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

It says: "In general, males are about as good as females at spotting virgins. But females almost always guess correctly with female pairs."

Unless my logic is skewy, surely this also implies that men alomst always guess correctly with male pairs, unless they instead make up all the ground by getting much better scores in the mixed pair ones, which would be very odd.

Women

f/f = 90
m/f = 75
m/m= 45

Men =

f/f = 68%
m/f = 75%
m/m = 67%

Which would be mean men are better at spotting m/f than either m/m or f/f. Hmm.. that would also be weird. Other combinations I've tried result in both sexes being bettter at spotting female virgins than male ones, which seem noteworthy enough for them to put up on the website.

Can you come up with a set of average scores that fits what we know without any interesting implications at all?

Bob's organized, ambitious, and smart. I wish I were more Radcliffy like he, because I can't get a job at Morgan Stanley. He needs to fuckin' loosen up, though

I don't like this new layout. The most off-putting part is probably the "Real Friends: None (0)" part. Sheesh.

x-post.

OMG teh oxymoron!11

You can appreciate this bizarre social experiment.

OKCupid.com, Pt.2- Afterparty! Hotel lobby! REMIX!

The punchline, of course, was that her profile said she was looking for someone "who could be honest with (her)".

Loads of you haven't even filled in any information, come on, that's the most interesting bit, not your moody rubbish photos, ch.

ok dude

ah, the innocent days when OkCupid ruled the online dating landscape.

sigh

incredibly beautiful person who messaged me first and then abruptly stopped replying when i asked you out, what’s on ur mind

turns out i was buried under a pile of weirdos, but now i got the digits and a date :-D

tried to log in to this for the first time in three years and my profile was deleted

that's reasonable, but it's unlikely i'll ever have the energy to make a new one

Probably not worth said energy, tbh.

diminishing returns

We’ve introduced a dating forum at https://t.co/rVJHNl5voI, so singles who feel the same way about the virus can meet and not have to worry about differing attitudes to social distancing. https://t.co/haGHFYuzuy

Is there any reason currently to use this over the apps?

iirc there is no reason whatsoever to use a dating forum based around being a "lockdown sceptic"

or did you mean OKC? it has an app!

Is there any reason currently to use an app promoted by someone who calls himself toadmeister?

I meant OKC, and yeah I guess now that it has/is an app it seems to have sanded away all the weird bits that maybe made it unique and useful?

let alone one promoted by someone featured in a thread like this

Most Hilarious Way for Toby Young to Die Although God Forbid It Should Ever Happen

the gradual sanding-down of OKC was one of those long slow bummer demises of the Old Internet, or in this case the Internet of the Mid-00s. gradually the site became incredibly square in tone, policing out a lot of weirdies/kink profiles etc., the clampdown on usernames in favor of real names, and with the interface meanwhile becoming so simplified and tinder-like that having more than a few sentences in your profile came to look absurd. i'm sure they culled a lot of the questions and quizzes and stuff too. it basically just got a lot more generic, slowly.

Every 6 months they get rid of another feature people liked, people complain, life goes on. As with all sites, doing what your userbase wants or retracting a bad change is completely off the menu.
