if you are looking for women, it may be comforting to know that in seeking dudes they generally are more into "cute" then model-pretty. that opens up quite a bit of room in which to work. i mean, maybe you look like the phantom of the opera or the beast but are possessed of a particularly engaging personality. ppl want someone they feel comfortable around and can have fun with, not an image to worship.

Yep, TT, I thought so too.

Okay, pretty sure I've either dated, gone on a bad date with, messaged, or am not interested in every woman on here within 25 miles.

(small city, so this is entirely plausible)

Argh, fuck it. Profile reinstated. Sort of, anyway; I did kind of burn it to the ground first, so there's a lot of question re-answering to do. This time I'll wait until I have a photo that's not utterly fucking awful, though that may take a long time since I don't have friends, a camera, or a particularly pleasant face.

looking at "men seeking women" on here and really, if you've made some sort of effort to look vaguely well dressed, clean and friendly, then you're already doing better than the 70% of guys who seem to have taken a grainy pic of themselves looking angry/puzzled into a webcam.

got some 4/5 stars from cuet girls so feeling better, anyway :)

max arrrrrgh, Monday, 20 September 2010 22:33 (thirteen years ago) link

i deleted my account last night. it felt good!

homosexual II, Monday, 20 September 2010 22:35 (thirteen years ago) link

ppl have said that there is this huge surplus of awesome women on there in comparison to the terrible men prospects

gotta admit that i have found that almost every woman the system matches me with is good-looking, interesting, smart, etc.

they're just not for me, though.

i have been seeing someone on/off for the last year and a half who is somebody that i would be instantly repulsed by if i read a profile she wrote. but in reality the chemistry is wonderful. it is a mystery.

dude (del), Monday, 20 September 2010 22:45 (thirteen years ago) link

a lot of the guys are probably alright, but just thought:

"grainy webcam pic next to i like man u + xbox, yeah, that'll do."

max arrrrrgh, Monday, 20 September 2010 22:56 (thirteen years ago) link

do girls get a shitload of messages on this? should i even bother sending someone a message if we haven't rated both rated 4/5?

ed chilliband (max arrrrrgh), Sunday, 26 September 2010 17:34 (thirteen years ago) link

I changed my "looking for" to "everyone" and "interested in" to "friendship".

i am meeting some girl who has a kid. somehow missed the kid part when i asked her :/

One of my profile answers, to the question "what are you good at?", is something like "Cooking: I'm better than yo mama".

I found this in my inbox this morning:

"Correction
Sep. 26, 2010 – 9:23pm
You're not better than my momma at cooking.

Mum not only cooks me 'breakfast' and 'lunch', but also 'second lunch', 'after lunch' and 'predinner'. It's up to me to cook 'dinner', but we only drink glasses of water for dinner, then it's mum's turn again to cook 'post dinner', 'after dark meal', 'nearly bed meal' and then 'midnight feast'.

Good luck with the quizzes and such, (i didn't really bother that mcuh but apparently i'm good at quizzes from a quiz mum took on my behalf.

Gotta go, Mum just slipped over.
Dave "

Kind of actually cracking up at this.

I just msged a guy cos he'd looked at my profile and when I read his, I was going "uh huh... check... yep... omg cool! haha yes..." to the whole damn thing. Freaky. He may not reply, bit of an age diff, but eh. Can only try!

cathedral-sized jellyfish in your mind (Trayce), Monday, 27 September 2010 08:44 (thirteen years ago) link

OMG he replied! :D And said "anyone who likes cheese and mentions Futurama six times in their profile has to be awesome".

Also he is cute. Yay!

it is truly amazing what people think is a good photo to showcase themselves with.

progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 28 September 2010 11:45 (thirteen years ago) link

I suffer from severe slim pickings on the photo front, so it's more beggars can't be choosers for me.

krakow, Tuesday, 28 September 2010 11:50 (thirteen years ago) link

Its really not that hard to get a good pic of oneself, and if its not a good pic, dont post it!

cathedral-sized jellyfish in your mind (Trayce), Tuesday, 28 September 2010 11:53 (thirteen years ago) link

I disagree, I think it can be very hard to get a good picture of oneself. You ideally need someone else to take a photo, the results are generally much better, especially if they know what they're doing and/or luck strikes.

