I just got a woo from this guy but I am too awed by his profile to make contact. He is some kind of amazing-man!

best message ever:
"wow that is a great picture. . not to be offensive but the way the background looks it looks like yer in what I imagine to be a crackhouse with stuff written on bare drywall. . .which would explain the quality of the picture. . . "

almost unbelievably, i'm already dating my best local match (not because of okCupid of course) so their questionnaire thingamajig just *might* actually work.

I don't know Cathy, there are big flaws there. He names Isaac Asimov among his favourite writers, and the questions he particularly cares about include:
Do you have experience being in a slave/master relationship?
Is your duty to religion/God even more important than your family?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 6 August 2005 18:37 (twenty years ago)

I am an old-fashioned sincere sort of a fellow, who doesn't like mind games in relationships! That's why I've never been in one

I am fine with Isaac Asimov, but for some reason this is the bit that made me go "ok, no".

― Cathy (Cathy), Saturday, 6 August 2005 18:47 (twenty years ago)

Has anyone ever written one of these profiles with the line "I am a big fan of mind games in relationships"?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 6 August 2005 18:48 (twenty years ago)

What does 'mind games' even mean anyway? I mean, no one wants to go out with someone who is cruelly manipulative. I think I interpret "doesn't like mind games" as "scared by and distrustful of women". Perhaps i am wrong.

― Cathy (Cathy), Saturday, 6 August 2005 18:58 (twenty years ago)

As someone jumping into this thread without reading it: I live in a remote, backwards part of northern England, never go out because I don't have any friends within 100 miles, and have given up on ever finding a relationship ever again, mostly because if I ever do find anyone who thinks I look attractive, they will run away from my personal history and list of favoured kinks. Should I try signing up for this thing, or am I doomed?

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Saturday, 6 August 2005 19:01 (twenty years ago)

There are many women on dating sites saying the same things about mind games. I think there are people who have been fucked around with, or think they have, and are on the lookout for more. Obviously people looking to fuck around with someone are not likely to think "Oh okay, this person is against mind games, I'll look elsewhere..."

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 6 August 2005 19:02 (twenty years ago)

I haven't logged in in ages!

From a guy in my hometown:

let's, not t's

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Saturday, 6 August 2005 22:58 (twenty years ago)

i think "no mind games" means "i'm carrying loads of baggage! do not approach!"

― caitlin oh no (caitxa1), Saturday, 6 August 2005 23:21 (twenty years ago)

I can see someone who's had difficult relationships being wary of "mind games", but how can you complain about them in a relationship if you haven't had one?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Sunday, 7 August 2005 12:25 (twenty years ago)

Mind Games = chess?

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 7 August 2005 14:54 (twenty years ago)

WHERE IS A NICE GIRL WHO DON'T WANT TO PLAY CHESS WITH ME?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Sunday, 7 August 2005 14:55 (twenty years ago)

oh wow! i set up a proper profile (rather than a joke one) just yesterday and someone already mailed me telling me my hair is great!

― ken c (ken c), Sunday, 7 August 2005 15:26 (twenty years ago)

I like the way you can linki-fy stuff now.

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 7 August 2005 15:52 (twenty years ago)

ok cupid seems to be a long winded (but sure fire) way of finding out whether you are ugly or not.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Sunday, 7 August 2005 19:02 (twenty years ago)

Hey, I already know I'm ugly.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Sunday, 7 August 2005 19:03 (twenty years ago)

all it's told me so far is that my hair is not ugly - will update soon perhaps!

― ken c (ken c), Sunday, 7 August 2005 19:34 (twenty years ago)

Username check for those of us sad enough to use the "Friends Network"?

Well actually they don't look that bad, but come on.

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Monday, 8 August 2005 12:14 (twenty years ago)

This is how okcupid thinks I compare to other males my age or whatever:

He's more energetic
He's more adventurous
He's less methodical
He's more artsy
He's less mathematical
He's more indie
He's more independent

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 8 August 2005 12:23 (twenty years ago)

when i set up my new (non joke) profile suddenly i'm less horny than the rest of the male population, rather than more horny. either i've grown less horny than when i first took the test or the rest of the population got more horny

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 8 August 2005 12:33 (twenty years ago)

That sounds like the start to a theme song

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Monday, 8 August 2005 13:30 (twenty years ago)

By the way, I sent you a friendship request ages ago, but you never answered... Was it something I said?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 8 August 2005 15:48 (twenty years ago)

it may have been that photo with the undies ..

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 8 August 2005 15:50 (twenty years ago)

No, that was before undies.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 8 August 2005 15:51 (twenty years ago)

The undie pics.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 8 August 2005 15:51 (twenty years ago)

aha - it must have been the lack of undies that did it.
