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

it might be one of those things where you know you're going to think of something funny so you go ahead and get the first half of the sentence out there while you work on creating the second half

he was gonna say it's sleazy 5eva

thanks to ILX i realised a friend of mine was totally on a PUA steez, it explained a lot

shudder

it's rape

BOOM BOOM

I'm thinking v-day proper. B_g, bemelmans martinis last for about and they give you a ton of snacks to go with...totally worth it on a night when you are free. Plus sparkling piano man singing American standards in the background.

i know how you love your standards!

I'm listening to Sinatra singing standards right now. I'm trying to replace my okc obsession with a deep delving into the American songbook. By the way, b_g, you were in my dream last nite. We were both pregnant :0. Also, Ian was our boss and he favored you.

The Bemelman's almonds or mixed nuts/whatever are kind of famous, no?

Oh, freshly fried potato chips, they had those last time I was there.

we've been over this, but I'm not dropping big bucks at the Carlyle

i dearly hope i am not irl pregnant but i had a pregnancy dream last night as well! a friend was pregnant (and also HALF PIG) and not me, though.

They have three kinds of fancy snacks: potato chips, nuts and pretzels, maybe?

Sounds like its going to be an intimate night for laurel and I at the Carlyle:)

Possibly we have one martini at the fancy and then go to Subway for the rest.

do people have to dress up to go to the carlyle?

In our best duds.

xp I was just going to add!

Omg, how strange. You were openly pregnant and I was secretly pregnant and you were the first person I told, due to your experience with pregnancy.

Haha, I think you can wear whatever you want; they're not judgmental at all and they treat you so nicely there however you're dressed. I'll try to step it up a bit though, just for fun.

had a very nice second date with a OKC lady this past thurs, but now she's off for a week's vacation abroad starting sunday

shot her a friendly text yesterday ("have a great trip!" etc) but now i gotta wait and stew. things are likely alright, but damn the overanalysis

datinggggggggggg --- womennnnnnnnnnnnnn

aaaaaand i reactivated my profile today, added a few pictures, edited a sentence or two. but i think i'm going to kind of be ultra-relaxed about it and only check it if i get a message or something. if it happens to work, that's great, and if nothing happens, no big whoop.

48-Year-Old Man Actually Very Open To Dating 25-Year-Olds

lol @ surname being "Bogan" =)

I would like someone to write a profile for me, which I could then modify. I asked Jenny but I'm not sure she's into it. Is this a bad idea? I've written a number of these things and it's always the same crap and I'd like a fresh starting point.

I was in a very honest and confident mood a few weeks ago and wrote up some new material. I may locate it and update sometime!

What can a profile really say about a person? It seems like there is nothing I can write that would give any impression of who I am or what I am looking for in a person. Is it like how job interview questions are less about the substance of the answer than how the answer is given?

Rhetorical questions, mostly. Not actually grilling you/y'all.

that is pretty existential, dunno what you're looking for. can a person really ~understand~ you after one or two dates, either?

Just thinking aloud, musing I guess. But the thing is, when you meet a person in person you have enormous amounts of sensory information that you don't have from a profile. Seems like 1 minute in person is worth a whole OKC profile.

I got a lot of response from a hook-up site when on a whim I changed my headline to "Mr. Right plz to come here." Actually got a couple dates, and one guy mentioned the headline.

OK. Laurel and I are meeting at Bemelman's Tuesday night around 7. Who is in? On to Subway after, around 8, 8:30ish.

The thought of re-instating my profile fills me with dread. Yeah, I can judge a person with 1 second of meeting them.

Jesse--I could try and write your profile. I would need some info from you tho:)

I wish I could just say to all the single boys on ILX "anyone wanna go on a date with me?". itd be so much easier than this poopy OKC crap.

Ha, are there many in your hemisphere?

I almost felt inebriated enough for a moment to re-load my profile, but then I got distracted by the Grammys.

I'm over wishy-washy dating; I'm ready for mutual attraction. Does that still exist?

VP that might work though I'll have to let you know when the booze has left my system.

Trayce, I would totally accept a date w/ you except for the matter of sexual orientation.

Jesse, we could exchange deets and write each others' profiles. Comedic hijinks ensue.

VP: no thats the problem ;_;

i'm back in OKC land and am grabbing a drink with someone on Tuesday. tmi but this is my first ever date with someone who is bi

I have a terrible confession - after dating a bi guy I am somewhat bi-phobic. Sorry.

ZS have you ever had a threesome?

nope

and shit, just realized the drink with someone on tuesday is...valentine's day. that kind of ruins my plan of setting a new solo drinking record and then passing out with my shoes on

Oh man I'm sorry I asked. It feels like I asked my brother that question.

oh, no big deal

i mean this thread is de-indexed (right?) so who cares.

Only thing I learned from OKC was that if someone says they're mentally ill on there, it's a good idea to believe them.

i feel like i could trust a female bi person more. that might be fucked up and sexist. it was just weird for me b/c there was a very, very sexually aggressive woman pursuing me who he encouraged me to fuck so that he could get a chance to be w/ a woman.

anyway, good luck and keep your mind open i guess.

that sounds discouraging but i mean it.

Why does the fact someone's bi always lead to questions about threesomes and/or infidelity risks? It bugs me.

because that is all these bisexual monsters care about
