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

also try to use the times stylebook for phrasing

chicks dig the times

chicks dig the whoppers jr.

People approaching OKC in that spirit probably goes a long way toward explaining why so many profiles come off so blandly.

pasting this to ilx out of context w/zero regard for your privacy
xp

xp No, I think those people are just boring.

"first they came for the..." arguments are soooooooo tiresome in 2012 btw

first they came for the nice guys who wear fedoras on OKC :|

It's about time someone did something about those. I was thinking of putting out traps.

"Try not to be laughable on the internet" is like some kind of 21st C. paranoid Zen koan.

Sorry I just have a sore spot about people reposting internet stuff (esp private convos etc) for laughs because it has been done to me before.

I do agree w/ u guys that the blog probably could have sufficed with just screen captures of the written parts themselves, including pixx is maybe a bit much

but the pix do reveal that all these 'nice guys' seem to be 'of a type' ; \

xxxp It's not like living in fear is the only option we have here, dude. You could also just not be an asshole, that option is always open.

You have nothing to be sorry about, Trayce. I'm sure it sucks hard.

i have some qualms about this a la Old Lunch but i think in orbit is otm that this is not really akin to a mythical "ugly chicks of okc." what makes these people stick out is not (just) nerdiness or a strong whiff of the pathetic but barely-masked vicious anger

Yeah dont get me wrong. calling peopl eout for shit like "youre all bitches oh but BTW shave yr damn legs WHY WONT ANYONE DATE ME" is incredibly laughable, but yeah. the pics? I dunno.

xxxpost

Just sayin'...is there anyone who wouldn't likely come off as laughable and worthy of public mockery to some dickhole on the internet?

Cruelty is fine as long as the person is wearing a fedora, I guess.

therefore we should just burn down the internet

first they came for the fedora lovers, but I said nothing because my hair looks weird in hats.

xxxp I don't think that is as big a problem/tragedy as you seem to think it is.

imagine escaping the friendzone only to wind up in the douchezone instead.

great lede

deric/trayce you realize all anyone needs to see your super-secret OKC profile is an email address, right?

its not even close to the same thing as a facebook page or 77

Yeah, I'm aware that privacy anywhere on the internet is super illusory. It's just that you come to trust so much in the general tendency of most civilized strangers to not randomly stab you in the neck that it's easy to forget that the internet is the wild west.

you come to trust so much in the general tendency of most civilized strangers to not randomly stab you in the neck

well here's your first mistake

TBF, it's only happened to me four or five times in my life.

you come to trust so much in the general tendency of most civilized strangers to not randomly stab you in the neck

most don't.

we need to doxx m@x read in response

go out with a bang!

we're screwed. you should be too!

I'll fuckin... I'll fuckin... sew your asshole closed and keep feedin you and keep feedin you

Oh I'm under no misapprehension the page is actually *private*. I dunno I just think its rude. Its my thing.

pretty much pro public shaming in any context

like bring back being pelted with rotten fruit while in the stocks in my opinion

Feel like the slippery slope is a concept that is rapidly fading from collective human consciousness these days. Good thing the world is over tomorrow.

nooo they be takin my slippery slopes

if you've ever done anything on the internet you probably deserve to be shamed

proving my point

i'm gonna die and that .jpg is still gonna be on the internet

pretty sure i've posted about this before, but true story:

in 2006 my work computer crashed and it had to get sent from hawaii to chicago for our corporate IT people to fix/re-image. when the new computer got shipped back, i was really sad to see that the 5 or 10 gigs of MP3s i'd had on it were not there, and yet all of my internet explorer bookmarks were preserved, including that image (which i had no memory of ever seeing, let alone bookmarking).

there is a series of m3g4cyc1es posts originally from someone called d3r3k or d3nn1s or something which display this sort of commingled sadsack ingratiaion / visceral hatred much more acutely and hilariously, but then within his admittedly minor field of voyeur-tumblr curatorship bh is the emperor of all he surveys

Far more insidious than these dudes who kinda nakedly wear their misogyny on their sleeves are the dudes who display textbook PUA tendencies and which I'm given to understand are plentiful on OKC. I feel like there needs to be an anti-PUA pamphlet to pass out to all single women who aren't hip to their tactics.

I am completely open to people being very well-educated about PUA signifiers, but I feel that this would do little beyond educating a small naive audience that is also likely to have other illusions about human relationships. I think the behaviors encapsulated therein are encouraged, if not nurtured, by people who need or are interested in obvious signifiers and customs in their dating. I probably have my own detestable things I look for and cultivate in myself, but they're just not seen as bad in my crowd.

There are probably people who look at their pictures and comments that have been posted to that site, or women who read them, and wonder what the big deal is. For all we know, some women have sought out the fedora-wearers after seeing them on there. Or men are making such profiles knowing the site exists -- it's still publicity.

never done this type of thing but can i just ask if it's standard ton put up a fried egg preference or what?

Yeah, I understand "cooked by you and brought to me on a platter" is a popular choice with some dudes.

hardly gets to the heart of the matter tho
