Ok, my profile no longer gets any responses nor does anyone even respond to my messages. I think it's time for a re-write. Anyone got any ideas?

Do you not like your profile, or is it just the not getting responses thing?

Can you do other things to change your metrics on the site - such as go back through your question answers (especially if they are ones you answered some time ago) or retake tests or such? Or upload a new profile photo? You can do lots of things to keep your profile fresh and change the people you see/see you without rewriting the whole thing.

Unless, of course you want to rewrite the whole thing?

It's been about a year of the same ol' profile.. might be time for something new.

Do I need an account to look at OKC profiles?

I like your profile a lot, M@ndee. I'm CCrisphead in case you were wondering who the dink with the blank profile from Vancouver was.

Bryan, Tuesday, 31 July 2012 17:44 (eleven years ago) link

You don't think it could stand revising? I seriously never get a single message except from guys from out of state and no one ever responds to my messages, either.

Maybe I'll just change a couple words so mine gets bumped to the top :)

homosexual II, Tuesday, 31 July 2012 19:34 (eleven years ago) link

It may be LONG WINDED, yeah?

homosexual II, Tuesday, 31 July 2012 19:34 (eleven years ago) link

Revise as you see fit! There's no perfect profile, sometimes I change mine just because I'm not feeling an answer that week or month. Plus also yeah, getting bumped to the "Activity" page.

I think I fiddle with mine a bit every time I visit the site. And yours is great, homoII... I wish people would write more comments on the questions they answer. You do! I usually skip straight to "the two of us" and click on "with explanations" to start with.

the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Tuesday, 31 July 2012 21:29 (eleven years ago) link

Ugh, some of these questions I just cringe at the answers!

Just looked at a guy's profile and I winced at:

- "Is art important to you?" No
- "Is abortion an option in accidental pregnancy?" No
- "Should men wear makeup?" No
- "Is fashion important?" Yes, just don't show up looking like you stepped out of an 80's music video (THAT ELIMINATES HALF MY WARDROBE, PAL!)
- "Do you think women have an obligation to keep their legs shaved?" Yes

I also came across a guy who indicated that he actually wanted a super innocent virgin. And he was in his mid 30's. :/

homosexual II, Tuesday, 31 July 2012 22:02 (eleven years ago) link

i had an okc offer today from someone wanting to be my part-time houseboy! plus a message from a hot topic emo who lives in the suburbs of connecticut. and one promising message from someone who has his max age set to 28 :(

Yes, just don't show up looking like you stepped out of an 80's music video

would swoon at lady who showed up for first meeting looking like she stepped out of an 80s music video

the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Tuesday, 31 July 2012 22:19 (eleven years ago) link

fhazel whats your username on okc? Trying to figure which is you among my recent visitors...

homosexual II, Tuesday, 31 July 2012 22:20 (eleven years ago) link

oh, I'm invisible... hang on, I'll leave a footprint

the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Tuesday, 31 July 2012 22:20 (eleven years ago) link

I SEE!

Your profile is great, too!!!

homosexual II, Tuesday, 31 July 2012 22:24 (eleven years ago) link

haha someone is trying to psych me on okc tonight but i am a mood

mookieproof, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 03:57 (eleven years ago) link

What if it was the video to Self Control by Laura Branigan?

homosexual II, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 04:24 (eleven years ago) link

uh best possible option? I've wanted to make a ridic lavender scarf and get boots like that for a long time.

Crabbits, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 04:25 (eleven years ago) link

Yes!!!!

homosexual II, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 05:00 (eleven years ago) link

What if the 80s video was You Trip Me Uo by the JAMC? I have certainly gone on dates dressed like that. And would instantly love anyone who did the same!

I want to smother him in electronic butter. (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Wednesday, 1 August 2012 05:43 (eleven years ago) link

I fear I went on my last date dressed like 80s Bono. I blame Laurel for that tho.

What 80s video characters would You date would be a great thread idea.

I would love to date someone who dressed like they were in the JAMC! YEAH!

homosexual II, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 05:46 (eleven years ago) link

I'll get that sex change tomorrow, shall I? ;)

THIS IS NOT A REBEL DATE

mookieproof, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 05:50 (eleven years ago) link

LOL

80s Bono was kinda cute...

