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

I have definitely seen these ukulele people.

you're living in a uke generation, deal with it

explain what is so terrible about playing the ukulele

awww here it goes

lol I posted that mostly so gr80 could ask that very question

lol full disclosure i went on a really great 2nd date with a ukulele player this past weekend

I feel like being able to see your 4 and 5-star ratings is the important advantage here (I used to check my app daily because even if you didn't pay it would tip you a new person every so often). It's the equivalent of being able to see who's smiling at you from across the room or w/e.

In my experience, I have never once been pursued by, nor ever pursued anyone, because of a 4-5 star rating.

ugh ukulele people just no

TS: ukes vs tigers

one of my friends was playing a few years ago, and i even got her a book of how to play some taylor swift jams on the uke for her past birthday

it's sad to see people here still don't know what they're talking about, but i'm not even supposed to be lurking now, so

i don't remember that scene from The Dark Knight Rises

it's so twee and annoying and LOOK AT ME I AM CUTE AND QUIRKY WHEEEE!

it's sad to see people here still don't know what they're talking about

markers, are you really telling people you know the right way to do dating again?

I'm sorry, Markers. I just hate a lot of things.

Including the ukulele and the fact that Taylor Swift for the ukulele books exist even though I love TS herself. <3

I hate the idea of a world where I can't crack jokes about being repulsed by trivial details only to be questioned by gr80

searching this thread for "what is wrong with" or "what is so terrible about" is its own reward, really

In my experience, I have never once been pursued by, nor ever pursued anyone, because of a 4-5 star rating.

i feel like i shouldn't really tell the thread that this girl also has purple hair but there it is

mh, obviously we are expecting a hilarious diatribe about why ukes are awful. you're putting out the line!
case in point E's conflicted love of Taylor Swift vs. the Swift Ukulele Brigade. relax and accept.

gr8080 GO ON.

This is pretty much it right here.

Who among us will turn away the next purple-haired ukulele playing twee harlot?

i cannot muster any enthusiasm whatsoever for cute ukelele performances. believe me, i have tried.

I feel like ukulele playing young people of a certain age is so obv annoying that it's like bacon/mustache how is this even a question territory.

btw there is also the chance that i have misread this entire thing as I only got 3 hrs sleep so i'm sorry if that is the case

Can you only see who 4/5'd you when you sign up and pay?

just when you thought it was safe: return of the IA

Oh no I think this is very rational thank you v much. ;)

I know so many ppl w/ ukeleles it's risky to make fun of them. seems to be a chink in many otherwise untwee ppl's armour. this photo of rob newman put me off checking him out for a while

you can trump the ukulele players by taking up the accordion

Can you only see who 4/5'd you when you sign up and pay?

iirc this is the case

(i assume you are asking if it also shows you who 1, 2 or 3-starred you, which it does not)

I think there's a fine line. If you're maybe 40+ and have been playing for years and have a very long beard or live in the mountains or some shit then fair play but no to the younger unicycle riding mumford and sons covering look at me I am *such* a character types etc.

Also either we stop or start a uke specific thread because I give 2 mins before Grady starts bitching.

oh or are you asking if there is anyway to see who 4 or 5-starred you while using the free version?

if that's your question, the answer is: OKC will tip you off to a few, but by no means all

xposts

Thanks Grady, indeed meant if there is any way to see them (not particularly interested to see if I've been 1-starred lol).

Am happily dating atm but signed up for this myself, just to have a look. Bizarre to see how many ppl are acting 'witty', 'funny' and ~ironic~ Feels like wading through a muddy river.

pr0-tip: if you use the iOS app, the "who likes you" tab shows a few recent 4-5-starrers while obscuring the nusername but also displaying their age, location, and your % match, which can occasionally be enough info (with some detective work, eg looking at your recent visitors) to possibly tip you off to one or two

(not sure if the android app does this, the website version def does not)

personally i have been sticking to an "only log in when someone sends me a message" strategy lately and i am happier for it

Ooh I didn't have the app yet but that is a pr0-tip Grady http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/yes/giving-thumbs-up-winking-smiley-emoticon.gif

oh boy

here guys

Ukeleles

lol at that Amanda Palmer cover

Thanks for the info, grady. I didn't even know there was a 1-5 star rating system until now.

If I run into any funny shenanigans while using this site, I'll post about it here. I'm assuming that's all I'll get out of this site, but trying to keep an open mind.
