Does anyone still go here or is this like dating friendster now? I've never gotten a message back from anyone except a guy in the UK so... that's a little too long distance for me.Or maybe... maybe I'M the creeper?!― Viceroy
I have my first OKC date tonight. She is the 2nd woman I've asked out on the site, first one I got no answer.
― Iago Galdston, Friday, 6 December 2013 19:30 (ten years ago) link
Heh, it looks like it didn't take long for OKC to turn back on their picture-only browsing format.

I live in the outskirts of the Boise "metropolitan" area in Idaho. Not a very large pool I guess, but large enough to have 4 or 5 people I'm interested in who OKC says are good matches...
― Viceroy, Friday, 6 December 2013 21:55 (ten years ago) link
I get about 1 response for every 7-10 messages I send, so I dunno, it could just be that you have to message more people. It's also worth looking at people's last login time if you're not already, because sometimes they'll show me someone cool, I'll msg them, and then I realize they haven't logged into the site in six months. I never hear back from those people.
― Vinnie, Friday, 6 December 2013 22:42 (ten years ago) link
oh I see. Thanks for that, I guess I just didn't realize the response to message ratio.
― Viceroy, Friday, 6 December 2013 22:45 (ten years ago) link
OK, my first OKC date had no sparks but I've now changed my height from the mendacious 5'9" to an honest 5'8" from here on. Here's an article that appeared today which is the sad thinking that caused me to fib in the first place!http://nypost.com/2013/12/08/short-men-dont-stack-up-with-nyc-women/
― Iago Galdston, Sunday, 8 December 2013 15:04 (ten years ago) link
Manhattan women are prob just pickier in general & you should be looking at like the ratio of the rate of contacts to short dudes to the rate of contacts to all dudes, also what kind of guy sits around waiting for girls to contact him, also what the fuck is going on with dude's hair in the stock photo accompanying that story!?

Thanks, Dan. It is a very NYC specific thing I think. Anyway my profile now reflects my real height for better or worse. And yes, what a stupid article that is!
― Iago Galdston, Monday, 9 December 2013 19:38 (ten years ago) link
Have you considered that your scale might have been off and you're actually 5'9
And that you're actually lying by therefore saying you're 5'8
― 乒乓, Monday, 9 December 2013 19:39 (ten years ago) link
Id trade back to 5 8 to get any kind of hair at all tbh

Yes, I am thankful I have my hair still, definitely, although the female pop of NYC seems to love bald (if it goes with tall and wiry build, obv)
― Iago Galdston, Monday, 9 December 2013 19:48 (ten years ago) link
obv ;_;
― mind totally brown (darraghmac), Monday, 9 December 2013 19:55 (ten years ago) link
I love bald, and shortish, too. As long as you're sexy, it doesn't matter.
― homosexual II, Monday, 9 December 2013 22:09 (ten years ago) link
PS sexiness has little to do with looks for me, it's a whole 'vibe'
― homosexual II, Monday, 9 December 2013 22:10 (ten years ago) link
def. agree with that sentiment.

Clever lad! Have a biscuit!

sexiness is also totally hard to gauge on an online dating profile :/
― homosexual II, Tuesday, 10 December 2013 00:18 (ten years ago) link
haha I just logged in for the 1st time in months, purely to snoop on imago's profile (82% Match 86% Friend 0% Enemy btw) and found a month-old message from someone I'd totally have been up for meeting, telling me how excellent my hair is (which yeah tbf). I sent a reply but this exact-opposite-of-real-time conversation is such a weird way to try & engender a relationship imo.

― i am curious #yolo (wins), Tuesday, 10 December 2013 00:52 (ten years ago) link
are all profiles public -- like, so that people not on OKC can view them?
― sarahell, Tuesday, 10 December 2013 00:53 (ten years ago) link
only if the schmuck owner has forgotten to set it to private
― veneer timber (imago), Tuesday, 10 December 2013 00:54 (ten years ago) link
oh jesus

i work with kids, sarahell
o btw what do my similar users have written underneath? all of urs have 'more adventurous' probably coz u've answered 25 match questions only
― veneer timber (imago), Tuesday, 10 December 2013 00:56 (ten years ago) link
well, neither mordy or I are on OK Cupid and got some serious small o _ capital O's out of yours
― sarahell, Tuesday, 10 December 2013 00:58 (ten years ago) link
oh it's way, way more o_O now, you'll have to join. mordy i fear will be forever denied though
― veneer timber (imago), Tuesday, 10 December 2013 01:00 (ten years ago) link
yeah, it would probably be weird for him to tell his wife, "Honest, honey, the only reason I've signed up for this online dating site is because of this british guy on a message board who has this totally wtf profile my message board friends like to snicker at."
― sarahell, Tuesday, 10 December 2013 01:02 (ten years ago) link
lol
xp I answered those 25 qs really earnestly, too! Then I realised I was being trolled.
― i am curious #yolo (wins), Tuesday, 10 December 2013 01:03 (ten years ago) link
also I lied about a couple
― i am curious #yolo (wins), Tuesday, 10 December 2013 01:04 (ten years ago) link
i've probably skipped 4 questions for every 1 answered, so many of them are such false binary/ternary/quaternary bs and so many of them just plain fucking awful or irrelevant
