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

i kinda freak out when i see people i have 99% match with. never know what to say.

"clearly the machines think we are made for each other"

someone wrote me with roughly that though! so it kinda works

I say p much every time I meet ppl irl xp

I have a 0% enemy person I'm supposed to be meeting. Life would be boring maybe?

i kinda freak out when i see people i have 99% match with. never know what to say.

I met my 99% match on a whim--we'd only emailed a few times (over the course of a day or two) and then he came out randomly when I happened to be out for drinks in his neighborhood . . . and I didn't even remember how highly matched we were until he mentioned it. And then he broke my heart.

My other 99's in NYC are a committed polyamorist and an accountant musician. I haven't had any contact with them. I am having a fruitful e-mail discussion with a 99 in Austin who only moved away from Queens (the next neighborhood over from mine) two weeks ago.

you say 'we are the 99%' obvs

omg

Already had that joke with my in-person 99:(

highest match i have is 92% but i haven't answered a ton of those qns either

Just got a message, all it said was "Tell me more." Um, no thanks. As if i haven't rambled on in my profile enough already.

i got a weird cryptic message from someone who wants to "meat" me D:

I don't know about the match percentage thing. I dated my 96% match for about a month and it kinda seemed like we were just basically the same person. I don't want to date ME!

im in a pub waitin for a date to arrive!!

i never used to look at the questions that the other person answered, but the other day i did, and i realized they ARE important. If someone responds to the question, "do you think a women should keep her legs shaved?" with a YES, then regardless of the high match of other questions, they're out. this might seem picky to some, but someone with those kinds of ideas about femininity is not going to be a good match for me anyway.

xp good luck w/your date! i had to postpone mine tonight.

i am intrigued by ppl (who do not appear to hail from belfast and seem otherwise non-religious) who would not consider dating a catholic

I consistently surprised by the guys who think that men should be the heads of household and also how few people get the Romeo & Juliet question right!!!

What IS the ansewr to that R&J thing??

also the STALE-STEAL thing

What is the Romeo and Juliet question?

The question is what does "Wherefore" mean in "Wherefore art thou Romeo?"

The answer is 'Why'

definitely! i mean, it's online dating - it's ok to restrict the search results to weed out people who are going to say and do things that annoy the fuck out of you.

i still remember my 9th grade teacher explaining that to us!

the wherefore thing, not the restricting search results thing, though i wished they HAD taught us that, lousy public school system

the leg shaving question is a dealbreaker for me too! as well as people who "strongly prefer" to date someone of their own race. those aren't picky things, just asshole weeding out things.

totally

same with religion for me. i'm cool with all answers except the ones that are like "i'm super religious and i pray every day and i have talked to god". that's just not gonna fly with me, ever, so why deal with it?

i tend to look at the "things she cares about" questions to get a sense of what they're looking for, and if i'm anywhere close to it or not

i got the r&j question wrong, but i tbh we read a lot of Shakespeare plays in highschool and i always kinda sucked at keeping them straight! except for King Lear, Macbeth and Hamlet - that's some unfuckwithable business.

think this chick got the r&j q wrong

I got it wrong, also! But I had kept my answer secret so that's not too bad.

The question about a left-hand glove, when turned inside-out, fits on: Right or Left? is funny. I got out some gloves and tried it.

hahaha. what's the answer? it's right, right?

oops i got the r&j question wrong. damn!

mookieproof, re: the catholic thing, it would depend on the intensity of their belief, but having been brought up catholic, i have a lot of personal baggage and animosity toward that religion that might make it hard for catholics to date ME. (again, depending on the intensity of their belief)

how many of your questions do you answer secretly? the majority of mine are open, so everyone will know that i know jack shit about romeo and juliet

The question is what does "Wherefore" mean in "Wherefore art thou Romeo?"

The answer is 'Why'

I thought everyone knew this!

That would require me to have taken some kind of English lit class that was worth its weight in paperwork.

And yes, turning a glove inside-out reverses its handedness!

What if you put the glove on upside down? These questions are too simplistic. Anyway I am going to go back and change the r&j one now that this new info has come to light.

Also hilair that among hundredz of explicit sex questions there are a few of these semi-SAT questions. I like the number/pattern ones.

i changed my answer too, rrrobyn. hehe.

so the sentence means "why are you Romeo?"

sadly I was an English major in undergrad.

Could this be a way to weed out spammers, maybe?

i think i have one or two questions hidden, but i don't remember what they are.

one of my high % matches appears to have not just answered but commented on each of hundreds of questions. many of her comments are witty, but the overall effect is a little alarming in its relentlessness tbh

It means Why you gotta be a montague?
xp

says the internet
Ohwell!

I'm frustrated by a lot of the match questions because theyre not an either/or proposition, but if you pick all the answers it deems it "irrelevant"! For eg:
If you could have brilliant skill at something, would you prefer:

* 1 Q something practical?
* 2 W something fun?

Depends what the damn skill is! And why you think it would be fun or practical! Another one asked which kind of intelligence you prefer (logical, creative, intrapersonal, something like that). I'm like... all are good, it really depends on the person. Gah.

I also skip all questions about drugs and most about sex. I dont need a database knowing my answers to such things, thanks.

Lol I like answering the drugs questions but some of them and the sex ones are just juvenile - and then I realize there are a lot of juvenile people on this site...
Which reminds me that I am totally procrastinating on completing my eharmony profile, yknow, where the mature people are. lol. I will tho, just to see what's what.

i like to answer both of them because i want to be able to restrict others based on their own answers, but i keep it private. but yeah, regardless, it's in a database. :-/

i guess all of that is past tense since i disabled.

braggin

sorry
:-/

i think i'm trying to justify my (probably creepy) presence on this thread, just because i found the whole experience so interesting, having never done the whole online dating thing before.