::shoots self::

OK, going to wear my JMAC Automatic tour t-shirt on my next OKC date.

the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Wednesday, 1 August 2012 05:58 (eleven years ago) link

excuse my drunkenness, JAMC.

the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Wednesday, 1 August 2012 05:58 (eleven years ago) link

once I was at the post office wearing it, and the guy behind me was like "jesus and mary chain? is that a band like DC Talk*?" and I said "yeah, they're just like that."

*a shitty US Christian rock band with wide appeal

the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Wednesday, 1 August 2012 06:00 (eleven years ago) link

sellout

mookieproof, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 06:01 (eleven years ago) link

/me digs out april skies shirt

not sure where my automatic shirt is. probably being used as a duster...

koogs, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 06:03 (eleven years ago) link

No no no you want skin-tight black jeans (or leather trousers), black button-down shirt done up all the way, black leather jacket and Chelsea boots. Ray-bans optional. (if it is summer a stripey t-shirt may be exchanged for button down shirt, but it is never summer in Scotland.)

If you dress like this, every 80s girl will want you.

shit, half the dudes in austin rock black skinny jeans and a button-down shirt... they don't got what she gives me, and it's not OK.

the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Wednesday, 1 August 2012 06:05 (eleven years ago) link

Is Austin full of shoegazers?

Man it is a shame about the weather.

Oh yeah and the being in Texas thing.

I want to smother him in electronic butter. (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Wednesday, 1 August 2012 06:07 (eleven years ago) link

Bootgazers exist, and it is a thing. And, of course... if London was as good as they said it was... it would be in Texas :)

the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Wednesday, 1 August 2012 06:10 (eleven years ago) link

If Texas was as good as they said it was... you'd have an NHS ;-)

Ha nice comeback ;D

Pureed Moods (Trayce), Wednesday, 1 August 2012 08:17 (eleven years ago) link

Is this where I say I've seen DC Talk in concert? They were more of a rap group at the time iirc.

I'm glad I wrote that msg I didn't feel like writing bc dude seems interesting and we're going to meet when I get back from vacation. He gives good email. I've been dating musicians and malcontents for so long I forgot that some people can actually write.

check the name, no caps, boom, i'm (Laurel), Wednesday, 1 August 2012 11:41 (eleven years ago) link

Also just sayin', I would have commented on hazel's profile if I had been able to tell he was there/who he was.

check the name, no caps, boom, i'm (Laurel), Wednesday, 1 August 2012 13:53 (eleven years ago) link

It's probably physically impossible for Texas to be as good as Texans say it is. And Laurel, I'll visit your profile... no making fun of my beard though.

the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Wednesday, 1 August 2012 14:36 (eleven years ago) link

I'll try to keep it to myself.

check the name, no caps, boom, i'm (Laurel), Wednesday, 1 August 2012 14:59 (eleven years ago) link

HAZEL your answers to the questions are HYSTERICAL. "I hope we've fully explored my unconditional acceptance of gay people. I hope the next question is about flirting or smoking or something." And of course the next question is about race.

Why has no one else I've ever looked at answered the question about visiting libraries? I'd completely forgotten it, I probably answered that thing 4 years ago and haven't seen it since. Damn, son.

check the name, no caps, boom, i'm (Laurel), Wednesday, 1 August 2012 17:03 (eleven years ago) link

I just another msg from someone who can't punctuate or capitalize and who says things like "regardless" and "needless to say" unnecessarily. You know what? NO.

check the name, no caps, boom, i'm (Laurel), Wednesday, 1 August 2012 17:11 (eleven years ago) link

I would date all the boys in the JAMC t-shirts.

Virginia Plain, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 17:17 (eleven years ago) link

I'm feeling very LONELY today. And wishing I had someone to go on an OkCupid date with.

homosexual II, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 17:22 (eleven years ago) link

just wear one of those 80s video outfits and go out by yourself imo ;)

daavid, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 17:55 (eleven years ago) link

"Irregardless, you should meet me for cocktails on Friday"

the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Wednesday, 1 August 2012 19:10 (eleven years ago) link

Glad you enjoyed my snappy answers to stupid OKC questions, Laurel. Again, very sad more people don't comment on them more... the vast majority of them almost require it.

And I second daavid's advice.
