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

you're not unique though. like a lot of guys say creepy, homophobic things to people. it's not good.

dating sites suck for unique crepey people

so do vacuum cleaners

hey now

vacuum cleaners suck for everyone - unless they are broken.

no I don't think that actually works :(

I have never tried tho cause it would be kinda homo

unless it was a pink vacuum cleaner or something

look at that saucy little devil

wow it's even called 'hetty'!!!

I would like to date someone, but... I can't bring myself to sign up for OkCupid. there's gotta be a better way!

have you heard of hetty, ian

I think I need to make changes in how I come off on dating websites.

I don't think I come off anywhere near as weird in real life or else I wouldn't be getting laid

But the idea of not being able to explain who I am on a website is making me sick so I'm leaving ILX for good

I'm not a creep in real life
Some people do act funnily stupid like Homer in real life

I hope for my sake that my friends, family and future coworkers will never find these posts

awesome

it's just so romantic ...

i really can't decide if lorax is a sock or not

if he is, the person responsible is the most amazing puppeteer ever

sarahel if u care i am playing rekkerds now on eastvillageradio.com

a mellow night.

no chixxx.

i've heard of that actually - i thought it was a storefront space? but yeah, doing a radio show isn't a great way to meet people - been there.

Too bad Cassavetes isn't around to turn this thread into another masterpiece. Would someone give Elaine May the money to do it?

I must say, all of this talk has really made me convinced that I should create an OkCupid account. It sounds like there are a lot of unique personalities out there.

holy shit, lorax.

In case you are still reading this and not a sockpuppet, the point isn't that you're too unique for most girls, it's that you're flipping back and forth (in the pasted email) between trying to convey that uniqueness through quirk of writing, and trying to cover it up/explain it away. This is separate from the whole issue of just saying kind of rude/awkward stuff like asking their ethnicity or the whole "your type of girl" which most people aren't going to receive well - I mean, right or wrong, I like to think of me as ME rather than as a member of a type, you know? There's actually very little in that email that feels specific to the person you're writing to, and that's going to get it quietly ignored more than anything. The whole "that's my question" thing is just out of place - it makes it seem like you don't have much to say to her but felt obligated to say something, you know?

Just talk to them as the person they are on their profile and have a conversation with them (if they go for it). But you have to figure out why you're on the site and why you're emailing these particular people.

should all be taken with a grain of salt, tho, as it's been two years since i got laid from okcupid. I think my profile probably reads as pervy and nerdy to 99% of anybody, but I'm kind of OK with that because pervy nerdy people are what I'm after, etc. Not sure if this is really distinct from Lorax's "uniqueness" line but whatevs.

ps in case it's not clear above, I don't think conveying uniqueness through quirk of writing is a good idea, AT ALL
pps fair being fair my wordy, over-long okcupid profile is "alkibiades" for anyone that wants to heap on the abuse!

THREAD-KILLING advice, ladies and gentlemen!

Not your fault, we were in a mood of mourning after driving lorax away.

he should of wrote "if you get to know me"

THREAD-KILLING advice, ladies and gentlemen!

Don't worry - LJ will be back in a matter of days, presumably.

OMG I totally just joined this. My roommate made me ("strongly encouraged" is, I believe, the polite term).

I'm going to write the arsiest profile, though.

let us help u

I have some photos you can use

Oh okay thanks. NO WAIT

Crepe-Suzette.

I kinda hope for a girl that likes the lovable loser

I guess it's unsporting to reply to Lorax a week after the fact, but I think both losers and those who might potentially love them are done a great disservice by all those Hollywood rom-coms where the beautiful starlet is bowled over by the sudden realisation of acute loserphilia

RIP Lorax, I snapped at you on some other "why don't girls like me with all my lovable flaws PS i just rudely brushed off a girl for having a flaw" thread so I guess you are not exactly looking for my opinion, but I will miss yr posts nonetheless

I like that it thinks I am a "similar user" to girls who are aged 20. Actually no I don't like that at all.

i got a free month of a-list, so if anyone wants some AWARDZ just lemme know
