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

you're right, more accurately, like throwing playing cards into a bottomless top hat

having to paint it as not _always_ true almost says more about the situation than how I put it!

they added a slot for "relationship type" under "my details" where you can specify "mostly/strictly monogamous/non-monogamous"

Finally. Now I can really winnow down the people I'm interested in but will ignore anyway.

I think I'm getting better at this.

also, hello 2014: "I am hooked on Game of Thrones. (Sentences about movies, music). I don't watch television."

I guess I will add "no STDs please, including viral marketing" to the looking for section of my profile.

*eyerolllllll*

maybe I'd try harder if i had a sponsor

saying you want someone to go see the new Wes Anderson movie with is an unexpectedly winning strategy!

unless they make you build a tent outside the theater tonight.

one interested party was disappointed it isn't screening here until the 14th, but we went and got milkshakes instead and ended up making out in the parking lot, so I'm keeping this strategy in the plus column.

i too deployed operation grand budapest and it netted one date this saturday

lol

caek! you're back. u and i have a date this sunday...with destiny

yes!

it is written in the stars

(speaking of which, caek's corner needs a bump - what's with these gravitational waves bending around quasars and black holes with sufficient warp to possibly allow glimpses into the earliest hours of the universe?)

Just had a lovely coffee date with scooter-riding goth lady (1000x cute) who wants to see Grand Budapest Hotel with me!

^^^this guy

Her name is Amélie!

OK, that isn't true.

:D

yeeeeah

what the fuck http://25.media.tumblr.com/52e6253e12b833653419a1881e2e0a8a/tumblr_n24thz2KIK1ttmx9fo1_500.png

YEah I haven't scrolled past that one either yet

christ. i was hoping that was from the onion article i hadn't yet clicked on, but

"probably wont rape you" WHAT THE SHIT.

i often feel a bit bad for judging the target of these humanitarians of x things since i've known some people who've done it who are nothing worse than ditzy somewhat politically disengaged sorts, but ya i'm happy to judge that guy.

uh I don't think these are necessarily bad people, but dang if these pictures aren't worth being a little o_O at

I think the main thing to remember here is that people choose what pictures from facebook to populate Tinder with, and these people chose... that.

there's nothing wrong with it, but that doesn't mean its really weird and sometimes lol

otm

*doesnt mean it isn't really weird and sometimes lol

Putting up that kind of photo does all sorts of signaling idk guys

it's def good to be self-aware when yr using human props in yr mating dance

I use my homely friends as props in images to show I am attractive

xxp i wont disagree w/ you there but i mean if you were in the peace corp or did grad school research or god forbid went somewhere with your church group in a 3rd world country then i would be surprised if that wasn't one of your most memorable experiences of the last few years and what are facebook photos if not that, imo they're more cool to look at than you in someone else's boring wedding (nb i just uploaded to facebook a photo of myself in someone else's wedding)

photos of yourself in a wedding is good, you're dressed really well and it shows you can be trusted to be in a wedding party

Hah yeah for sure but I mean

you were in the peace corp or did grad school research or god forbid went somewhere with your church group

That you would have had these opportunities in the first place also says a lot about your background imo

what are you getting at

i mean, what is a dating app for if not to find people who you are interested in, and a lot of people think that stuff is all interesting cool stuff

Hah I was just thinking about the economic aspect, like here's someone who had the opportunity in life to get on a plane to go to a country where (presumably) they don't have any prior connection to

I say that as someone who's been jetting back and forth with China since I was small, and I didn't grow up rich so take that as you will

it's fine, it's just saying that you did this thing that some people find objectionable, which yeah, one woman's interesting cool character builder is another man's objectionable third-world junket

i mean i rmde when an OKC profile has this shit or if its 10 pictures from 10 diff countries, all with captions making sure i know which country the photo was taken in, and sure maybe some of what turns me off is its a gross display of privilege but i don't think its wrong, and i hope that person finds another person to jet set with (nb i am taking a vacation just for fun to a foreign country i have no connection to next month)

what if the primary picture is of the person with a kid who looks related.. and it's on tinder, and it's not their kid?

ok i just looked at the tumblr again and feel sick for even semi-defending these monsters

you had good intentions
