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

a girl sent me a message saying she likes to sing michael hurley songs when she is alone? future wife?

I was browsing okc on Sunday night (working on the all-important "get drunk enough that posting a photo seems like a good idea" step) when I got infected by a particularly nasty virus. Hopefully this is not some kind of omen.

I don't really understand why but it seems like 50% of the girls claim to be bi on there.

they also all claim to be "a lot like liz lemon."

I'm glad I never looked at too many other women's profiles. It seems like a strange world.

currently browsing the goodfolk of okc by typing awesome cultural items into the search bar - dammit surely someone else likes the shit i do

oh yeah, i don't look at many men's profiles, but a couple i've seen have been very, very funny indeed

they also all claim to be "a lot like liz lemon."

"On a typical Friday night I am sitting at home eating cheesy poofs and farting into the ol' slanket."

I can't tell if using this site is a good way to meet someone or a good way to ensure I'll never meet someone.

the sad thing is like every girl has a line in their profile trying to fend off the sleazy old dudes. (I message them anyway.)

How old are you?

34. i was kidding though. i'm not that old for a sleazebag.

i don't think i've since i've known you you've been in any kind of happy relationship.

If I still had that ACT UP* t shirt that didn't fit anymore, I'd say "You know you're my homie, but get your heteronormative bourgeois straitjacket off my sagging queer body."

*someone tell ian what ACT UP was.

I am so close to being done with online dating. I would rather go out to eat alone.

i disabled my account. people are the worst.

man, don't sound like me :(

(not always, at least)

okay, i'm back on this thing

I have my first date tonight!

Excited, yes. Terrified, definitely.

Good luck Krakow. I have a date tonight too, but not excited about it... but I'm getting too picky - if I only met men on this thing that I was excited about I would be deleting my profile around now, and there's got to be something wrong with that since I'm not a supermodel, a genius or Miss Congeniality.

We're dressing up and going to Mahler.

Nice! We're getting a coffee...

krakow has definitely pulled

do spill on these dates! i am so giving this up. it's happened to me at least twice in a month now that someone (and they aren't that many to begin with) who i've been messaging with have just deleted their account instead of writing me back. seriously, come on. i'm just gonna finish this bottle of wine myself

It could hardly have gone better had I dreamed it. Happy happy joy joy.

Yes, and what about the girl?

Aye, the girl was pretty good too!

a number of people have informed me that with my erotic tastes I would go nutwire for the girl - so yeah if I ever have money I'll be down for a showing

Hey, maybe we should go get a drink sometime? You seem like a lot of fun...

I do my best. Am generally always ready and willing for a FAP, especially a London one. Unless my latest adventures in lulzy ILX idiocy get me permabanned, or whatever.

(Re: my own OKC'ing, well, not much happening recently, although I've recogitated what I really want and dialed it back quite considerably)

If you come to Glasgow I'll buy you a Whisky for making me laugh tonight. Purely platonic, of course.

a number of people have informed me that with my erotic tastes I would go nutwire for the girl - so yeah if I ever have money I'll be down for a showing

Ilx feminist strikes again. Hahaha.

just thought id let u all know ive deleted my a/c

emil.y, Mahler

I figured it was a reference to *something* but it made me laugh. Soz duder.

Mahler, emil.y

I love this place.

if I was really on my game I'd have hyperlinked one of emil.y's wdyll photots

and not thrown extraneous t's into my posts

Wow, is this an official introduction? Does Mahler know I'm taken and just on this site for the lulz?

mahler's into polyphony, if you and C are interested

Gah, I actually pissed myself at that. Well, okay, I didn't actually piss myself. I laughed. Out loud.

My date texted me to say he'd be late. Text didn't arrive. Nor did my text to him asking where he was. I went home. We emailed. To be rescheduled.

good luck! and btw you are adorable so fuck all that 'i'm no supermodel i shouldn't be picky' business. don't settle for crap! you're worth someone awesome :D

Thanks! It's not that I'm for settling, just that... well, try the 'quickmatch' feature and see how shallow it's possible to become within about 10 minutes... it's disturbing. Need to get out there and meet people.

I forgot that I was still on OKCupid! I got an e-mail from them today suggesting three young ladies that I should contact. Number one was my ex-gf that I met on there...

Date rematch today with guy I failed to meet the other week.

my ex-that-i-met-on-there keeps popping up on my homepage - but it's cool - she writes good journal posts

also good luck ljubljana! or at least, make sure this episode of the OKCdyssey winds up one of the more entertaining ones...

Jesus, stood up a second time! Well, not really. I guess we left it casual and he had a legit work reason (involved with the immigration march on DC today). The bizarre thing is, my texts don't arrive with him and his don't arrive with me.

oh no! are you sure your texts don't arrive with him? it is not beyond some people to dick about with others. although if he's on a protest march he MUST be a good, conscientious fella eh?

recommend you affirm text status asap before proceeding, but you probably knew that already

Yeah - not sure how it can be affirmed, though, other than meeting him and trying it out on the spot. Not gonna push this one, up to him...
