ian, you are not a jerk, you are a smartass

ian that kitty could be a baby pen from the side view. he even has the pink paws!

i'm sold on abe unless you are holding back some key piece of information like he is 90 years old or something.

i think the key piece of information against him is that he's currently unemployed.

aw, ian, your little dude looks like my old cat.

Just got an invitation from a dude in Littleton, Colo., to be a sister wife. Sweeeeeeet.

Post this!

I told him my aforementioned plan to marry my actual sister. Probably not this best way to rebuff?

I think you just escalated things

She's a cool gal!

Is there a word for the mustache and goatee combination when it's all one piece encircling someone's mouth? That seems like a prevalent type of facial hair in places that are either not NYC or are Staten Island.

We are a mature couple who has been together for 13 years we have 4 children and are looking for a sisterwife to share are love and family with we are We own are own business together and are financially stable that doesn’t mean we are looking for a free loader we are looking for someone who is sure this is what they are looking for we would like to have more children with this sister wife so being sure this is what you want is very important we believe once we are bonded it is forever. So only serious women need contact us.

Hahaha, I was just about to c&p that myself.

i just wasn't really in the dating mindset for a couple months there

Laurel, that is the van dyke

Laurel - yes, "awful".

where is a serious girl who really aims plural marriage?

where are a serious girl who really aims plural marriage?

holy shit i just signed up for this yesterday and being on this site is the most nerve wracking experience i've had at a computer since the gre

we chose each other? what the fuck does that mean?

haha oh gods just clicked for first time on an acquaintance's profile, felt extremely incestuous.

tlg, I think it means that you gave each other 4 or 5 out of 5 stars? The emails the system sends you are kind of hilarious. Basically she thinks ur hott.

There's a cute guy, who seems cool, but who is short and 38, just for the record, and was "quiver"-matched with me and took himself off my list (when the site cycles a person out of your quiver I think it means they declined you). And I just want to grab him by his nice suit lapels and SHAKE HIS HEAD OFF AND SHOUT AT HIM, "HOW MUCH BETTER DO YOU THINK YOU CAN DO?!?" I realize this impulse is crazy and wrong and I do think he's very attractive and wd totally go out w him but just...haha SO MUCH UGH.

i think she walks her dog on my block! the same thing happened w/ a barista from the cafe down the street and some girl that when i clicked on her tumblr feed i was in the background of one of her cellphone shots.

how do i avoid declining people in my quiver?!?!

It's when you click the "not interested" button, I think? Which is fair, I mean, you're entitled to do that! I realize I'm being irrational by taking this personally.

Haha, back in the days when I was doing this there was no "not interested" button, thankfully, as I'm not sure my ego could have withstood it.

no no i'm afraid of moving too quick but i also don't want to elicit that response

i was assuming my top matches would be like bison or something and i'm stunned to see, uh, results

m bison?

m bisonfly

There's a cute guy, who seems cool, but who is short and 38, just for the record

Now I know how to begin my profile!

Happy to help!

For the record I was trying out giving people high star ratings to see if it would encourage them to contact me, and I starred him and that's when I think he declined me. So if someone has already expressed interest and you know your chances are decent, and you reject them out of hand even though you agree on all the questions you both answered and stuff, pretty much that means I'm either too old, not hot enough, or he didn't like my essays. Which, I make no apologies for any of those things, it's just infuriating.

when i clicked on her tumblr feed i was in the background of one of her cellphone shots.

This is actually amazing.

eh i dunno it was at a show last week, probably makes sense?

Date with random woman #38 on Weds, she seems cool ie. at least as nerdy as me.

This site has paired me up with so many grad students, which is odd considering I work in a factory.

Wait, f.hazel is a dude? I have thought you were a nice lesbian for many years now.

I have made a profile on one of these sites now. It will probably be as successful as my contributions to this thread.

I had an okc profile for 2 years I kind of didn't feel like just dating lots of people to see what it was like, I just kind of wrote a profile and left it there, I didn't really like any of the profiles i saw (yes, i know, unreasonable expectations! but i had attitude of actually im quite happy as i am, i'll just leave this out there if something comes up, im not that worried about it)

The profile i wrote was extremely obtuse, i showed my flatmate and she said "NO ONE is going to reply to this, you sound unbearably pretentious", i said well yeah i know but anyone who DOES reply is going to be interesting at least, right...oh and also you think im pretentious anyway and why is that so bad?

I didn't go on a single date in the whole time, i didn't write to anyone, and i think i got 2 responses

one was from a well known activist-journalist who's been kettled a few times

that sort of goes to some of the previous posts, kind of like dont be disheartened and its ok if you don't get loads of responses and its ok to be choosy

(I realise I mightnt be best example in that i didnt go on any dates, but i mean in that its ok to do it and be open to it but als you dont have to put too much emphasis on it or become downhearted if something doesnt come through it)

Coal, you like the things you like and you're interested in the things you're interested and you present yourself the way you would want to be interpreted. It would be "pretentious" to pretend that you didn't.

I am trying to have 0 expectations. (Rather than wholly negative expectations.)

My profile is probably rather curmudgeonly, but it gives a reasonable impression of what I'm *like*. I picked what probably seems a bizarre profile photo because I'm completely windblown and unkempt (I had just wandered in off a five mile hike in Cornwall) but it's one of the few photos where I'm really smiling like I enjoy life and look like my mental image of myself.

I just don't feel like I can read any more boring profiles that say "I'm a nice person, I like a laugh and a good night out" because it's like... for fucks sake, how on earth do I distinguish you from any other person on the site? Do you want to make yourself that interchangeable? Maybe they don't want to exclude anyone. But you can't have sex with everyone, the whole point of a dating profile is to ward off the people you would want to exclude.

So I guess I end up attracting freaks, weirdoes and insane people, but for crying out loud, at least they're not boring. My life is boring enough, can't I have a partner that at least interests me?

I wonder how many days or even weeks the profile will last until I get disgusted with myself and humanity and delete it in a fit of pique.

X-post I wasn't really complaining, the last guy I dated through OKC was really genuinely interested in a relationship and I was the one to turn him down, being bi makes things more complicated.

Sounds like you are going in with the right attitude (and yes I agree it's better to write a profile that feels right to you rather than anything else. - ha I loved my profile, even tho I knew it wouldn't be partic successful)

0 expectation is the best way. Like its better to have a profile when you're NOT looking than when you are, which is why if you do get frustrated with it, don't take it down! Id that happens then justleave it there but don't look at it
