it depends on what else the guy said, honestly.

xp I always thought you are a boy kinda like the German dude I knew named Sasha. Maybe you come off as a boy?
― What the hell is hamster love (CaptainLorax), Tuesday, 27 October 2009 23:53 (fourteen years ago) link
what sarahel said, but no, not immediately. if that is ALL they said, i'd probably be annoyed and not interested.

damn I would put my hand in that sockpuppet

^ the wrong way to go about it
― harbl, Tuesday, 27 October 2009 23:58 (fourteen years ago) link
well the problem is I only want to put my hand in sockpuppets that don't seem interested in me
― iatee, Tuesday, 27 October 2009 23:59 (fourteen years ago) link
xpost - if it were just "hey you're pretty" i probably wouldn't bother replying, if he said other stuff that could start a conversation it could be fine though. it's not a SCARY statement.
i agree that you shouldn't go out with people you're fairly sure you won't be interested in, but it seems to me the bigger issue here is giving out a lot of personal information all at once to someone you're fairly sure you won't be interested in. maybe it's because i'm female and trained into paranoia, but i'd be careful with that even if i felt more excited about the person.

the other issue here is that, if you said you were interested in meeting friends, why it's such a big deal to hang out w/ someone you don't want to fuck. but i guess you do want to meet sex partners and are just being dishonest, which is why most internet sites like this are creepy.

I said I was interested in everything tehresa
― What the hell is hamster love (CaptainLorax), Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:04 (fourteen years ago) link
but maybe I should scratch friends off the list.

OK girls, I'll let you deconstruct how bad my last letter was to random stranger
Subject: hello miss mysterious
I like your profile.. my first impression is that you are adorable. I've always wondered if girls like you that seem to be really strong-willed (second impression) are girly-girls or not?
So that's my question. Do you have a girly-girl side to your personality? How would you describe the part of your personality that you said might get mistaken for "bitch" - the part of your personality that I guessed was strong-willed?
I have a side to me that isn't anything like the pictures of stuffed animals on my profile... yeah, I'm 100% male and probably more hetero than the average guy (that's why once you get to know me I could get away with posting pictures of myself with cuddly stuffed animals)
Please write back :)What is your ethnicity?
(I should of wrote "if you get to know me")
― What the hell is hamster love (CaptainLorax), Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:06 (fourteen years ago) link
it sorta reads like something a 40 year old foreign man would write
― iatee, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:07 (fourteen years ago) link
i think that's a creepy letter and i would not reply.
― tehresa, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:07 (fourteen years ago) link
!
― harbl, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:07 (fourteen years ago) link
What is your ethnicity?
lol crepe

ok stupid cupid
― estela, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:08 (fourteen years ago) link
also
ug my problem is that I listed that I wanted new friends on OK CUPID but I only did that because some girls don't want to date someone unless they become friends first...
made it seem like you listed that you only wanted new friends. but even that seems like a misrepresentation, since you clearly are not interested in making friends. take it off your profile.xpost
― tehresa, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:08 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm 100% male and probably more hetero than the average guy
I mean really
― iatee, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:08 (fourteen years ago) link
hahaha
― tehresa, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:09 (fourteen years ago) link
you saw the picture of the stuffed animals in wydll btw (i had to defend myself for having a main picture like that)and I honestly wanted to know her ethnicity, she has herself listed as asian
― What the hell is hamster love (CaptainLorax), Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:09 (fourteen years ago) link
sorry for harsh but that's really really really rude to ask
― harbl, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:10 (fourteen years ago) link
sometimes I subconsciously make my intro letters bad though
― What the hell is hamster love (CaptainLorax), Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:10 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah that's gonna get you laid
― tehresa, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:11 (fourteen years ago) link
wait, are you saying that you actually sent that message to someone you wanted to date?
― sarahel, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:12 (fourteen years ago) link
why are you asking for advice you clearly have no interest in taking, captain "got any links to free sex sites?" lorax
― lad: "et tu, lady?" (haitch), Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:12 (fourteen years ago) link
believe me I am taking everyone's advice on how bad the last letter was, I knew it was bad but now I know to avoid the ethnicity line etc..
― What the hell is hamster love (CaptainLorax), Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:13 (fourteen years ago) link
I kinda hope for a girl that likes the lovable loser
the 'probably more hetero' line is one of the most ridiculous things you could have said
sorry man

god otm for cancelling that concert.
― estela, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:14 (fourteen years ago) link
but lovable is not really coming through here so...
― tehresa, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:14 (fourteen years ago) link
everyone, please don't suggest ban this guy, that was heart-breakingly hilarious and awful. It's an amazing gift.
― sarahel, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:14 (fourteen years ago) link
what's the girly-girl/strong-willed line of questioning for. it's very off-putting :/
― harbl, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:14 (fourteen years ago) link
the only non off-putting parts are "hello" and "please write back" tbh.
― sarahel, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:16 (fourteen years ago) link
yes i am trying to be constructive because i feel bad for the recipient tbqh
― harbl, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:16 (fourteen years ago) link
avoid "interesting" lines of questioning imo
― any old tawny port in a storm (electricsound), Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:16 (fourteen years ago) link
you should not have a bar of any girl who would reply to a letter like that.
― estela, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:16 (fourteen years ago) link
constructive = not saying what i would like to say which is more omgwtf
― harbl, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:17 (fourteen years ago) link
I mean, an ideal girl for me would be one who doesn't get offended when I write a stupid letter. she would be laid back but even if I wanted an ideal girl I suppose I should make my intro letters way less stupid
― What the hell is hamster love (CaptainLorax), Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:17 (fourteen years ago) link
trust me you don't want a girl who wouldn't see anything wrong with that lettersorry
― harbl, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:18 (fourteen years ago) link
^^ lol! but we're both sockpuppets, so don't mind us. Keep it up!
― sarahel, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:18 (fourteen years ago) link
i think that's what estela said but i don't know what "have a bar" means haha
tbh the "please write back" seems a little desperate and sad and thus off-putting imo.
― tehresa, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 00:18 (fourteen years ago) link
it means tolerate in strine
