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

add cleavage shots and "casual sex" to your profile

worked for me!

Haha, I knew I had overlooked a few things. Tonight's guy said he was 5'7" and he was of course, my height; also I think he underestimated his age by about 10 years. Anyway, he loves Jack Lemmon so we found some common ground.

Laurel, you should date him. I don't think he's your type, but your fashions would complement each other. I've never felt so underdressed in my life.

I'm really suprised by all this lying about height stuff. Height isnt something I ever think or care about.

You say that now, but wait until a four foot tall dude shows up

he already did

j/k (or am i)

and you were expecting a 4'2" dude...

lol Rob isnt 4 foot tall jim u barstool. Hes at lEAST 5 foot :P

Haha holy shit I forgot about people being kangaroo-sized down over there.

Explains why AA's wife is always indoors. If she went outside she might get mistaken for prey and be carried off by a hawk!

Hey, some 'roos are quite tall I'll have you know!

I'm not THAT short, I'm 5 foot 4, harrumf.

(actually the otehr day in the lift a complete stranger suddenly exclaimed loudly to me OH MY GOD YOU HAVE THE TINEST FEET I HAVE EVER SEEN WHAT SIZE ARE THOSE DOCS THEY ARE SO ADORABLE) :/

Tried very, very hard to want to continue to date tonight's date, who was lovely and friendly and very interesting, but no frisson.

Height as advertised (over 6ft) but sweater could have done with ironing.

Who irons sweaters? Maybe it was a thin sweater.

It was a very thin but very creased sweater. I don't iron sweaters, but I hang them up in a way that - anyway, wow, I am coming across very picky on this thread.

That's ok. I used to date someone who ironed jeans. She is nonetheless a good person.

love this

irony?

I need to suggest a bar for happy hour -- Boxcar?

What are you supposed to do when you don't like them like them, but would be happy to hang out with them as friends? Also, I'm running out of days of the week to go on all these dates--maybe I need to be more picky.

tell them before you meet up

"You remind me of Dad"

Maybe the sweater had been in storage and was folded poorly? I don't really have any sweaters that can go on hangers, they're all weaves and would have horrible pouches on the shoulders where the hangers had been after being on a hanger all summer.

pr0 tip: spray a little febreeze on it and toss it in the dryer on a low setting for about 20 minutes

You're really supposed to fold sweaters rather than hang them although I do both.

gr8080 stop disseminating our pr0 tips, people are gonna figure us out

(you can also throw a damp washcloth and a dryer sheet into the dryer for the same effect

I am the woman who walked around with mud caking her boots all day today without noticing and I renounce criticism of sweaters.

I quietly reactivated my okc acocunt a while ago and I feel vaguely guilty for having done so. It does say "not really looking" but I find myself surreptitiously deleting the "hey so and so is checking our yr profile" emails just in case guy-i'm-vaguely-dating happenes to look over my shoulder at my gmail.

Which is dumb. Hes the one who wanted to dump me/wont commit to anything solid, why am I feeling bad?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

too late, already threw out all my sweaters : /

*takes breadknife to boots*

It will be a cold winter without sweaters. Or boots.

Laurel, you should date him. I don't think he's your type, but your fashions would complement each other. I've never felt so underdressed in my life.

Short and boring? No, I don't think that's my type, either!

Hm shouldn't have included "short," because, you know, the Irish. But duplicitous, and short with a complex, apparently, if he had to lie about it.

what is the etiquette about responding to messages? it seems a bit rude to not respond at all, but saying 'thanks but no thanks' isn't very pleasant either.

yeah, idk - i often justify non-responses with "well, maybe it's better than just stringing them along, which sends a signal that you're interested when you're actually not"

L., he wasn't boring, he was kind of "wacky." He did have all his hair though. I prefer it when people reply to me and then just let the e-mails peter out; that way I can see for myself that they're not that interesting after all. One person I wrote never wrote back, and I'm convinced it's because he is an eminently fascinating person with much better things to do than e-mail with me. That said, I only write back to people who seem to have connected in some way with something I wrote in my profile; I feel free to ignore the people who seem like they could be writing to anyone.

I had the thought the other day that I don't really trust guys past a certain age who still appear to have all their hair. It means they're either too young for me or they're faking it.

What! Not every dude thins out that much *runs hands through thick, lustrous hair*

what age?

What age am I, or what age is Laurel looking at? I'm 30.

rmde

I'm going to look the exact same at 40, I swear.

Guys I've never posted on this thread but I just deactivated my old account and started a new one and already regret it.

Don't be hesitant or have misgivings! We have Trayce for that.

It didn't take me long to remember that the whole reason I gave up was a) I get messages from people I haven't messaged first maybe once or twice every two months b) I will get replies to messages I send maybe 1 time out of 10, if that c) in the year and a half that I actively pursued OKCupid I went on three dates and none of them led to anything.

I get really frustrated at the idea of trying to communicate my personality and etc. over what is essentially a web form, and I'm torn between trying to be myself and perhaps quirky and witty or whatever without coming across as trying too hard. It's such a chore and it feels utterly futile, like applying for jobs.

Ugh I already fucking haaate this thing now.
