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

wolfords are pretty expensive, too!

Yeah Wolfords were the exception I was thinking of, and I guess would be awesome luxe to have at your disposal, wardrobe-wise, but do they really come in handy that often? Up to you! Hardly a bad thing, tho, I admit.

first bit of attention i've gotten in weeks is a chat msg...from a straight guy? o_O

lol elaborate

"straight"

(11:05:51 pm)him:hey :)

(11:06:11 pm)me:hi

(11:06:20 pm)him:what's up?

(11:06:33 pm)me:not much

(11:06:46 pm)me:you?

(11:08:33 pm)him:hanging out with my best friend and his girlfriend while they drump hump each other

(11:08:47 pm)me:drump hump?

(11:09:16 pm)him:uuuuhhuuum

(11:09:31 pm)me:sounds messy

(11:09:40 pm)him:I know! ugh!

(11:11:32 pm)me:so if i may ask, why are you msging gay dudes on okc while your best friend is over?

(11:11:44 pm)him:ummm

(11:11:46 pm)him:he is not over

(11:11:50 pm)him:I am over at his house

(11:11:53 pm)him:he doesnt like the girl

(11:12:03 pm)him:so he wanted me to company them so they dont end up having sex

(11:12:15 pm)me:i see

(11:14:35 pm)me:can't be working all that well if they're still humping each other tho?

end

lol

drump hump?

I'm guessing he meant dry hump and didnt even realise.

hahah no i'm just quoting

"..............drump hump?"

oh lol

i mostly just loved how he totally skirted my qn by being all "um, my friend isn't here, i'm at his place, DUHHH"

yeah that was class

disabled okcupid account again.
ppl are pretty gross!

In my email yesterday:

Happy Birthday, memorygongs!
Still single? Come check out your matches and find the men who want to meet you for your birthday!

THANKS, OKC. Really needed that :\

AND it sent a pic of a butt-ugly pink and white frosted cake :/

hah, i got that on my birthday too. like, way to rub it in, jerks

i just got the most weird, back-handed compliment from a guy on OKC:

i couldn't help asking; the web site dished you up on my list of matches; i checked out the photos and thought 'wow this young guy is living way out there on the EDGE! and he's a little like the psych patients i see as a therapist; but one of the photos with the mirror was interesting and then i noticed your education. . .original ivy league. good web page. ur cute, too but your natural hair color becomes you. mark

so he's like, "okay, this young kid's crazy, but wow, he's well-educated!" what the fuck is wrong with people.

oberlin isn't ivy league -- this guy's an idiot.

i mean, clearly he's an idiot. i think what he might have meant was, "Oberlin is like an Ivy League school" or something, which is really isn't. but anyway.

would you want to date someone like that?

i mean, no. he's an idiot. my initial response to him was brief yet polite, mostly because i assumed he also went to oberlin, and didn't want to be a dick. then he writes back wacky response which makes it clear that he didn't go to oberlin at all. (also, tbpfh, he's not hot enough for his age range- if yr above 45, you better be in good fucking shape to get my attention. shallow, but whatever, i'm 26, i can be picky).

the OKCupid thread on that other board is so much better

motherfuckers on the internet have no idea how to communicate

xp I Rate Everything?

Ugh he sounds like a patronising creep, table!

was all set to delete this shit but then just had a three-hour-long very nice chat with someone who quickmatch'd me

I got a really, really interesting, thoughtful and whimsical message from a guy the other day on OKC. The first (long) paragraph was all about how he also loves tree houses and used to go sit up in trees as a kid to contemplate things and enjoy the solitude.

Then he said he also loves Futurama and being a geek. I am really quite intrigued. I wish his screenname didnt have the word "quirky" in it, but one cant have everything!

go for it imo

Have already msged him back, p interested tbh!

maybe his real name is Quirky

a girl i know has the surname qu1rk

Kwirk E Alon

OK a few messages in and I'm a bit <3 about this guy tbh. Weve rambled about the sky and treehouses and the ISS sailing overhead and computers and Futurama and finding hidden parks to hang out in and I like this guy. Hmm.

there's someone for everyone

that was a bit... backhanded.

Always a bad idea to get your hopes too far up before you meet in real life imo

been actually meeting these weirdos lately

been having lots of lol dates

honestly don't even feel comfortable posting about this on ILE; can we do a 77 thread?

you have the power

Yeah a 77 dating/OKC thread would be most welcome to me too.

Just sent my first message on OKCupid today - eeeek!

I have a date on friday with someone who msged me from okc just as i'd given up on the whole bag as a lost cause. I've mentioned it elsewhere so I wont go on but god, I'm a little bit of excited and so is he. This feels special.

Oh I did mention him upthread lol. Well, its been a crazy week.

Theres this girl I connected with through this back in like November, we exchanged msgs and she told me she was quitting OKC, but wanted to friend me on FB & exchange #s. We did that and stayed in touch for a while and hung out sporadically, but in the last few weeks we've started texting like all day every day, and we're spendin this weekend together. Hopefully we'll iron out what's goin on here, hopefully somethin's goin on. She's rad and ridonkulously gorgeous and just the right kind of off-kilter so I want to get closer instead of run away.

fingers crossed

hahaha, I deleted my account because I got like zero responses and a day after I zapped it a woman found me *on another website*, said she saw my profile on OKC, and then asked me out.

Um, So I joined okcupid last night and,recieved a message this morning from this dude who says he likes water sports, in a not going sailing or fishing way. I nearly peed my pants (which ironically was what he wanted me to do) with shock.

So, it's given me the creeps a bit. I am quite a laid back person but feel that as a first message it was a bit strong. Okay if I have hung out with you a bit, we could get to talking about it, but up front like that has put me off this whole endeavour.

I will be honest and say I joined to massage my fragile ego, and wasn't expecting that kind of thing so early on!

Sheesh, I think I might be a freak magnet.

hahahaha there are definitely some freaks on this piece

I totally see the funny side, an it'll make a,great story for the pub tonight. However, I am now NEVER going to actually date anybody on this. A word of advice dudes, slowly slowly catchy monkey and then, maybe, perhaps, they'll pee on you ;)

oh don't swear it off cause you got a crazy

that's crazy talk

this is good shit imo

Yeah OKC is full of crazies. But sometimes it suprises you.

I now seem to have a bf thanks to it, so um, there you go :)
