OK, so how does this here thing work?

I've been clicking through photos for ten minutes and haven't found one single dirty dronerock boy yet. :-(

Wait, I stand corrected. I have found my dream man, but he lives in Canada. Typical!

Do we all still do this? I decided to update my profile.

This guy is currently stranger arranged with the OKCupider I've fallen rather strongly in love with. Look at his favourite bands list.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 21 October 2004 18:31 (nineteen years ago) link

ie This person has been linked up via the new "stranger arranger" feature with the okcupid user Dom has taken a fancy to.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 21 October 2004 18:32 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh, I didn't know there was a such thing as the stranger arranger. I just thought someone was high.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 21 October 2004 18:41 (nineteen years ago) link

Well, that too.

I've been playing on okcupid a lot lately. There are lots of funny tests now and there's pretty girls on there who are interesting and stuff.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 21 October 2004 18:48 (nineteen years ago) link

agreed, some of these girls are going to be total catches when they grow up

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 21 October 2004 18:52 (nineteen years ago) link

I have too, recently.

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 21 October 2004 18:53 (nineteen years ago) link

hey you know the picture rating thing that doesn't really seem to do much? did you guys know that there's a secret 'hot' list that they only tell you about if you're on it?

― Kim (Kim), Friday, 22 October 2004 00:25 (nineteen years ago) link

Kim, shhh!

― Paul Eater (eater), Friday, 22 October 2004 01:01 (nineteen years ago) link

oh yeah right, it's "top secret". I'd better watch my back.

― Kim (Kim), Friday, 22 October 2004 01:04 (nineteen years ago) link

Astonishingly I didn't know about that, but Kim did - how extraordinary!

TOO FUCKING HOT

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 23 May 2005 19:46 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh goodness, I thought I was the only ilXor to have one of these. I thought the rest would stay away. I'm dead wrong.

Congratulations. You've been chosen for the 'Hot List'; according to our matching algorithm, you're currently one of the 2500 most desirable people on OkCupid.

The complete list is here:
http://www.okcupid.com/hotlist

Number #2358 is YOU. We compile this thing every night, and you could move up or down, depending on who's born.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 23 May 2005 21:01 (eighteen years ago) link

Congratulations, Andrew! I am just relieved I haven't had a "Commiserations. You have been chosen for the 'Cold List' - you are currently one of the 2500 least desirable people in the world."

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 23 May 2005 21:15 (eighteen years ago) link

two months pass...

So yeah, am I the only ILXor still using OKC? The quality of my matches has increased exponentially in the past few weeks, yay me.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:12 (eighteen years ago) link

Is it worth signing up?

― Alec Tea-Skirt (kate), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:15 (eighteen years ago) link

I am on there but it's largely useless due to my lack of ability to fill in a profile.

― tissp! (the impossible shortest specia), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:15 (eighteen years ago) link

I've not looked in ages, i've received a few mails lately but they've been binned unopened.

― leigh (leigh), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:16 (eighteen years ago) link

no one ever replies to my messages :(

(but then again my profile is representative of some weird dude who cuts himself)

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:17 (eighteen years ago) link

haha xpost i bet i sent you one of those leigh

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:18 (eighteen years ago) link

It is worth signing up, but probably only if you're actually looking for a partner. It's too much effort to just find "friends", to be honest. And you need to answer at least 1,000 questions for your results to be of any use, but then again, office boredom will see that pass in about three hours.

I recommend it.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:18 (eighteen years ago) link

Actually, I was on it last year. And I met exactly one dude. Who, coincidentally, actually had ginger hair and a pointy nose. But it just kind of fizzled out. Mainly because I wasn't feeling very pro-sex or pro-relationship at all.

― Alec Tea-Skirt (kate), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:19 (eighteen years ago) link

I've looked back at my deleted mail and they seem to consist of geeky guys in their early 20s with awful taste in music and a fondness for Terry Pratchet.

― leigh (leigh), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:24 (eighteen years ago) link

Now I remember why I deleted my profile... just couldn't be bothered to return any emails. Sigh. I liked the taking tests bit, though.

