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

real life got her

I am so confused now.

For the record, I am a boy. Although I am flattered to be thought of as a nice lesbian. Honestly, I thought it was obvious I was a boy from the way I write.

Haz, apologies for my flippancy. I am an equal-op dater w/r/t height, but I recently saw a guy's profile where he spent most of it complaining about and mocking women who specify their pref for taller men blah blah. I hadn't realized it was such a thing on okc cos I don't read other women's profiles much but maybe it is?

No, don't apologize! This is the ILXOR OKC backstage area so you should be able to vent as you like. A fair number of women do specify they're looking for tall men (and hair preferences are generally specified too) and while I find it somewhat crass, it's also well within the bounds of acceptable dating web site behavior. Maybe that guy's had a hard time of it.

Also 38 is close to my age! Totally age-appropriate. What are you doing on Thursday?

I actually have a date Thursday! At least I think it is. But I peeked at your profile and you are absolutely crushworthy.

is feeding/playing with tigers the lady equivalent of men posing in front of machu pichu?

I considered using a photo of me by the giant stone heads on Easter Island, but it somehow seemed like showing off. Of course I am standing there under a red/pink umbrella looking goofy, so the manliness is questionable.

WHAT?? HAIR COLOR? And here I thought I was being unfairly narrow-minded about beards--at least you can shave those off.

idgi how does okcupid know anything about my personally

spoiler: Easter Island heads are actually entire bodies, as a couple have now been excavated

More hair length and approval/disapproval of facial hair, but yeah.

I thought I was being unfairly narrow-minded about beards

oh, you were

oh, they knew they had bodies... there's hundreds of them all over the island with above-ground bodies. the ones in rano raraku they're excavating lately had the body part buried under earth, so the fine carving details were preserved. the ones exposed to sea air are pretty eroded.

I think it's a public misconception due to portrayals that they're just heads?

i can't believe you've been to easter island! i mean i believe you, but so jeal!

if you just see the pictures of the ones at rano raraku (the part of the island where they actually carved the things) then they are just heads, because over time the bodies have been covered by earth. this area is more heavily photographed, because frankly, it looks totally bizarre and magical. all over the rest of the island there are rows of full-body moai on stone platforms called ahu, mostly by the coast. by the time the europeans arrived, the moai were mostly all knocked down, however. it's only since the 50s (IIRC) that various folks have reconstructed the ahu platforms.

easter island is a really fucked up story

i get chills thinking about it

what is easter island

I can't believe you got a date from okc without going there and getting your picture taken.

Does OKC still divide ugly people from attractive people? Because I still think I got thrown into the ugly pool.

how does that work?

Just got another message, this time from a guy in California.

I just REPEL Denver dudes apparently!

(Sorry I keep BANGING ON about this, it's just kinda nuts to me at this point)

I think I didn't participate enough in the site and got thrown to the ugly pool, too. idk

this is all theoretical due to the fact I mothballed it all but I just love this thread so much

I am now considering changing my location to Hanga Roa, Easter Island to see if I can find a match there (you'd like it, La Lechera... you can practice your Spanish there!).

que lindo!

laurel we're an 81% match!!

I don't even look at people that are less than 80% tbh. I figure somewhere along the line they answered that men should be the heads of their households, or that creatonism should be taught in schools, or something.

or they don't fill out the questions ^_^

JUST KIDDING! Some people's answers are a mystery to me, though.

xp haha like that

I like expanding the search worldwide and finding my 99% match who lives in Glasgow and imagine how perfect everything would be. well, except for the 1% of the time we would fight because I couldn't understand what she was saying.

yeah i met a nice girl from glasgow one time and the only thing i could make out was that she thought a lot of stuff fookin' pants

*swoon*

"s' fookin pants man"

first thing i remember whenever i think of her

hahahaha

95% match

Just for shits and gigs I am looking at dudes in Chicago and they are 200% better seeming than the dudes here. There's barely any photos of dudes atop mountains citing their love of the outdoors. <3 <3

i almost never get messages on this anymore, or message anyone. the last person i messaged had a wilhelm reich book in his favorites section and i wrote him about my trip to orgonon and was really surprised he didn't reply!

like...i've sat in an orgone accumulator. i bet he didn't even consider what that implies about my orgiastic potency!

did you okcupid william s burroughs?

i posted a picture of myself at big sur, should i take it down :(

seems like if you live in ca but don't post a pic of yourself in nature yr doing it wrong

my pics are a couple years old now and suck -- i'm rarely in photo-taking situations anymore, it seems

will somebody look @ my profile and give me helpful feedback on getting date for friday w/ hot yoga girl and/or hot barista

i have a feeling this is might be like applying for work on craigslist tho, these girls are probably getting bombarded 82% match or no

i'll look at it if you like, webmail me.

(and yes, hot girls probably getting bombarded)

i'll just throw it out to the teeming hordes

9044za

^ that's backwards

something tells me it is not a coincidence i am distracting myself from resumes and cover letters with this "service"

And she's backed out, serves me right for talking about a date in advance.

xp we are only 84% matches

is the earth *really* bigger than the sun?

pretty good profile, but I don't get a sense of "voice" about you. Is that a lame criticism??! I guess I really look for that. But maybe it's just me.

not just you, i look for that too.

only 84% ? but that's as high w/ people in my area so far (excepting my ex's current boss)

that is my voice, i'm quiet and polite :-D

xp it looks bigger from where i'm sitting

can anybody recommend the relevant anne lamotte article about writing voice

I think all the percents are kind of a red herring? IDK I skipped half the questions, which seems to be about the percentage they asked about w33d
