still do this? I decided to update my profile.

This guy is currently stranger arranged with the OKCupider I've fallen rather strongly in love with. Look at his favourite bands list.

ie This person has been linked up via the new "stranger arranger" feature with the okcupid user Dom has taken a fancy to.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 21 October 2004 18:32 (8 years ago) Permalink

Oh, I didn't know there was a such thing as the stranger arranger. I just thought someone was high.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 21 October 2004 18:41 (8 years ago) Permalink

Well, that too.

I've been playing on okcupid a lot lately. There are lots of funny tests now and there's pretty girls on there who are interesting and stuff.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 21 October 2004 18:48 (8 years ago) Permalink

agreed, some of these girls are going to be total catches when they grow up

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 21 October 2004 18:52 (8 years ago) Permalink

I have too, recently.

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 21 October 2004 18:53 (8 years ago) Permalink

hey you know the picture rating thing that doesn't really seem to do much? did you guys know that there's a secret 'hot' list that they only tell you about if you're on it?

― Kim (Kim), Friday, 22 October 2004 00:25 (8 years ago) Permalink

Kim, shhh!

― Paul Eater (eater), Friday, 22 October 2004 01:01 (8 years ago) Permalink

oh yeah right, it's "top secret". I'd better watch my back.

― Kim (Kim), Friday, 22 October 2004 01:04 (8 years ago) Permalink

Astonishingly I didn't know about that, but Kim did - how extraordinary!

Oh goodness, I thought I was the only ilXor to have one of these. I thought the rest would stay away. I'm dead wrong.

The complete list is here:

Number #2358 is YOU. We compile this thing every night, and you could move up or down, depending on who's born.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 23 May 2005 21:01 (7 years ago) Permalink

Congratulations, Andrew! I am just relieved I haven't had a "Commiserations. You have been chosen for the 'Cold List' - you are currently one of the 2500 least desirable people in the world."

So yeah, am I the only ILXor still using OKC? The quality of my matches has increased exponentially in the past few weeks, yay me.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:12 (7 years ago) Permalink

Is it worth signing up?

― Alec Tea-Skirt (kate), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:15 (7 years ago) Permalink

I am on there but it's largely useless due to my lack of ability to fill in a profile.

― tissp! (the impossible shortest specia), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:15 (7 years ago) Permalink

I've not looked in ages, i've received a few mails lately but they've been binned unopened.

― leigh (leigh), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:16 (7 years ago) Permalink

no one ever replies to my messages :(

(but then again my profile is representative of some weird dude who cuts himself)

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:17 (7 years ago) Permalink

haha xpost i bet i sent you one of those leigh

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:18 (7 years ago) Permalink

It is worth signing up, but probably only if you're actually looking for a partner. It's too much effort to just find "friends", to be honest. And you need to answer at least 1,000 questions for your results to be of any use, but then again, office boredom will see that pass in about three hours.

I recommend it.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:18 (7 years ago) Permalink

Actually, I was on it last year. And I met exactly one dude. Who, coincidentally, actually had ginger hair and a pointy nose. But it just kind of fizzled out. Mainly because I wasn't feeling very pro-sex or pro-relationship at all.

― Alec Tea-Skirt (kate), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:19 (7 years ago) Permalink

I've looked back at my deleted mail and they seem to consist of geeky guys in their early 20s with awful taste in music and a fondness for Terry Pratchet.

― leigh (leigh), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:24 (7 years ago) Permalink

Now I remember why I deleted my profile... just couldn't be bothered to return any emails. Sigh. I liked the taking tests bit, though.

― Alec Tea-Skirt (kate), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:26 (7 years ago) Permalink

I do love how it's got my personality down pat:

Compared to males his age:

He's sloppier
He's less trusting
He's cruder
He's less organized
He's greedier
He's more independent
He's more introverted

Don't all rush at once girls.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:29 (7 years ago) Permalink

stop boasting about not bothering to reply to mail(male) please! dammit i'd be lucky to have any to reply to. :\\

although i actually met up with a girl from there one time (way way back from when it all started though). I wonder if okcupid has lost the momentum.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:31 (7 years ago) Permalink

I used to get lots of mail when I signed in last spring, but nowadays, nothing. I also met a girl through OKCupid who turned out to be a bit scary, and that got me off it for awhile. But I rechecked it a while ago, and now I've exhchanged mails with someone interesting. Most of my top matches in Finland seem to be Goths and roleplayers, I'm not sure why.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Saturday, 6 August 2005 12:17 (7 years ago) Permalink

I just changed my profile a little bit and now a million people are trying to IM me. I guess that's the secret.

― Cathy (Cathy), Saturday, 6 August 2005 13:15 (7 years ago) Permalink

i'm going to change my profile to say i'm female to see if my IMs shoot up.

p.s. i just got a woo!

It is worth signing up, but probably only if you're actually looking for a partner. It's too much effort to just find "friends", to be honest.

Funnily enough, I only seem to be finding friends and not partners. Then again, I'm far too bewildering for 99.9% of Tallahassee. I've met one girl on there and we played Uno on a deck at a local lake but it wasn't romantic in any sense. I actually ran into the girl at a concert on Wednesday and after we figured out who we were we didn't speak to each other for the rest of the evening, but personally I was intimidated because she brought along a friend who gave me one really funny look and that kept me from saying more.

It's just another of those half-hearted things I signed up to, just to do the tests really - I can never really think of anything much to say if I get rare email or whatever.

― jel -- (jel), Saturday, 6 August 2005 16:53 (7 years ago) Permalink

i was really into taking the tests for about a week and after that i lost interest/forgot about it completely until this thread.
