After seeing so many of these completely bugshit profiles/pictures lately, I finally understand that at least one reason why women message me when we don't have much in common is that my profile is among the few that don't belong to violent sex offenders.

I feel a bit weird about that tumblr, esp if any of those guys have the locked "OKC members only" kind of profile and someone is just posting them all over the internet? :| I mean theyre gross profiles, but still.

Yeah, we're nearing a point where even the pretense of treating people's online presence with tact and propriety is going to fall away completely, i.e. the point where I stop having any kind of non-pseudonymous internet presence whatsoever.

I think the Internet and communications therein are as real as anything. On one hand, I'd be pissed if someone did that with my pic. On the other hand, I don't usually acknowledge my horniness level on the same page as my picture, either. Except on the WDYLLHH thread.

i would never answer that profile but i can see why some people would. marla basically sounds like a combination of early 20's immature slacker and smartass. a bit white trash, sure. what, white trash people aren't allowed to use okcupid? i mean, if i thought sushi was for pretentious blue state wussy rich people i'd probably be like, "she likes hot pockets too? cool! i'm hittin her up"
sure her answers were a little off, and their responses were all a bit, "that's interesting, can we have sex now?" but tbh that profile just radiates "booty call me, i'm down, but you'll have to deal with my fucking with you a bit first", so. basically the interchanges were mildly funny but tbh i'd probably prefer to hang with the fictional girl in the profile than the snooty full-of-herself girl who wrote that lame article.
now otoh *this* guy has *no* standards:

ky girl is actually asking me out now; this whole "hey your name might be referring to a lubricant" approach is working

my ex asked out a friend of mine...awkward :( i don't really care (actually its kind of funny because i don't think he realized we were friends and i don't think she's interested in him) but i am having trouble thinking of anything to say to him.
but date tomorrow...i'm excited!
― bene_gesserit, Saturday, 16 June 2012 21:22 (twelve years ago) link
my last okc date fizzled into passive rejection. then i met someone else and was reintroduced to how easy things can be when you both like each other.

yeah!
yesterday was effortlessly awesome.

my date yesterday included: an indonesian food fair, walking an arthritic pug, taking the east river ferry at sunset, and watching free music at the bang on a can festival.

i can't believe how awesome that show was! we missed alvin lucier because we missed the first ferry but like, got to hang out on a ferry at sunset, nbd.

This rly good-looking redhead who appears to be a fellow weirdo hit me up; good conversation for a few days; wants to meet; I'm stoked, thinking we could get some drinks and see how things go, maybe hold hands. But then I realize he lives 2 hrs away and somehow the idea that he would travel to another town makes me feel really nervous and weird. And internetty. It doesn't make a lick of sense, I tell ya.

you could try my recent maneuver that somehow "worked". i declared the first meeting not a date and just two strangers meeting and seeing how they got along. somehow this made us want to be on a date more. we now refer to it as "date zero".

I guess it also makes me nervous that this is my first date in like eight years. *_*

is it rude to ask someone for their photo if they don't have a profile pic up? they're the one that messaged me...

No! Go ahead and ask.

i wouldn't even give someone without a picture the time of day.
i've been having an awesome time with someone...totally amazing chemistry and i'm crushing really hard.

I have come to the conclusion that most people on online dating sites are 'anti-seducers' (thats a term from Robert Greene's "The Art of Seduction"):

Urgh OKC sent me its latest batch of "hey, high matches for you!" ppl, and one of them is my friend A, who Ive dated briefly in the past but put aside cos Im not into his poly lifestyle. Now he appears to be compeltely single and has kinda been ridin' my back about hanging out a lot, with a view to rehooking up with me I suspect, and I Just Dont Want To.
― Pureed Moods (Trayce), Monday, 25 June 2012 23:01 (eleven years ago) link
if he wasn't poly, would you?
― mh, Monday, 25 June 2012 23:08 (eleven years ago) link
Nah, its not just that, tbh, I mean we're good friends but when we dated I found him a little overbearing and offputting, tbh.
― Pureed Moods (Trayce), Monday, 25 June 2012 23:11 (eleven years ago) link
Haha, the "antiseducer." Is that book worth reading? It's always in high demand at the library. By people who, sadly, seem to lack any sort of social mojo.
Good on you b_g!

Is this a dumb way of beginning yer profile, y/n:
I'm a militant agnost committed to revolutionary politics and Pixar movies looking for love (i.e. "Agnosticism and very serious about it").
― Moves Like Zappa (Leee), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 01:38 (eleven years ago) link
it looks like you're committed to Pixar movies about looking for love which are also militantly agnosticalso I don't understand how someone can be militant about agnosticism
― chupacabra seeds (Abbbottt), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 01:43 (eleven years ago) link

Pixar movies already get lots of love though?
