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

My 1870s transatlantic heiress alter ego seems to have worked? Hm.

check for icebergs

lol noted.

tbf i thik i was free associating a bit but climatic caution = good idea

Icebergs are poor dining companions, and you can't take them to the beach in July.

u can take the iceberg to the beach but u can lettuce inn

I forgotall my advice for dayo and my head hurts

I got three matches on tinder today what do I do

Only promising correspondent in weeks is a too-old-for-me guy who lives out of state. He did give me a complimet that was also an echo & the bunnymen reference.

Didn't take the wise advice on here to dump the game-player when I shoulda. I finally went nuclear on him last week.

Ha! Further ok stupid adventures: I was thinking of meeting up with this guy who seemed pretty into me, but Iooked at his answers and he said that even "slight overweight" was a dealbreaker, with an added obnoxious comment that "keep in mind, overweight is over 25bmi."

I was like, "well, guess date's off, cuz my bmi is 31. Just fyi bmi is a general indicator of possible overweight & it's also nagl to couch your aesthetic preferences in psuedoscience" <-paraphrase. Hope dude sucks on that bitter pill for a minute. Dumbass.

ha! my biggest prob has been nobody in dating range + filtering out the occasional XKCD fan. think this stupid site is probably not much use to me :( sigggggggh

sometimes being a mod pays off:

From weatherdcowboy to flagger:

SO IT'S ALL THE BEST TO YOU JUDGE YOU WILL CERTAINLY NEED IT. SMOKIN SUGAR SHANE ALAN.MY PRO RIDING NAME.

whaaat?

Emily, are you not in the UK? Maybe I've got my lower case emilyss mixed up.

i think you do

Just realized that I answered "for someone in a committed relationship, is masturbation infidelity?" with "Yes." Oops, wtf.

emil.y != emilys.

Oops.
I was hoping I didn't so that I could imagine there existed a doggie-ridin', beef-slappin' British good ol' boy.

sorry emilys of ILX

haha re infidelity. everyone looking at your profile, slaaaaaags the lot of them.

i still haven't gotten around to having an actual profile but oh good my #1 match in ALL OF LONDON is my ex-girlfriend, c'mon now okcupid leave it out m8.

I STIIILLLLL haven't filled out the essays! But I've answered a lot of questions with explanations, which I like in others' profiles as much as essays. And I've gotten a few 5-stars and responses, so whatever. I need to improve my attitude re dating.

Gr80, how tall are you?

A cutie who was 5'4" showed up as a match, and I swooned off my chair, but he's not the midget for me, sadly.

why?

Why wasn't he for me? B/c he seemed immature and otherwise not compatible.
Or if you're asking why I asked your height, it's b/c you mentioned women having height requirements.

oh i forgot i said that, haw

i am 5'9" which iirc is basically the worldwide average height for all human men in 21st century planet earth

taller than you

are there women who would think 5'9" is too short? seems insane.

have def passed through some '6'0+ only please :)' profiles

:)

i must be one of the only people here who just basically doesn't do the dating thing

i don't think i'll ever do online dating. it seems brutal.

lol i meant dating in general, but

dating in general is brutal too tbh

dayo otm

people who don't meet that metric deserve to die alone

to quote papa roach, "life's not fair"

it's times like these that i feel grateful that i'm 9 feet tall.

Somebody upthread said something about listing preferences (as opposed to requirements), but I had some problems with that years ago when I listed a preference - clearly set forth as a preference - for short fellas, and a couple average-height guys contacted me saying, hey, sorry I'm not short, but....

(NB: Now it seems dumb to state preferences for physical characteristics, but that's where I was on my journey of h<3art at the time.)

Small for tree or ship either tbf

it's times like these you learn to love again

I wouldn't date her even if I was 6'3". So shallow and irrelevant.

i mean, i get that people have "types" they are attracted to and that's their prerogative, but i agree, my "type" would be someone more open-minded than that. also i couldn't date them anyway because i am not over 6ft, i lied earlier.

I have never dated my type, such as it is, and only hooked up with my type maybe twice. Calls into question what "type" means.

two of my three best relationships ever were with women who were not at all my type, and that's part of why i found them so fascinating. I found myself suddenly caring about all sorts of things i never dreamed i'd ever give a crap about.

i must be one of the only people here who just basically doesn't do the dating thing

weird how all these ppl on a dating thread are talking about dating, yeah

i need to remove myself from okc. i keep starting these promising conversations with attractive people, and then realizing that i don't actually have enough time or interest to be trying to 'date' somebody from scratch right now. and i wind up just not-responding when it gets to the 'so where do you want to meet up?' portion. so much easier/more dangerous to date in my social circles, and super unhelpful to see people from social circle *on okc* with high match points.

am gon' quit next week, i think.

vaya con dios, steendriver

have def passed through some '6'0+ only please :)' profiles

this is probably the main reason i ever got messages tbh (before i turned it off)
