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

haha, well it's doing a job

wdnt say yr profile is stale-seeming on first view, might seem so if you've had it a while. clearly it's gettin' u plans

that one change has put us up to 98% o_O

(Y). probably because i don't put much weight on any questions that don't equate to "are you a fascist?" (tho by 'fascist' i mean anywhere right of, say, rosa luxemburg.)

here is mine, feelin kinda stale lately

Aw shit, man, can I borrow your face Friday night?

gr80, nice profile! Need to fix the spelling of 'despite' in the last bit.

thanks!

I recently got one of those dubious "you're hot, you've been ranked among the top attractive profiles..." Emails. I'm pretty sure this is because the last time I disabled my account, I included as feedback "this site can be incredibly depressing"

Anyhow, these days I mostly spend time hiding people I'll never message. This just started as a way to expedite browsing, and because looking at the same faces over and over gets really wearying (god have mercy on the poor ladies who see my face with every search), but it's become a kind of end in itself, a campaign of total destruction by radical process of elimination, if you will.

yeah, I do that.

i tried to do that once but it just never ended

so you're still doing it is what you're saying

it extended out to the rest of my life, now i try to hide everyone

Does anyone still go here or is this like dating friendster now? I've never gotten a message back from anyone except a guy in the UK so... that's a little too long distance for me.

Or maybe... maybe I'M the creeper?!

I haven't used the site much this year after a particularly boring date, but it still seems pretty active to me, in the DC area. But where do you live, Viceroy? Think it depends a lot on that - the bigger the place, the better.

Also I don't typically respond to people who message me that don't live in my area. I have enough trouble with relationships that I don't want to tack on long-distance to that.

I have my first OKC date tonight. She is the 2nd woman I've asked out on the site, first one I got no answer.

Heh, it looks like it didn't take long for OKC to turn back on their picture-only browsing format.

I live in the outskirts of the Boise "metropolitan" area in Idaho. Not a very large pool I guess, but large enough to have 4 or 5 people I'm interested in who OKC says are good matches...

I get about 1 response for every 7-10 messages I send, so I dunno, it could just be that you have to message more people. It's also worth looking at people's last login time if you're not already, because sometimes they'll show me someone cool, I'll msg them, and then I realize they haven't logged into the site in six months. I never hear back from those people.

oh I see. Thanks for that, I guess I just didn't realize the response to message ratio.

OK, my first OKC date had no sparks but I've now changed my height from the mendacious 5'9" to an honest 5'8" from here on. Here's an article that appeared today which is the sad thinking that caused me to fib in the first place!
http://nypost.com/2013/12/08/short-men-dont-stack-up-with-nyc-women/

Manhattan women are prob just pickier in general & you should be looking at like the ratio of the rate of contacts to short dudes to the rate of contacts to all dudes, also what kind of guy sits around waiting for girls to contact him, also what the fuck is going on with dude's hair in the stock photo accompanying that story!?

not a fan of the rushed Caesar?

Thanks, Dan. It is a very NYC specific thing I think. Anyway my profile now reflects my real height for better or worse. And yes, what a stupid article that is!

Have you considered that your scale might have been off and you're actually 5'9

And that you're actually lying by therefore saying you're 5'8

Id trade back to 5 8 to get any kind of hair at all tbh

Yes, I am thankful I have my hair still, definitely, although the female pop of NYC seems to love bald (if it goes with tall and wiry build, obv)

obv ;_;

I love bald, and shortish, too. As long as you're sexy, it doesn't matter.

PS sexiness has little to do with looks for me, it's a whole 'vibe'

def. agree with that sentiment.

Most recent message. "you are a writer. <:) "

Clever lad! Have a biscuit!

(45% match, 50% enemy. NEXT!)

sexiness is also totally hard to gauge on an online dating profile :/

haha I just logged in for the 1st time in months, purely to snoop on imago's profile (82% Match 86% Friend 0% Enemy btw) and found a month-old message from someone I'd totally have been up for meeting, telling me how excellent my hair is (which yeah tbf). I sent a reply but this exact-opposite-of-real-time conversation is such a weird way to try & engender a relationship imo.

did my profile live up to your internal hype

infernal/internet

:D

have discovered wins. his favourite movie is only my fourth favourite movie. it'll never work

how... did you do that

('Everybody' + 'Match & Last Online' + '100kms' + 'Mexican', 2nd result)

trufax

not really ok with your ability to do that

kinda asking for it tbh

the internet is infernal

look ilx if anyone wants to come over just ask, this computer: enhance stuff idk

are all profiles public -- like, so that people not on OKC can view them?

only if the schmuck owner has forgotten to set it to private

oh jesus

nm false alarm

:'D

so yours isn't public anymore?

i work with kids, sarahell

o btw what do my similar users have written underneath? all of urs have 'more adventurous' probably coz u've answered 25 match questions only

well, neither mordy or I are on OK Cupid and got some serious small o _ capital O's out of yours