― Alec Tea-Skirt (kate), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:26 (eighteen years ago) link

I do love how it's got my personality down pat:

Compared to males his age:

He's sloppier
He's less trusting
He's cruder
He's less organized
He's greedier
He's more independent
He's more introverted

Don't all rush at once girls.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:29 (eighteen years ago) link

stop boasting about not bothering to reply to mail(male) please! dammit i'd be lucky to have any to reply to. :\\

although i actually met up with a girl from there one time (way way back from when it all started though). I wonder if okcupid has lost the momentum.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:31 (eighteen years ago) link

I used to get lots of mail when I signed in last spring, but nowadays, nothing. I also met a girl through OKCupid who turned out to be a bit scary, and that got me off it for awhile. But I rechecked it a while ago, and now I've exhchanged mails with someone interesting. Most of my top matches in Finland seem to be Goths and roleplayers, I'm not sure why.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Saturday, 6 August 2005 12:17 (eighteen years ago) link

I just changed my profile a little bit and now a million people are trying to IM me. I guess that's the secret.

― Cathy (Cathy), Saturday, 6 August 2005 13:15 (eighteen years ago) link

i'm going to change my profile to say i'm female to see if my IMs shoot up.

p.s. i just got a woo!

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 6 August 2005 15:22 (eighteen years ago) link

It is worth signing up, but probably only if you're actually looking for a partner. It's too much effort to just find "friends", to be honest.

Funnily enough, I only seem to be finding friends and not partners. Then again, I'm far too bewildering for 99.9% of Tallahassee. I've met one girl on there and we played Uno on a deck at a local lake but it wasn't romantic in any sense. I actually ran into the girl at a concert on Wednesday and after we figured out who we were we didn't speak to each other for the rest of the evening, but personally I was intimidated because she brought along a friend who gave me one really funny look and that kept me from saying more.

It's just another of those half-hearted things I signed up to, just to do the tests really - I can never really think of anything much to say if I get rare email or whatever.

― jel -- (jel), Saturday, 6 August 2005 16:53 (eighteen years ago) link

i was really into taking the tests for about a week and after that i lost interest/forgot about it completely until this thread.

― tehRZA gibbons (tehresa), Saturday, 6 August 2005 17:01 (eighteen years ago) link

I just got a woo from this guy but I am too awed by his profile to make contact. He is some kind of amazing-man!

― Cathy (Cathy), Saturday, 6 August 2005 18:07 (eighteen years ago) link

best message ever:
"wow that is a great picture. . not to be offensive but the way the background looks it looks like yer in what I imagine to be a crackhouse with stuff written on bare drywall. . .which would explain the quality of the picture. . . "

― tehRZA gibbons (tehresa), Saturday, 6 August 2005 18:23 (eighteen years ago) link

almost unbelievably, i'm already dating my best local match (not because of okCupid of course) so their questionnaire thingamajig just *might* actually work.

― Kim (Kim), Saturday, 6 August 2005 18:34 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't know Cathy, there are big flaws there. He names Isaac Asimov among his favourite writers, and the questions he particularly cares about include:
Do you have experience being in a slave/master relationship?
Is your duty to religion/God even more important than your family?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 6 August 2005 18:37 (eighteen years ago) link

I am an old-fashioned sincere sort of a fellow, who doesn't like mind games in relationships! That's why I've never been in one

I am fine with Isaac Asimov, but for some reason this is the bit that made me go "ok, no".

― Cathy (Cathy), Saturday, 6 August 2005 18:47 (eighteen years ago) link

Has anyone ever written one of these profiles with the line "I am a big fan of mind games in relationships"?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 6 August 2005 18:48 (eighteen years ago) link

What does 'mind games' even mean anyway? I mean, no one wants to go out with someone who is cruelly manipulative. I think I interpret "doesn't like mind games" as "scared by and distrustful of women". Perhaps i am wrong.

― Cathy (Cathy), Saturday, 6 August 2005 18:58 (eighteen years ago) link

As someone jumping into this thread without reading it: I live in a remote, backwards part of northern England, never go out because I don't have any friends within 100 miles, and have given up on ever finding a relationship ever again, mostly because if I ever do find anyone who thinks I look attractive, they will run away from my personal history and list of favoured kinks. Should I try signing up for this thing, or am I doomed?

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Saturday, 6 August 2005 19:01 (eighteen years ago) link

There are many women on dating sites saying the same things about mind games. I think there are people who have been fucked around with, or think they have, and are on the lookout for more. Obviously people looking to fuck around with someone are not likely to think "Oh okay, this person is against mind games, I'll look elsewhere..."

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 6 August 2005 19:02 (eighteen years ago) link

I haven't logged in in ages!

From a guy in my hometown:
