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

Is there anything better than reading some bros attempt to mess with a "Crazy Cougar" on ok cupid, see their first couple of lol exchanges, and then watch as the dude has to knock off his half-ironic "let's see if I can humiliate this hot broad" flirtations because:

gah, stuff got personal, she knows a friend of mine from my previous job that I had listed on my page. gonna have a civilized convo now

realised she looks a bit like freaks and geeks era linda cardellini, which is nice

drool

he dude has to knock off his half-ironic "let's see if I can humiliate this hot broad" flirtations

Well thats a bit fucking cuntish.

Maybe I'll get onto OKC and humiliate some fat internet nerds, shall I? That'd be good for a laugh.

i had an okc date last week, went well, got really drunk and had a little street kiss at the end. she's in india for 3 weeks but prob will see her when she gets back.

xp yeah what is this, In the Company of Men?

PS sorry if I sounded uneccesarily harsh there. I just loathe the idea that there are guys on dating sites deliberately baiting people they dont even like. Its so childish. :/

the people on this site all seem to want ppl out of their league. i message dudes who are out of my league who never respond and total freaks message me because i am out of their league, and i never response. no one gets laid as a result. its fucking bullshit, margaret.

like real life, then?

didn't work out with my OKC girl, got a "lets just be friends" text after the third date. not that bothered, there's wasn't really much of a spark, tbh. and i have a date with a girl i met on a night out next week anyway. strarted talking to somebody else on the site, but she lives 87 miles away... she sends me pix of herself in different outfits (nothing too racy) and asks my opinion, lol.

how did u get into my inbox

on the real though i'm kinda overdoing this i think

-had a thing with a girl from here last night
-have another thing with another girl from here tonight
-meeting another girl from here for coffee tomorrow
-meeting another girl for a drink next week and
-one more saying 'probably next weekend'

this works best when you stick to just the one ime but godspeed

whichone

guess you don't know yet which one you'll rly hit it off with if at all, and dammit will a hoos ball otherwise

haha i mean the thing is

my strategy basically is when i'm 'on okc' i'll message a bunch of girls at once, 5-6, assuming a 10-20% reply avg. they're all genuine messages--my perpetually single friend up here is like 'what do you say to them??' and i'm like 'dude i just read the profile and if i think i have something interesting to say about the contents i say it'--so if i get a reply it's usually substantial, and after last week's round of messaging i got like 6 replies, so it feels like a waste not to make plans to at least meet!

Hoos did just move to a new city so if even if nothing comes of all these get togethers romantically speaking, at least it's a good way to meet new ppl imo. Also I admire his drive and persistence. I've always hated this sort of thing.

playing the numbers haha, well it can work! more likely than not you'll know from the profile when it's someone you'll really click with thermonuclear stylee but if these girls all have interesting shit you can engage with I don't see why not give them all some irl company. the only misgiving I have is that with 6 on the agenda, it'll be easier to concentrate on the ones that come later (unless you had a stellar encounter first up, in which case go animal)

you did the right thing arranging to meet quickly though. my only tip is to be a teeeeny bit more discerning before messaging - in order to avoid a potential emotional pile-up like this, message 1 or 2 a week. there's always time.

Going out with one person is stressful enough for me. Doing it with five different people in one week would make me a wreck.

also the new city thing otm - but you gotta take it p easy unless they're of a wild persuasion too

btw there is a romantic email hoos definitely needs to write at some point in the approximate heretofore

r u implying i owe u a romantic email sir

with flowers n shit

............make that two on sunday

lol

Bit the bullet and sent someone a message the other day. Another non-response.

Why am I bothering? I need to kill my profile and make a new one.

don't laugh, but would love to hook up with someone via tumblr... loads of fit/stylin girls on there.

I try to at least add a couple new photos every month or so, and I have a part sectioned off as [IRREGULAR UPDATE] where I get a bit more specific about what I'm up to last/this/next week that's worth relating, just so the thing stays maintained.

xp

Like, just suggesting that rather than scrapping the whole thing, but I forget you'd said you wanted to reanswer all the qs right?

yeah, if i see decent new pic of myself on facebook, i'll add that to my OKC pix and maybe delete an old one. although there are a couple of good ones i keep up permanently.

Yeah I did and I also need a new username cos I honestly think my stupid one might be a bit misleading (its so childish). I know I can pay for a bit and change it but nah. I'll just ditch and start again.

For one thing - right now my ex (the one I live with) is my #1 match and has been for ages. Out of everyone in my town on OKC! What are the odds. Anyway, I'd be curious to see if that remains so if I redo the thing.

xpost

Haha I also went on a spree a few weeks ago of hiding girls I had high match with who were obscenely taller than me

The hide button is your friend, is wht I mean!

Oh lol I dont mind N being my highest match! He's my best friend after all. In fact we jokingly send each other stupid okc messages all the time going OMG A/S/L and stuff.

I JUST started doing this. Being newly single for the first time in six years, the dating landscape in general seems newly disorienting. It is going to take some practice to regain the swagger I had in my mid-20s, tho I do like this concept of online romantic browsing (completely new to me), mainly b/c it gives me the opportunity to make a solid first impression verbally - I've always been much better at writing than talking, so by the time we actually meet up & I start saying ridiculous things, they'll at least know that I'm passably intelligent & not actually mentally retarded.

The last time I went on a first date with someone from a site like OKC, it was really great. We had plenty to talk about and stayed out for several hours that night...until I got choked when taking a sip of my drink at the bar after dinner and coughed up a piece of bread from earlier that night. She didn't call again.

Have officially rescheduled coffee date #2 so that I'm not in the comedy scenario of trying to have my two dates avoiding meeting each other.

it would have been so playa to just welcome #2 into the date in progress and seen how things went

hahaha

i won't lie and say i didn't imagine introducing one to the other

I just disabled my own profile and made a brand new one.

N is still in my top 5 of matches, roffle.

Would it be gauche if anyone here looked up each others profiles to see what matches we are for a larf? It would, wouldn't it.

lj and i are like 95% match iirc

no hoos on jagger thoughts, please

x-post Is that supposed to be surprising?

i am only a reporter!!!

my new profile name if you feel like some detective work is a cocteau twins song starting with M that Harold Budd plays piano on.

lol mh I think you just found me didnt you ;P

Woah 93% match, nice.

I haven't a clue what you're talking about (yes)

hee hee.

Actually just got one of these things tho I'm in the forlorn age-group ilxor's here seem to consider their prime. Where I spend my days don't really provide a whole lot of f3malez so I don't consider it really pathetic on my part or anything, and hell, it's the 21st century.
