OkCupid: A Guy's Perspective

[Dysfunctional Cunt]

Ugh.

The thought of re-entering the dating game just made my entire intestinal system do a barrel-roll.

Yeah, I've not been able to do that yet.  The thought makes me want to hurl.

The concept of "yeah, just go out, find somebody, use him shamelessly, and toss 'im when you're done" is okay on paper, I suppose...  In practice, however...  That's just not me.

I'm beginning to think you're not serious about having a good time.

I suppose that depends on your definition of a good time.

I get attached.

Setting myself up to get hurt again, NOT so much of a good time.

At this point I'd.....  Wait, I can't say that out loud. 

DAMMIT!!!

Lemme paraphrase.  "Spontaneous human combustion, I think we've solved the cause."

Okay, so get some chocolate and a magazine, and maybe take up mugging people as a hobby.

TGRR,
Full of valuable and useful advice.

Yeah, I'm just going to stop on the way home for the advised magazine and chocolate and add on batteries to the shopping list.    After that, I think I will mug a couple of people, I mean a girl needs foreplay right?

Mugging people...  Could be a new career, been considering a job change...  Chasing Richter and the other guys around with a sword is better exercise, though, and probably more fun.

Nope.  Trust me on this one.  NOTHING says "fun" like "SURPRISE CLAYMORE, LOL" on a random pedestrian.

Also more profitable.

The mine or the sword?

Either way, fun for all.

Done it.

Almost drove to Boston with Richter and his spear to chase the guy who stole LMNO's car, remember?

So what's the secret to getting hawt dates on OKCupid?

I reactivated my profile, but I still have yet to meet anybody from that site.

[LMNO]

Be ECH, apparently.

Abduct ECH, skin him and wear it as a coat.

But wouldn't just harvesting his pheromones be just as a effective?

What is wrong with you people?

And to the original question, no clue. I have so far only met one woman in meatspace, and she is a gaming buddy.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

What is wrong with you people?

They're all degenerates, Canis...Not normal, like you and I.

Now, I'll also note there have been notable changes in my world during that time period: I've gained a moderate amount of weight, which turned me from rail-thin skinny to mildly pudgy. I also have learned tons about myself, which has led to some factors which I'm sure are dealbreakers (or at least intimidating) to many. I now am certain I wish to remain childfree, I openly identify as bi and poly, and I live with my best friend, who is also an ex.

I think this combination narrows your options down to "Mango".

Yeah, I know. Well, at least compared to the average OkC user. Part of the reason I'm posting this is because I'm gauging whether or not OkC is even a useful tool for me anymore, given my 10,000 weird circumstances. I think I need to just start marketing my ass in places where qualifiers like mine are pre-selected for, on poly sites & conferences and places like that.

Futhermore, god forbid a decent, articulate human male actually is looking for a relatively casual sexual encounter. How is he supposed to go about it without looking like one of "those guys"?

Who do you think "those guys" are?  Human males looking for casual sexual encounters.

Enh, sorta. I was kinda unclear. I'm making a distinction between the guys ("hornballs") who have no sense of decorum and can't speak English (1st message = "u filthy slut i wanna fuck u rite now") and guys who, when cruising for sex, still act like socially-adjusted human beings. I'm arguing that looking for sex shouldn't be the thing that makes women instantly decide on radio silence. If it's clear you've got a human being on the line and not a Neanderthal, you can probably shoot him a thanks-but-no-thanks and still be fine. (Although based on people's responses I'm beginning to doubt that, too.)

Why?  Both types are viewing them as disposable objects, just one is more polite than the other.

Who the hell wants to be ordered up online like a book at Amazon?
