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

"i'm kind of a nomad" = has at least read some deleuze

Nhex strangely otm about improv vs standup.

caek, GOOD improv is the foundation of nearly all the best comedy in North America in the last 50+ years. Standup is largely a source of bad sitcoms.

All this talk of yoga and yurts has given me yogurt cravings

There's a terrible crossover marketing opportunity in there somewhere.

improv in a yurt

improvurting

I can't

wouldn't mind seeing people provide keywords from my profile that instantly turned them off, although I'm not sure how you'd gather that data.

its and immediate turn-off for me when anyone who self-identifies as a "photographer" only has photos that are bad/cellphone selfies etc

right, but north america could make good comedy without a mandatory improv-based apprenticeship.

and false dichotomy: i obviously hide and block standups too.

xp "frequently annoying"
"community-building"
"cigarettes"
"potato chips"
"patriarchy"

Although the hottest guy I've yet been on a date with said he wrote me BECAUSE of the feminist content, so that's nice.

"i'm not like other girls"

Oh I just remembered, I got this gem of a message the other day, unbidden:

"i am guessing you grew up in the states, you are interesting but that might be the deal breaker"

lol oh man that's the kind of thing my ex would say, long diatribes about how terrible American dating culture and American women are.

there's a fix for that

while we're airing grievances:

SARCASM IS NOT A VIRTUE NOR IS IT A WAY OF LIFE ITS JUST A LINGUISTIC CONDITION STFU

long diatribes about how terrible American dating culture and American women are.

American dating culture is pretty terrible, though, isn't it? I mean, this thread.

idk any other culture's dating culture to compare. i'd imagine they're all kind of shitty?

You've got a point there.

if you hate dating American women, then... maybe you just hate women and American women don't like that

You can't just hate the process of dating, obviously.

maybe you just hate women and American women don't like that

on the nose

can't we just let these poor misogynists misoge

patenting misogecoin now

it's not just that there are misogynists on okc... actually the medium is the misoge

Nice

Always makes me sad to think about how I might have blocked/hid a potential soulmate on OKC because she had put "Little Miss Sunshine" in her favorite movies

that's a great movie

*blocks*

I briefly dated someone who had a Harry Potter poster and liked TGI Fridays

Were you both 15?

I'm not on OKCupid, and the movie's not out here yet, but I used a phone app to suggest to a girl that we see Grand Budapest Hotel in May, and she said yes

braggin 2014

I kind of refuse to date someone who refuses to ride a bike

can't believe you'd diss ned/morbs like that

the question is, do you have the guts to actually put that in your profile? NO BIKES, NO LIKES

I did for a while but I like to change it up--it used to say, "You should like to ride bikes, do things, and eat foods" but then I realized I was obliquely referencing my exes of that year and it felt too reactionary.

hmmmmm.

Your exes didn't like to eat foods?

One of them literally had nothing in his fridge except bean sprouts and two avocados and like three eggs--ever.

He also complained about being fat a lot. Body dysmorphic disorder is a thing, y'all.

bean sprouts and two avocados and like three eggs

lol i read this and was like "damn that sounds like a great meal"

it doesn't sound unreasonable if you get a little more specific like "go out to dinner occasionally" and "leave the house", "do things" and "eat food" sounds kinda funny

I have dated some...different people. That I probably should not have.

Ugh one morning that guy served me a mango for breakfast. Y'all might be into that but they make my mouth numb and I am HANGRY in the morning.

lol

thats real

I kind of refuse to date someone who refuses to ride a bike

can't believe you'd diss ned/morbs like that

c'mon mook, she doesn't like movies unless they have magic in them, either! :)

a mango is not a breakfast

I only really ever make breakfast on special occasions and there's no way I'd be comfortable doing so for a guest if I hadn't pre-planned. I think I'd probably offer to go out to eat or possibly you'd get a granola bar or yogurt if you're lucky.

I messaged someone who okcupid sent me a link to because I thought I saw her at a concert last week. So, uh, I asked if she had been to any concerts lately. She confirmed she was at that show and said something about how she's going to bonnaroo this year and I haven't messaged back yet. Is messaging "oh that's nice" after four days bad?
