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

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.

really frustrating doing the questions. i'd accept any answer for most of them, despite having an answer of my own. it's so dense, why would you want someone to be the exact same as you, except on matters of whether they're a psychotic racist or whatever...just because i answer i might make a joke that could offend someone who was uptight doesn't mean i care if my SO would or want them to be either/or.

Hahah Hoos! Waht! Im not that tinfoil hat am I :/ lol

must say you get WAY, WAY more views when you answer questions. tho i've been adding in a lot of answer explanations too...

wish there was a way to filter to just see questions that have explanations, those are like tiny profile extensions that tell me way more than the answers themselves

I publically answer so few questions, heh. :/

I got a five star rating from a cuet philadelphian guy... who lives in China, booh. So I messaged him "thanks, youre cute!" which I'd never do to a local person because I am a MASSIVE COWARD haha anyway he replied and said I am "totally cute" so hey, I feel better now :)

had a nice evening

oooh tell us more conrad

also a pale british dad wrote me

i have noticed that a lot of guys around age 42-45 seem to think I am about the right age for them

(PS I am 31)

long good conversation beer brief snog in underground tunnel probably see her again

awwwwwwwesome

Good to see people getting some great results out of this at least :)

I just found a really cool sounding video gamer nerd dude who I have messaged.

for as much as it's worth in the fickle world of okc i spent the last hour or so messaging back and forth with a really funny and pretty person and seems like we may go for a drink...

awesome

btw "wherefore" is an actual word, not just in Romeo & Juliet

thx

wait Z S already disabled? that was quick!

i just impulse bought an iphone and i'm downloading the locals app as we speak. hopefully hilarious consequences to follow!

well this is stupid, none of these people are even close to me! and i thought i would be able to see them on a map.

an actual word in england maybe
xps

whoa i just got an incredibly charming msg from someone!
so i guess i'm actually going to go on dates at some point eh. weirdly amazed.

p.s. ZS i don't think anyone thinks yr being creepy hanging out on this thread or need to be on okcupid to be anyway

Verona is in Belgium iirc

sure

wherefore art we waiting

All of my questions are answered privately. I think there is such a thing as having too much information about a person.

B_g, I stopped looking at my locals because it was always the same people there. Maybe I'll check in again.

2 people said they would like to meet me on locals but i haven't even looked at their profiles. i got distracted by dropbox and the fact that i can now read graphic novels on my phone!

maybe i will put a broadcast out tomorrow asking for an iphone tutorial.

Ha, a broadcast. No one has ever contacted me on locals :(

I developed a new rating system, as of this evening. If someone seems cute and cool, but there's nothing in their profile for me to latch onto and write them about...5 stars!

Rejecting people on answers to single non-sequitur questions still seems weird to me. A pattern, maybe, but wtf?

It does give you the option of "mandatory", for questions that you decide you would and could never date someone who answered a certain way. So the site has already assumed that there are single-question deal-breakers.

Fair enough. I don't think I answer anything with mandatory, that might be my issue

Mandee, why don't you try OEDlover? He is my 99 match in Denver.

is that a reference to the Oxford English Dictionary?

I just messaged OEDLover and sent him a dirty, dirty message about my vintage unabridged webster's dictionary

hot

A pangolin?! That is awesome.

i finally got around to looking at all your profiles! i had pretty high matches with everyone--i did it so quickly that everything is now a blur, sadly, but everyone's profiles seemed quite good to me. I'm not terribly good at this whole thing, so I don't have any great feedback, unfortunately, but I am now inspired to work a bit more on my own profile...

I need new photos (including one of me standing-- as noted above it is best to have more than just head shots)

lol oh no i think i really like someone on here...anything we say "do you like..." it precipitates a long conversation that begins with "yes i love that..."