krakow, Tuesday, 28 September 2010 11:57 (thirteen years ago) link

I guess... I just take a bajillion pics til one looks ok!

cathedral-sized jellyfish in your mind (Trayce), Tuesday, 28 September 2010 12:03 (thirteen years ago) link

You ideally need someone else to take a photo

Well yes - the other thing about a good photo is that it insinuates that you have at least one friend

progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 28 September 2010 12:10 (thirteen years ago) link

It's just unbelievable the number of people who post up a grainy webcam grab of them in a darkened room looking at their monitor.. It's like... really???

progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 28 September 2010 12:11 (thirteen years ago) link

"All this could be yours my sweet"

progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 28 September 2010 12:11 (thirteen years ago) link

Guy mentioned above seems really awesome and sweet and compatible (and v cute) and already saying "lets meet up on the weekend". Well I'll be.

cathedral-sized jellyfish in your mind (Trayce), Wednesday, 29 September 2010 23:33 (thirteen years ago) link

Just stumbled across the profile of the girl I just hired. Yikes!

funky house skeptic (polyphonic), Wednesday, 29 September 2010 23:35 (thirteen years ago) link

seeing someone incredibly nice-seeming tomorrow! and it isn't really a date. well, it sort of is. more of a day out.

acoleuthic, Wednesday, 29 September 2010 23:51 (thirteen years ago) link

LJ I tht you already had some booteh.

cathedral-sized jellyfish in your mind (Trayce), Thursday, 30 September 2010 00:35 (thirteen years ago) link

Brief relapse into one-night stand idiocy last week partially excused by being the result of a school reunion, actually really like the person I'm seeing later so things will be taken much more slowly

acoleuthic, Thursday, 30 September 2010 00:36 (thirteen years ago) link

Nice work! :)

I'm kind of a bit ^_^ abt meeting this guy Ive been talking to - the fact he's jumped right into "when can we meet?" after only 3 message back and forths is total KIP awes for me. None of this interweb dancing about.

cathedral-sized jellyfish in your mind (Trayce), Thursday, 30 September 2010 00:40 (thirteen years ago) link

if you're not talking about meeting within a couple of days/5 emails then chances are you are FAFFING

acoleuthic, Thursday, 30 September 2010 00:41 (thirteen years ago) link

I guess so! Another OKC chap I talk to I still havent met yet - but its more cause we decided we're happy just chatting as friends and he live sso far outin the burbs it was all a bit inconvenient anyways.

cathedral-sized jellyfish in your mind (Trayce), Thursday, 30 September 2010 01:01 (thirteen years ago) link

I have been a freak magnet on OkCupid these past few days. The other night, some Tantra guru in Ohio was IMing me doing my numerology chart. He told me that I was "intensely sexual" and that sex was a sacred act for me. LOL. He also wanted to take me out for dinner. I guess he didn't realize that I was in another state? Also, an 18 year old security guard at a casino IMed me and ALSO wanted to take me out for dinner.

I have also been sexually harassed a lot in the past few days. I've had a few nasty IMs; one guy last night asked me if I wanted to be his fuck buddy, and I said: "I'm not really in the mood for that right now - I want a gushy, sappy, pathetic crush." And his response was: "Sounds gay."

everybody who 4/5 stars me is like 200 miles away at least :(

was talking to one local girl, but she stopped messaging me after i said i had no idea what i'd be doing with my life in 10 years. sheesh. she was only 23, as well.

ed chilliband (max arrrrrgh), Wednesday, 6 October 2010 15:42 (thirteen years ago) link

A lot of weirdos and guys looking for booty calls seem to IM me and/or message me. Anytime I message someone legitimately interesting who looks like someone I would actually date, they almost always never answer.

homosexual II, Wednesday, 6 October 2010 15:46 (thirteen years ago) link

aren't there swinger sites and stuff for ppl who just wanna "toot it and boot it"?

for the love of god turn off IM

I messaged a girl yesterday! She's a 97% match! We sent each other like 10 long, interesting messages over the course of the day! I like her prose style a lot! She's really pretty! We're going to get coffee sometime this week! Nothing is wrong!

someone being a combination of smart, funny, interesting AND good looking is like... rare.
