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

idgi how does okcupid know anything about my personally

spoiler: Easter Island heads are actually entire bodies, as a couple have now been excavated

More hair length and approval/disapproval of facial hair, but yeah.

I thought I was being unfairly narrow-minded about beards

oh, you were

oh, they knew they had bodies... there's hundreds of them all over the island with above-ground bodies. the ones in rano raraku they're excavating lately had the body part buried under earth, so the fine carving details were preserved. the ones exposed to sea air are pretty eroded.

I think it's a public misconception due to portrayals that they're just heads?

i can't believe you've been to easter island! i mean i believe you, but so jeal!

if you just see the pictures of the ones at rano raraku (the part of the island where they actually carved the things) then they are just heads, because over time the bodies have been covered by earth. this area is more heavily photographed, because frankly, it looks totally bizarre and magical. all over the rest of the island there are rows of full-body moai on stone platforms called ahu, mostly by the coast. by the time the europeans arrived, the moai were mostly all knocked down, however. it's only since the 50s (IIRC) that various folks have reconstructed the ahu platforms.

easter island is a really fucked up story

i get chills thinking about it

what is easter island

I can't believe you got a date from okc without going there and getting your picture taken.

Does OKC still divide ugly people from attractive people? Because I still think I got thrown into the ugly pool.

how does that work?

Just got another message, this time from a guy in California.

I just REPEL Denver dudes apparently!

(Sorry I keep BANGING ON about this, it's just kinda nuts to me at this point)

I think I didn't participate enough in the site and got thrown to the ugly pool, too. idk

this is all theoretical due to the fact I mothballed it all but I just love this thread so much

I am now considering changing my location to Hanga Roa, Easter Island to see if I can find a match there (you'd like it, La Lechera... you can practice your Spanish there!).

que lindo!

laurel we're an 81% match!!

I don't even look at people that are less than 80% tbh. I figure somewhere along the line they answered that men should be the heads of their households, or that creatonism should be taught in schools, or something.

or they don't fill out the questions ^_^

JUST KIDDING! Some people's answers are a mystery to me, though.

xp haha like that

I like expanding the search worldwide and finding my 99% match who lives in Glasgow and imagine how perfect everything would be. well, except for the 1% of the time we would fight because I couldn't understand what she was saying.

yeah i met a nice girl from glasgow one time and the only thing i could make out was that she thought a lot of stuff fookin' pants

*swoon*

"s' fookin pants man"

first thing i remember whenever i think of her

hahahaha

95% match

Just for shits and gigs I am looking at dudes in Chicago and they are 200% better seeming than the dudes here. There's barely any photos of dudes atop mountains citing their love of the outdoors. <3 <3

i almost never get messages on this anymore, or message anyone. the last person i messaged had a wilhelm reich book in his favorites section and i wrote him about my trip to orgonon and was really surprised he didn't reply!

like...i've sat in an orgone accumulator. i bet he didn't even consider what that implies about my orgiastic potency!

did you okcupid william s burroughs?

i posted a picture of myself at big sur, should i take it down :(

seems like if you live in ca but don't post a pic of yourself in nature yr doing it wrong

my pics are a couple years old now and suck -- i'm rarely in photo-taking situations anymore, it seems

will somebody look @ my profile and give me helpful feedback on getting date for friday w/ hot yoga girl and/or hot barista

i have a feeling this is might be like applying for work on craigslist tho, these girls are probably getting bombarded 82% match or no

i'll look at it if you like, webmail me.

(and yes, hot girls probably getting bombarded)

i'll just throw it out to the teeming hordes

9044za

^ that's backwards

something tells me it is not a coincidence i am distracting myself from resumes and cover letters with this "service"

And she's backed out, serves me right for talking about a date in advance.

xp we are only 84% matches

is the earth *really* bigger than the sun?

pretty good profile, but I don't get a sense of "voice" about you. Is that a lame criticism??! I guess I really look for that. But maybe it's just me.

not just you, i look for that too.

only 84% ? but that's as high w/ people in my area so far (excepting my ex's current boss)

that is my voice, i'm quiet and polite :-D

xp it looks bigger from where i'm sitting

can anybody recommend the relevant anne lamotte article about writing voice

I think all the percents are kind of a red herring? IDK I skipped half the questions, which seems to be about the percentage they asked about w33d

So far my favorite experience through this site was meeting a Russian woman with an absolutely acid sense of humor who informed me after 5 minutes that this wasn't a date and that she was just bored.

We talked about Tarkovsky for 40 minutes and she left.

Also skipped all the stupid MENSA type questions, and the politics ones, I think I'm deliberately doing this whole site wrongs.

that sounds like a well spent 45 minutes imo

the questions mainly seem to be about sifting people who like work vs people who like college and hipsters vs squares
