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

Maybe it's "I have a sister I am inappropriately affectionate with"

Hahaha.

Mmm, just my kind of guy!

If I see one more guy whos profile says he's "outdoorsy" or "loves the outdoors" and plays sports/rock climbs/cycles/travels I am going to scream. Where are all the music nerds and gamers?

u realize these things aren't mutually exclusive right

Oh I'm sure they arent! Perhaps what I should have also said is, I dont seem to see many people who big up sitting about chillaxing reading/watching movies/writing music.

Also, I would be a *serious* annoyance to a health/fitness nut, because I am the polar opposite of that and refuse to change.

That's kind of a beef some friends of mine have, in that people have to have obvious "hobbies" or "activities." One got asked in a date-type of situation what his hobbies were. As in, he was out somewhere with this girl and she used the word "hobbies."

Do people do that? I think half of the reason people don't mention reading/movies/etc. is it's not seen as constructive or active. Writing music or writing fiction or something, maybe.

Yeah well put, thats how I see it. Its like... ok, I get that some people are really into cycling or doing half marathons. Or I dunno, crochet duck toys or collecting Buffy DVDs or whatever but yeah "hobbies" is something you describe to pen pals in elementary school for gods sake.

And I wouldnt call my writing of music and fiction a hobby. I'd call it a perpetual fucking frustration, haw.

I'd much rather someone say "hey lets sit around and play Mario Kart and then watch Metalocalypse and have some beers" than "I plan on travelling to Nepal this year!"

I plan on playing Mario Kart and then watching Metalocalypse and having some beers in Nepal this year!

It's blizzarding outside and I am out of beer. Maybe I can use okcupid to get some beer delivery?

I will deliver u some.

It might take a few days.

better start walking, all the roads and airports are closing!

OK I might be a few weeks!

... and possibly half dead from exposure.

Just tweaked my profile to add some stuff about TREEHOUSES. Because I love treehouses, and anyone who has that level of whimsy... le sigh.

ugh u r so outdoorsy

lololol <3

and fit!

And apparently I like travel, if it involves delivering beer.

actually I am a big phony, cause I am planning on travelling this year, I'm prob going to be in the US - the original plan was March but Ive no money so now the plan is to hit up the US in September.

I should attempt to FAPdate with everyone in this thread hahaha.

i would reactivate my okc account for all this traycefap

Ooer!

i don't know what that means! i don't speak your upside-down language!

You don't speak english?

And apparently I like travel, if it involves delivering beer.

got this image of you trudging through snow with a six-pack hanging off yr neck

i don't speak australian ;-)

Actually "ooer" is a very english phrase! Anyway :)

Please swing by DC Trayce! I will give you a tour of all the bars in which I've brightly looked at my watch and said 'well, I'd better...'

DC stop is a must, Trayce! I keep offering my guest room to people and no one takes me up on it :(

btw

uh oh

It was announced today that commercial dating service Match.com ponied up $50 million to buy out free dating website OKCupid. Their first order of business? Scrub OkCupid’s popular blog post “Why You Should Never Pay For Online Dating,” which starts: “Today I’d like to show why the practice of paying for dates on sites like Match.com and eHarmony is fundamentally broken,” and ends: “So next time you hear Match or eHarmony talking about how huge they are, you should do like I do and think of Goliath—and how he probably bragged all the time about how much he could bench. Then you should go sign up for OkCupid.”

Well, if this changes their model, I'm out. It was only ever a fun thing for me and I am so not interested in the "serious" online dating model of other sites, so fuck that.

oh hi rogermexico, i am the guy who messaged you sometime last year about don b. i still haven't found my copy of forty stories.

i have another date tomorrow night. english student, pretty, seems p chill :)

someone actually wrote me for once
and i feel too lazy to even respond

If he's not into rock climbing and kayaking, why bother.

lol

I'm almost considering signing up again just to make a gag profile and seeing what happens.

Go on, before match.com make everyone pay for the fricking thing.

Also I can send you crepey messages.

I wish Hooz would write my response for me

I always choke on sending a message to someone. It seems like nothing I write will be clever or eyecatching enough.

Dating shouldnt feel like freaking job interviews :|

i always found the initial message v difficult. replying is usually pretty easy.

deleted my profile the other day. whatever purpose it ever served has long since passed

I'm mainly in it for amusement value. The pool of matches is so static I'm beginning to think it's not worth taking seriously, but I'll leave it there.

hey danski! i've been off okc since, like, october due to: dating life was getting way too complicated... but it was super-cool to meet you and if/when i inevitably turn it back on i'm looking forward to meeting more ilxors!

hey trayce and all! sorry my jibe took us sideways. that "ooer" was funny! and trayce, you pretty much can't avoid the west coast so drinks are on me in SF.

Awesome! I'll hold you to that.

Well, if this changes their model, I'm out. It was only ever a fun thing for me and I am so not interested in the "serious" online dating model of other sites, so fuck that.

absolutely. if we're talking like $4,99 a month or something i might stick around just cause it actually has served me really well, but if they move to some shitty $19.99+ model or whatever fuck that

Oh no way am i paying at all. Heck I've had better luck getting dates from forums, ha.

SO IT BEGINS

let's write songs :)
