guys you're really overdoing this % match business. it's a handy broad sorting mechanism (for verification, look at your worst matches some time!) but beyond that, there's just no telling. you can fizzle with a 95 and spark with a 75.

ha, no it was from someone sending me a joke (i asked for jokes on my profile). no idea how/why i got messaged (ilxor???), but w/e

sounds like a dude was fulfilling a request and u acted like a bigoted homophobe, basically, u are worthless

*shoots self with arrow*

not so homophobic after all, heh, heh

date for tomorrow is confirmed w/ time & location btw guys.

Woo! Go ian!

I think there are only 50 people total on OKC in my neck of the woods. ;_; stop giving me the same people damnit

new round of quiver matches today is some bs imo

whoo have fun ian!

LOL ian you + me are 90% and 90% match now haha.

I want to know what the determiners are for the "enemy" rating! That one has me curious, is it having opposite answers on mandatory 's maybe.

it's a handy broad sorting mechanism

snigger

yes, a+

snigger

well that's a twist i didn't see coming

*snort*

Well, it wasn't horrible, but there was no chemistry & i don't think I'd want to spend any more time hanging out this this particular lady.

good 4 u for trying though

you miss 100% of the shots you don't take

That's deep, man.

I'm trying to summon up the energy/daring to initiate a conversation.

you miss 100% of the shots you don't take

That's deep, man.

*snort*

someone picked you quickmatch! is always guaranteed to be the ogre in the bunch, smh

Blake quotes formed the basis of my first message. Plunge taken. There will be no stopping me now. Perhaps.

Thanks for the encouragement dyao, and the motto.

ima be a hater and say I despise that 100% shots etc. take - you know, the "i regret all the choices i didn't make and none of the choices I did" malarkey - as if there aren't lots of people out there who have made more bad/unfortunate decisions that had terrible results over the good ones in their life

not that i mean to discourage anyone here from doing OKC or trying to get their shit on or whatever, just that platitude irks me. also i realize it was a joke lololol

trying is the first step towards failure

ima be a hater and say I despise that 100% shots etc. take

It's true, though, dude. If you just sit back and hope that everything is gonna work out without taking a chance on stuff that might not work out, you're probably gonna be sittin' back and hoping for a mighty long time. Taking a shot certainly isn't insurance against failure, but it sure as hell increases your chance for success.

yeah the quote isn't "you make 100% of the shots you do take" - but surely Nhex is right that some active decisions are worth regretting, i.e. attacking your next door neighbor with a mattock

adopting a chimpanzee as a child

aw that can work out though.. just listen to this - http://blogs.wnyc.org/radiolab/2010/02/19/lucy/

so taking the plunge on okcupid is like adopting a chimpanzee...either it can work out in a heartwarming way or you can end up on the floor blinded by your half torn off face getting your balls eaten viciously by a primate

"or"

^^

well played

either it can work out in a heartwarming way or you can end up on the floor blinded by your half torn off face getting your balls eaten viciously by a primate

*fingers crossed*

morelike okhominid

no way, ehominid.com tests u on 27 levels of primate compatibility

I think people get cynical about this stuff (and god knows I have in the past) because the instances of heartwarming wourk-outery generally pale in number to the instances of facial/genital mutilation. I understand completely that a body gets a little gunshy after being dismembered time after time after time, but it's worth the continued effort if you eventually find someone to hold with your bloodied stumps and attempt to kiss with the pulped ruin that once was the lower half of your face.

this is all fine and well to joke about but a 40-something y/o woman with bell's palsy sent me a message shortly after i joined and it was really really depressing and sad.

Oh my. I am laughing, which might be wrong, but there you go.

Blake quotes formed the basis of my first message.

Behold this harlot here on Bromion's bed,
And let the jealous dolphins sport around the lovely maid!
Thy soft American plains are mine, and mine thy north and south:
Stamp'd with my signet are the swarthy children of the sun;
They are obedient, they resist not, they obey the scourge;
Their daughters worship terrors and obey the violent.
Now thou may'st marry Bromion's harlot, and protect the child
Of Bromion's rage, that Oothoon shall put forth in nine moons' time.
Want some coffee?

^^^^loooooooool at appropriateness of display-name

Aye, that was about it. Do you reckon it'll work?
