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

Maybe it's a Wayne's World reference?

"You sure you werent looking in a mirror?" is the only lamearse comment I'd be able to make to something like that, ha ha.

Have you reported it?

i thought about it? ultimately i just laughed about it, so whatever

i wonder if this kind of thing isn't her okcupid shtick (fwiw, this was lady-on-dude negging) - maybe i've encountered a little-known female member of the mini-papas

What a cow.

trayce otm. obv response is to post her profile itt.

Anyone else been rated 4-5 stars by someone, message that person, who proceeds to not reply back? I'm starting to wonder if the OKCbot is playing matchmaker or something.

Or else my "I lost my number, can I have yours" come ons need refreshing.

Please tell me you dont really use cheesy lines like that in first messages Lee ;P

Ands yeah ive been rated and/or favourited and never gotten messages from it, but eh *shrug*

I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND why when I get a mutual 4 or 5 star rating the person never replies back. TO THIS DAY, someone who's saved me as a favorite or rated me high has never replied.

oh so you can see when someone saves you as a favorite?

Oh . no you cant sorry, unless you pay I think. I guess I did just mean when you get star rated.

have u ever had vomitus interruptus

got a co-worker for a match the other day. hope I hid them before they saw me!

Ive stumbled across friends before which is always hilare. Theyre often really high matches too but that stands to reason!

... cheesy?

You dont think "I lost my number, can I have yours?" is cheesy?

Let me run that by my cousin, you know who.

:P

Could be due to the fact that one of the OKC "achievements" is to rate 10 people. Maybe some dummies just rate whoever.

Not gonna lie, the vomit line might work on me given the right context. It's hilariously over-the-top, way past the point of being rude. But as a first message to someone you don't know, with no indication of tone, on a site with countless jerks is probably the wrong place for it.

OK, OK Cupid. My profile says I'm looking specifically for single, straight guys. Why would you include in my quiver matches a bisexual "available" dude? Not helping!

suggestive sell

http://www.okstereotype.me/

the gender/age variations (here: http://www.okstereotype.me/stats/) are something to behold.

You are probably a Girl and we are 82% sure.

...

Suddenly I'm not sure about any of their stats.

They are 75% sure I'm a guy.

Ach profile has to be publically accessible for that to work. Nooo.

You can cut and paste your essay instead.

Well that was interesting. They were right about everything except my age: they aimed 8 years too low.

RealAge (tm)

Oh missed the paste bit. LOL wtf, I'm a 29 year old guy because I talk about music in my profile a lot!?

Key words to be male include "thinking" and "computers". Thanks, quiz. Its nice to know the fact I use my brain makes me male o_0

just a trayce, thinking bout computers

It took 15 years off my age, which was nice

lol

It took 15 years off for me as well. I guess that's ok, though I fear it means I'm silly.

I'm still off the OKC but I'm in the process of slowly getting to know an OKC-er (also no longer on the site) who I was talking to a year and a half ago before my life kind of blew up, at which point we mostly lost touch. But I'm glad we reconnected because she's great. I guess we'll see what happens and whether I have to begrudgingly give OKC some sorta props again (she was by far my highest local match when we were both on the site).

my new strategy of never going on the website until somebody messages has been going great. my inbox is empty and I haven't been on in a month

I guess that's ok, though I fear it means I'm silly.

I kinda got the same feeling but you know what, I DONT CARE NERRR.

Wau.

hey wanna catch a yoga class some time?

Suddenly creeping on me, I see. :-D

Though if you're serious, sure!

Funny, one of the key words in my profile is yoga, the other is ballet. /flips hair

almost went with "looking good in them yoga pants gurl" but creeped myself out :D

we totally should though.

the funny thing about the negging i posted earlier: the girl i dated all summer before i left dc came to nyc to visit that night for a work thing and stayed with me. (i referred to her multiple times upthread - met her on okc, things were initially bumpy but settled into a nice healthy relationship, and then i had to move semi-against my will right as we were getting serious)

it had been four months since i moved, and a couple months since we'd seen each other, and in that time she'd expressed interest in seeing other people, and had started to do so, and we kinda each pulled away a little. but we caught up on each other's lives and hooked up the first night she was here and it was like getting kicked in the face - to be reunited with the person i loved, to know i can't be with her long-distance, to know that she wasn't going to move to nyc and join me after all, but to experience all the old emotions and sensations. i tacitly knew that it was doomed when i left dc, of course, but god i regret leaving now - this is all gonna seem goopy and sentimental when i look back it in six months or whatever, but nobody's ever loved me like that. just getting to hold her one more time revived all the old emotions i thought i'd subsumed. blug

well maybe you should move back to dc

i mean i don't know what 'semi-against my will means' but priorities

xpost - my office in dc closed and they offered everyone relocation or severance. i took relocation w/her full support, and the understanding that she wanted to move to nyc way more than i did when we started dating

don't think moving back hasn't occurred to me though :/

Ew. Why did I get back on this? 33 messages of suck, one mediocre date. Best messages so far are one guy who informed me that he read through all 21 pages of my answers, one guy with no pic or profile info asking if I was "really looking for casual sex," and one guy who asked (this was before I had a chance to fill out my profile), "Is this just some kind of weird experiment to see how many messages you can get by being pretty?" Yeah, a hostility-laced compliment is always the best way to go.

Dude I hung out with last night was fun and pleasant enough, but pictures were seriously out of date & I am way too smart for him. Also briefly wound up at trustafarian kegger.
