Glad they went on to talk about the unknown quantity problem, as that was a glaringly obvious flaw in the 'strikingly elegant' solution.

I thought The Atlantic was supposed to be, like, SMART? Why are they publishing non-articles?

I am suddenly a hot commodity on OkC, but seemingly okay dudes! And right when I am in the throes of a very dramatic affair. Interesting.

Ha, the most compatible woman I've seen in weeks and she smokes cigars and owns a gun. OKC is clearly mocking me.

Had date with a comedian last night. It was mostly excruciating - comedo-persona ordered drinks, told me about his career, etc. - but when he lapsed out of comedo-man, I learnt all this really interesting stuff about Canadian politics and the unions! However, NO.
― ljubljana, Friday, 11 January 2013 11:51 (eleven years ago) link
Uuugh. I think that might be an anomaly, fwiw. I can't imagine anyone I personally know in the comedy community endeavouring to act like anything but a human being on a first date. Or maybe I'm just really lucky to know mostly unbroken (relatively unbroken, let's be straight) people in the comedy community.

He wasn't being his 'stage' persona, I don't think, but he was playing up the 'I'm THIS sort of EXTROVERTED PERSON who is ANIMATED, DO YOU SEE???' type... deal... I certainly won't judge a whole community based on 3 hours with an individual! Anyway, when he quit all that, he was very intelligent and interesting to listen to. He just didn't quit it often enough.

If you rate someone what exactly are you rating? Their looks? Their profile? I really need a primer on OKC, sometimes I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing.

If you rate someone what exactly are you rating? Their looks? Their profile?
Generally speaking, I think the stars are just there for you to utilize as you will. However, users can receive a notification if you give them four or five stars. However however, this is an optional feature so maybe hardly anyone receives those notifications. Who can say?

It's optional? I didn't realize that. Sometimes I get them but they're never from anyone good.

when you first sign up one of the hoops you have to jump through is to rate a certain number of people I think? to get 100% completion
I rate people when I like their profile but can't think of anything to say (like maybe they're one of those people who only puts one word or one sentence responses)
also I think OKCupid tiers or used to tier their users - if your average star rating was in the top 50% of OKC's population, then you would be shown more attractive users (i.e. users who were also had a higher starred rating)
― 乒乓, Sunday, 13 January 2013 16:18 (eleven years ago) link
a mutual 4/5 star rating is also a good way to kick off a conversation I guess?
The flip side is that if you use the site less or something you can drop out of tiers due to a lack of ratings, I think.
― mh, Sunday, 13 January 2013 16:22 (eleven years ago) link
also apparently the data reveals that men and women rate each other differently? http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/your-looks-and-online-dating/
