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

i know dating's a tough problem to solve but it seems like okc does it so poorly

compared to

nothing.

i'm not shitting on the people using it.

if they had a version of the site for friendship there's a chance i'd be on it.

you have neat opinions for someone who doesn't use the site or date

with the exception of people who are consciously hostile, I think everyone is on reasonably equal footing in the world of dating

Frustrated, horny and fed up? yah.

Ugh on another note this 21 year old kid has been persistently messaging me for some days now, I chatted to him out of drunk bemusement on the weekend but he wont let up, he keeps asking me if we can text.

I'm awfully suspicious.

haha

I vote go for it

start a thread about sexting a teen

ew. he's 21 but no.

If he was ridic hot I'd be curious but hes just a sweet dorky kid. I think he's even lying about liking the bands I'm into to try and impress me, its kind of sad actually :/

here's to you, mrs. robinson

watch it you.

Well that escalated quickly - one night of me being out all night with band prac thus not looking at my internet - I get home to a barrage of OKC messages asking me pleeeease why wont I txt with him, can we meet... then he's all "I miss you why are you quiet" and "you there sweetie?" what in the shitbox.

I ended up having to be a bit blunt and rude and tell him to cut it out, and I didnt want to meet him, he's way too young and I'm not interested.

... he replies with "are you sure?"

FUCKING HELL, KID.

He liiiiiiiikes you.

Someone messages me asking if I was going to "go see Dawkins"

Yeeah, going to see some smug old white dude talk about smug atheism is not me

--a strange man (mh)

sounds like this was a pretty good filtering question to me

otoh pretty sure dawkins fans put out

if only someone would give them the chance

So they got rid of the quiver?

Or the algorithm finally gave up on me?

what the... it was there this morning! Hell?

I also dont trust the shitty thing to show me any decent matches anymore. I found a workaround. FInd someone you like,then look at "similar users".Youll find heaps of people the site didnt deem you worthy of seeing!

Anybody else get this email from OKC?

Oh and going way back to the no-drinking question, when I took a year off drinking, I was still actively using OKC and I was worried about answering Drinks w/ "Not at all" b/c I think it sounds like "recovering alcoholic." Which really shouldn't be a problem, right? But I was worried that would give people the wrong idea and scare them off.

Maybe it's just a one bad date w/ a recovering alcoholic/drug-user (coke/meth I think?) who was not quite "at peace" with substances. Pride had happened and I told him some fairly mild stuff about my friends' hijinx, including somebody bringing a bottle of Dom Perignon and a friend of a friend having sex with a stranger on my friend's bed. No crazy falling-down drunkenness or drugs, but my date got really tense and said that he left that scene behind and he didn't think he couldn't date somebody who was "in that world."

Date I had last night we were talking about all the questions and some of this stuff that come up here. His take was he'd totally have a problem with someone who didn't drink. Well at least he's honest!

...I forget what the reasoning was now. I think I was a bit drunk.

Date tonight. Think I'll mix it up with crazy platform heels + giant military parka, since the fun part of dates is deciding how to represent myself and in this case I've decided to go with schizo.

Good luck! I went on four dates and hit psychic exhaustion pretty fast, so I deactivated my account again.

i am desperate, but not rich enough

would watch a "making of" of that video, even if it was just shots of one dude sitting at a computer for hours pouring over hundreds of stock footage clips, narrowing them down to the dozen or so he finally used

Is there a general dating thread? Or would that thread just be trolled too much to actually exist?

i always assumed that thread existed at the other place

I don't get it. ILM?

77

Oh. I don't have access to that.

you want this: Request Access to 77 Borad

Thanks, markers

ha i didn't know that existed, bluff called

You thought it was made up??

it's not really a secret board if people keep bringing it up...

it's not meant to be secret really, just nicely not-public compared to the main boards is all

it's not really a secret

nah i didn't know the request thread existed

it is totally a secret

we don't talk about the real secret board

I've had two six-hour dates with the same person (granted, today's involved an amusement park and driving around, it wasn't all staring deeply into each other's eyes or anything--although his eyes are really blue, not that I noticed). There seems to be a lot of mind-melding and I feel like I'm being pretty real, guess I'll just try to keep that going.

Aw :)
