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

Here's my profile. (removed by user request) Say anything or nothing. I dont care anymore. I finally go the courage to complain about being a single loser. It feels good to admit it. I'm only human. And yet I still am a picky ass mofo because none of these girls on these dating sites interests me and I don't go out much. Let them say what they want about me. It feels good to finally speak my mind

I sent a message to a girl cuz we are 91% matched and she mentioned one of my fave restaurants in her profile. chances of her writing me back? i'm guessing... 10%.

I just logged into my profile for the first time in like 18 months and found this in my inbox "You have a charming smile, whats the secrete?"

I secrete, now? :|

Also I'm not sure how I have a "truly charming smile" when I am completely 100% not smiling in the ridic photo I put up.

Hhahah my ex comes up as a top 5 match for me.

Bless ye, nicholas.

i just got a msg that said "you're picture is ridiculous :)"

a) waht
b) "you're picture" i mean C'MON
c) :)

i just messaged another girl whose profile said she was willing to look up journal articles for ppl. 92% match.

(gettin drunk btw.)

exercise caution

throw it to the wind imo

i DID ask that woman to look up a journal article for me about the history of the song "I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow" as background for teh article on Emry Arthur I am researching. <3 librarians.

Does it tell you what match you are with a person if you look 'em up directly? Curious to see what % I am with u, Ian haha :)

no idea. how do you search for ppl directly? can you use e-mail or something creepy like that??

lol!

trayce, we are an 87& match!

% too.

Hah, not too shabby!

it's nice seeing people loosened up around here

My profile has said "I'm taken and not looking I'm only here for the quizzes" for 87676r564e years and I still regularly get pinged by guys :/

Yes thats right you heard me, R E YEARS.

braggin.

like, okay, this girl seems cool & all but then i get a big wtf like--

Food? I love Panera Bread. Oh, and Chipotle.

now i'm getting paired up with girls who are into zombie apocalypse shit.

ian and i are 93% bros

xp swear like half the profiles for ladies under 26 or so in mpls have ZOMBIE PUB CRAWL pix

whats wrong with panera bread and chipolte?

the fact that there's so many better options in brooklyn.

cheaper, healthier, more delicious. all around better.

I get hung up on peoples' music taste but never their actual food taste

on the other hand I do like to say "you like taco bell!" as an insult (Basketball quote)

but where I live there is only chain restaurants like Panera and Chipotle

when i lived in suburban USA i ate at denny's and wendy's all the time, not to mention teh outback steakhouse, but living in new york i kinda feel like there's no excuse for mediocre, conservative dining habits.

omg i forgot about the stuffed animal photo! jfc.

I know it is uncool to harp on abt something from 60 posts ago and of course it is pretty obvious that older women are out of luck in the dating pool, but I am still surprised that the messages-on-OKC peak is as early as 21 - OK, we have only just deemed you adult enough to drink but it is all downhill already, now you are old and should just find the nearest ice floe tbh

(OKC stats page, v. interesting though it was, and chatroulette thread kind of bumming me out about possibility of basic human interaction in a hypermediated and hypersexualised world that shows every sign of worsening or whatever that old ILX meme was, but oh well, just sleep-deprived Monday crankiness really)

wow an ilx approved dating service?? I gotta try this

these 'tell me about yourself' questions are worse than cover letters

O_o the fourth match on my list is named 'opengoal'

fifth match is ready2bone

This lady I know who moved here to New Mexico from Ohio complains alla time abt how there's no Chipotle here. We have all the best & cheapest Mexican food in the entire world here. Like we were both eating these amazing giant $2 chile relleno burritos and she was all, "They're good, but they're no Chipotle." wtf??

lady likes her fuckin chipotle whatcha gon do

revoke her new mexican driver's license imo

gbx has the right spirit

fwiw I have never eaten the food of Chipotle the restaurant, but it used to be owned by McDonald's, there's now way it's better than the food here.

This same lady also gets revolted if anyone like lower than 90% compatibility looks at her Ok Cupid profile. "A guy with 82% compatibility emailed me to go to coffee! What the fuck was he thinking?" I've never used OK the Cupid, but this seems a little unreasonable to me, esp. considering as an atheist who apparently hates actual Mexican food you are probably gonna have a hard time finding anyone down here if you act like that.

srsly living in new mexico and preferring chipotle might actually be worse than going to france on vacation and just eating McD's the whole time. like, it's one thing to be a tourist in a country that might have new and unfamiliar food. it's just a whole different level of moronic to MOVE to one of the few places in america that can legitimately lay claim to both a) it's own indigenous cuisine (new mexican /= mexican) AND b) also just be teeming with all the spots that chipotle's trying to emulate.

it also aggravates me because i want to live in new mexico and this broad is sucking up all the air

Ha! She's the only one I know who's like that fwiw, plenty of great Organ Mountains air to go around.

pining for chipotle in NM is pretty fucking dum imo but: ohio

you people
