Just when you thought it was safe - OK CUPID PART 3: The Return of the WOO!

women's, men's or both?

we're gonna stop talking about my situation because I rather hear yall's OK CUPID stories from now on (and I hadn't planned on talking so much about this in the first place. I fail at being 100% open to everyone about anything - it's a personality trait of mine that led to a much longer board exchange than it should have been.. and it also led me to talking to this girl in the first place)

honestly though, estela, tehresa, and the other girls reading this: would you be scared if a guy said you are pretty in an introductory e-mail off a dating site?

it depends on what else the guy said, honestly.

are you a girl too?

a girl sockpuppet, yes

xp I always thought you are a boy kinda like the German dude I knew named Sasha. Maybe you come off as a boy?

what sarahel said, but no, not immediately.
if that is ALL they said, i'd probably be annoyed and not interested.

me & harbl:

damn I would put my hand in that sockpuppet

^ the wrong way to go about it

well the problem is I only want to put my hand in sockpuppets that don't seem interested in me

xpost - if it were just "hey you're pretty" i probably wouldn't bother replying, if he said other stuff that could start a conversation it could be fine though. it's not a SCARY statement.

i agree that you shouldn't go out with people you're fairly sure you won't be interested in, but it seems to me the bigger issue here is giving out a lot of personal information all at once to someone you're fairly sure you won't be interested in. maybe it's because i'm female and trained into paranoia, but i'd be careful with that even if i felt more excited about the person.

the other issue here is that, if you said you were interested in meeting friends, why it's such a big deal to hang out w/ someone you don't want to fuck. but i guess you do want to meet sex partners and are just being dishonest, which is why most internet sites like this are creepy.

otm

I said I was interested in everything tehresa

but maybe I should scratch friends off the list.

OK girls, I'll let you deconstruct how bad my last letter was to random stranger

Subject: hello miss mysterious

I like your profile.. my first impression is that you are adorable. I've always wondered if girls like you that seem to be really strong-willed (second impression) are girly-girls or not?

So that's my question. Do you have a girly-girl side to your personality? How would you describe the part of your personality that you said might get mistaken for "bitch" - the part of your personality that I guessed was strong-willed?

I have a side to me that isn't anything like the pictures of stuffed animals on my profile... yeah, I'm 100% male and probably more hetero than the average guy (that's why once you get to know me I could get away with posting pictures of myself with cuddly stuffed animals)

Please write back :)
What is your ethnicity?

(I should of wrote "if you get to know me")

it sorta reads like something a 40 year old foreign man would write

i think that's a creepy letter and i would not reply.

!

What is your ethnicity?

lol crepe

ok stupid cupid

also

ug my problem is that I listed that I wanted new friends on OK CUPID but I only did that because some girls don't want to date someone unless they become friends first...

made it seem like you listed that you only wanted new friends. but even that seems like a misrepresentation, since you clearly are not interested in making friends. take it off your profile.
xpost

I'm 100% male and probably more hetero than the average guy

I mean really

hahaha

you saw the picture of the stuffed animals in wydll btw (i had to defend myself for having a main picture like that)
and I honestly wanted to know her ethnicity, she has herself listed as asian

sorry for harsh but that's really really really rude to ask

sometimes I subconsciously make my intro letters bad though

yeah that's gonna get you laid

wait, are you saying that you actually sent that message to someone you wanted to date?

why are you asking for advice you clearly have no interest in taking, captain "got any links to free sex sites?" lorax

believe me I am taking everyone's advice on how bad the last letter was, I knew it was bad but now I know to avoid the ethnicity line etc..

I kinda hope for a girl that likes the lovable loser

the 'probably more hetero' line is one of the most ridiculous things you could have said

sorry man

god otm for cancelling that concert.

but lovable is not really coming through here so...

everyone, please don't suggest ban this guy, that was heart-breakingly hilarious and awful. It's an amazing gift.

what's the girly-girl/strong-willed line of questioning for. it's very off-putting :/

the only non off-putting parts are "hello" and "please write back" tbh.

yes i am trying to be constructive because i feel bad for the recipient tbqh

avoid "interesting" lines of questioning imo

you should not have a bar of any girl who would reply to a letter like that.

constructive = not saying what i would like to say which is more omgwtf

I mean, an ideal girl for me would be one who doesn't get offended when I write a stupid letter. she would be laid back but even if I wanted an ideal girl I suppose I should make my intro letters way less stupid

trust me you don't want a girl who wouldn't see anything wrong with that letter
sorry

^^ lol! but we're both sockpuppets, so don't mind us. Keep it up!

i think that's what estela said but i don't know what "have a bar" means haha

the only non off-putting parts are "hello" and "please write back" tbh.

tbh the "please write back" seems a little desperate and sad and thus off-putting imo.
