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

it changed my matches pretty thoroughly tbh, before i was getting all chix w/match percentiles in the 90s of varying levels of hotness, now i pretty uniformly get hotties but will literally see girls in my match queue with 0% match

I was getting 0% cuties before, tho! Those ones were weird tho, it was like ppl whod never filled in the questions hence 0%.

I got an AMAZING match the other week, a really intriguingly weird guy, went to send him a msg and realised he had not logged on since 2008 :( BOOH.

I noticed a big change in my matches but
a) it is showing a 25 mile radius nowadays
b) TONS of new people signed up recently

You know you can set your filters to show varying distances, as well as when ppl logged on last, if theyre single or not, etc...

^^ okc pro talk

I dont know wether to laugh or cry at that observation ;D

real pros do both

heh.

otm

I dont think it gets much smaller than 25 miles tho..? And when you live in LA County 25 miles might as well be planet earth.

Oh rite, I was thinking in the other direction. I have mine set to about 500.

-Girl 1 who hit me up has, after a few dates, cooled out a little bit, which is fine. We would make rad friends imo but she reminds me too much of a particular ex for me to want to get really involved tbrr.

-This girl 2 I was gonna go out of town to see this weekend canceled on me at the last minute, trip postponed to next weekend. I didn't mind so much becaaaaaause

-Wound up hearing from a girl 3 who, in lieu of road trip, I had the chance to meet up with this weekend, and that turned out to be pretty rad. We talked about books and teaching and writing for like 2 solid coffee date hours.

OKC is also how I met a girl, back in November, who has since become one of my closest friends in DC & the catalyst for my entire v fulfilling social life, so I am pretty pleased with how this thing is treating me and if they go pay-per-month at some point I would probably pay, cause why not pay for a service that's bringin u such tangible meeting-people benefits imo?

Hooray for v fulfilling DC social life! This is the correct OKC spirit (until you suddenly get sick of it for a while and take a few months' break, only to return refreshed).

My long-distance boyfriend disappeared, being in debt to me to the tune of two million dollars. I hope he turns up soon so I can sue him for emotional distress. He can keep his two million, it isn't enough to pay for the pain.

What he can do if he decides to care is locate a suitable and more responsible and attentive replacement for himself. He spends a lot of time on his charity, if he really cares surely he can find time to do this.

No person in their right mind is going to wait several years for someone to explain himself. I hope I can find a good attorney to drive that point home because he won't pay what he owes me.

In other words, nice knowing ya toots, have fun finding a new woman.

two million dollars?

!

can we date?

(do you still have money beyond the $2m?)

i have a bank account you can temporarily transfer funds for urgency and necessary obtainings as a codicil and testament.

also i have just won $4m in a lottery but i need a bank account in order to transfer the funds into

Wow, and I thought my two THOUSAND debt was bad, and it took me months to be willing to walk away from that money if need be. And need WAS. Oh well. Thanks for nothing in 2009, okc!

OK this thread has taken a weird turn.

Was u s steel's post in the real first-person, or was that the text from someone's okcupid profile for commentary? I don't know how to respond until I know this crucial fact.

u s steel is an unusual poster tbh

He left me with properties and business formulas worth at least that much.

It's the emotional distress that he thinks he's not guilty of, like being around him is worth any humiliation.

well at least it wasn't herpes

Why is this on okcupid thread? So confused.

going to see "true grit" for date #6 with girl #3 on wednesday. she's the fittest and most chill so far, so hope this works out. even my nan is asking about her :)

can i have some of these properties?

i'll skip on the herpes though thanks

bcz this is u_s steel we're talking about, u_s steel does what u_s steel wants

ie trolls and i would not be surprised if this story were 100% true or 100% false

or 100% the product of lack of certain medications.

ANYWAY. I have been sending ppl messages and STILL NO REPLIES. Am I doin' it rong?

morelike "o_0 steel" amirite?

I posted here cos I met my ex on OKC altho we had met in rl before that and just re-connected online.

was chatting with a girl on okc briefly last week but haven't heard from her since so shrug.

Yay a guy replied to my message and is cuet! Thank you Swervedriver gig for being an excellent icebreaker. This could be interesting.

don't lend him any money, is my advice

lol

old news, man

still relevant to this stupid site

No, I mean someone posted it upthread.

still lol tho

"hey guess which one of these 10 girls picked you on quickmatch"

hmm i wonder if it is the one i find totally repellent

OK so this other guy's also messaged me who is pretty good looking but his grammar is atrocious. Am I being a snob to be put off by that?

I mean, it is making him seem kind of dim, tbh.

trust your instincts, padawan

HI&QI

yeah i mean people who say "message me if you know the difference between 'you're' and 'your'" are total flaccid city but that doesn't mean you can't have standards for intelligence
