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?!

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!

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!?

not a fan of the rushed Caesar?

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

― mind totally brown (darraghmac),

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.

Viceroy, Monday, 9 December 2013 23:17 (ten years ago) link

Most recent message. "you are a writer. <:) "

Clever lad! Have a biscuit!

(45% match, 50% enemy. NEXT!)

the Bronski Review (Trayce), Monday, 9 December 2013 23:26 (ten years ago) link

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.

trufax

veneer timber (imago), Tuesday, 10 December 2013 00:50 (ten years ago) link

not really ok with your ability to do that

i am curious #yolo (wins), Tuesday, 10 December 2013 00:50 (ten years ago) link

kinda asking for it tbh

veneer timber (imago), Tuesday, 10 December 2013 00:51 (ten years ago) link

the internet is infernal

veneer timber (imago), Tuesday, 10 December 2013 00:52 (ten years ago) link

look ilx if anyone wants to come over just ask, this computer: enhance stuff idk

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 am curious #yolo (wins), Tuesday, 10 December 2013 00:54 (ten years ago) link

i am curious #yolo (wins), Tuesday, 10 December 2013 00:55 (ten years ago) link

:'D

veneer timber (imago), Tuesday, 10 December 2013 00:55 (ten years ago) link

so yours isn't public anymore?

sarahell, Tuesday, 10 December 2013 00:56 (ten years ago) link

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
