I like how he couldn't be bothered to rhyme the films.

Roxy, he sounds like a treasure. Why resist?

But his final words are these:

You should message me if:

You can appreciate this bizarre social experiment.

Plus he works on the computer field, and has kids. So it's prolly just a joke.

Ooh. That ruins it.

I thought he was really a terrible conservative white rapper!!

OKCupid.com, Pt.2- Afterparty! Hotel lobby! REMIX!

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Sunday, 25 July 2004 22:03 (nineteen years ago) link

A woman I was chatting to (and according to her getting on well) deleted her profile rather than continue.

The punchline, of course, was that her profile said she was looking for someone "who could be honest with (her)".

I'm embarassed! I actually mailed one of my matches because he banged on about Richard Feynman and drinking gin... AND HE HASN'T REPLIED, OH MY LIFE, I am that Interweb Nutter, dear lord, help!!

― Sarah (starry), Monday, 26 July 2004 09:01 (nineteen years ago) link

Welcome to my world, starry.

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 26 July 2004 09:03 (nineteen years ago) link

I mean!! I was bored! I wasn't like, hitting on him or anything!

Loads of you haven't even filled in any information, come on, that's the most interesting bit, not your moody rubbish photos, ch.

― Sarah (starry), Monday, 26 July 2004 09:06 (nineteen years ago) link

there needs to be more cutting involved in the profiles.

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 26 July 2004 09:07 (nineteen years ago) link

No no, I never hit on anyone, I just like to talk. I've made a couple of nice friends on there but mostly I find people don't bother to reply even to the most politely worded messages. Very strange.

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 26 July 2004 09:08 (nineteen years ago) link

did you put "a polite notice" as the subject line?

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 26 July 2004 09:10 (nineteen years ago) link

I tried something like that once. Now I usually just go for "a story about my brother peeing on me".

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 26 July 2004 09:12 (nineteen years ago) link

there needs to be more cutting involved in the profiles.

true - only about 70% of the profiles I look at involve self harm in the "most embarassing thing you'll admit" section.

― dog latin (dog latin), Monday, 26 July 2004 09:13 (nineteen years ago) link

and you wonder why they don't reply.

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 26 July 2004 09:13 (nineteen years ago) link

how many of those 70% mentions antidisestablishmentarianism?

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 26 July 2004 09:14 (nineteen years ago) link

yes

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 26 July 2004 09:15 (nineteen years ago) link

maybe they prefer bukkake stories to golden shower stories.

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 26 July 2004 09:16 (nineteen years ago) link

Perhaps, though I doubt it.
http://www.okcupid.com/profile?tuid=11308544320115783978 = my favourite person so far, though she's silly enough to think that Transformers could defeat Smurfs (she referred to them as "a bunch of blue red neck yuppies") and she called me an old fool.

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 26 July 2004 09:22 (nineteen years ago) link

Yay, Andrew F. has sent me a friend invitation! Maybe I should send some of them to you folks, so I won't feel like a loser in the nu-OKCupid.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 26 July 2004 12:31 (nineteen years ago) link

Ok, I send one to Starry Sarah, because her profile says she likes Tove Jansson.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 26 July 2004 12:33 (nineteen years ago) link

I've now befriended Ken C and Roxymuzak too, please be my friends...

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 26 July 2004 15:02 (nineteen years ago) link

Why do you like us?

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Monday, 26 July 2004 15:04 (nineteen years ago) link

I dunno, because I saw your names on Andrew's friends list, and because you're... nice?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 26 July 2004 15:08 (nineteen years ago) link

Aaron, you're supposed to woo a person.

I'm not really active on OKC, maybe someday if I get bored enuff.
Those are funny pictures you posted on yr profile though.

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Monday, 26 July 2004 20:08 (nineteen years ago) link

um so I've registered for this! without taking the test! gonna wait to get some photos where I'm not playing a synthesizer half-naked, covered in blood, or v.drunk wearing eyeshadow/sunglasses/&c.

― etc, Tuesday, 27 July 2004 01:32 (nineteen years ago) link

so how do you search for ppl w/in specific regions? my local matches screen is completely blank! how would I go about, say, viewing everyone in new zealand?

― etc, Tuesday, 27 July 2004 01:37 (nineteen years ago) link

ok, so it's started working. the NZ users for this thing SCARE THE FUCK OUT OF ME.

― etc, Tuesday, 27 July 2004 01:55 (nineteen years ago) link

This person got really pissy when I sent them a message saying "For a woman, you really do look like Franki Muniz":

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 12:10 (nineteen years ago) link

Frankie, even.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 12:10 (nineteen years ago) link

i took the initial test a while ago, and they've lost my registration details and stuff, so i'm starting over (i'm bored today. i have work to do, but clearly this is more important)

what do i do now? do you all tell me your names and stuff?

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 14:36 (nineteen years ago) link

No, next you agree to go on a date with the first person to woo you, and then tomorrow you have to choose someone to get married to.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 14:49 (nineteen years ago) link

that dude is how I imagine nickalicious.

WTF!?!...*harumph*

FWIW though I do have a freestyle as my 'about me' section on my myspace profile, although it's way less retarded than that dude's:

"i'm a shaved wookiee on fire. check my suave attire. you keepin' it real, i ain't real, i'm a cartoon like yer messiahr. blissed-out mystifier. electric like a live wire. one day your empire will fall to the billions of offspring i will sire."

hey, you left me out! I'm TheManthony

Oh, I'm no longer journalis. I'm now juror_8. Dunno why.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 20:31 (nineteen years ago) link

Also: out of the, what, 1,000,000 profiles on this thing, my 17th worst possible match on this thing is an ILXor.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 12:44 (nineteen years ago) link

There aren't a million profiles. That's just how many people have taken the test.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 15:33 (nineteen years ago) link

i done joined but haven't answered most the profile questions. I am rainermrilke. no emo dates yet :(

― bnw (bnw), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 15:35 (nineteen years ago) link

Are the questions on anyone else's profile changing? Just now, the question in my profile that, when I answered it, read "What 6 things couldn't you live without?" said "What do you think about when you masturbate?" And the trade brains question is now "I spend a lot of time thinking about..."

I'm confused.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 08:22 (nineteen years ago) link

Wow - I think it's just you Cathy. I put 'my family' as one of the things I couldn't live without, so I'm glad they haven't meddled with mine.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 08:30 (nineteen years ago) link

How very strange. I'd put food, music, books, the internet, pens and libraries. No wonder I never got any woos.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 08:45 (nineteen years ago) link

I think I would be attracted to a woman who masturbated about food.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 08:48 (nineteen years ago) link

They must have done it because the "Person you'd like to swap brains with" question is dumb. Now my answer looks REALLY dumb.
