OkCupid: A Guy's Perspective

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Okay, I'll bite. If you're such a studly bi dude into gender equality, why the hell wasn't your op addressing men as well? Why just women?

Because the dynamic I mentioned in the O.P. is all but nonexistent in male-male online dating.

I'm sick of playing whack-a-mole and addressing the thousand concerns and misrepresentations that have emerged in this thread. So I'm throwing the towel in on this one. Thanks for the help everyone. Goodnight.

There is one thing I think you don't know about OKC.

Well, he probably won't be coming back, but I want to know.

Dammit, Fracture, our abrasive awfulness has chased off another quality contributor.

Well, on the off chance he comes back to check on his thread, someone ought to tell him about the "club rope" rule that OKC has had for 6 months or so now.  The hot people get moved by the moderators into a separate area, where they can socialize without the ugly people/geeks interfering.  It's not talked about much, but it certainly explains why OKC is doing better than ever financially, while at the same time seeming to be a wasteland.

Well, that may explain my popularity there. I'm the best-looking guy who didn't make the cut.

OK, so I posted this on my OKC profile a couple days ago:

PORTLAND LADIES: Do NOT message me if you're just another typical Portland douchenozzle. No, I really don't care about vegan activism, social justice for Tibet, $2 PBRs at happy hour or any of that crap. I think people who ride tall bikes should all die of neck cancer, as should people who ride regular bikes but choose to do so on 39th or Hawthorne when this whole city is crossed with dedicated bike routes that avoid major arterial streets. Stoned hippies who drive 10mph under the speed limit (read: everyone in PDX) fill me with an unreasonable rage. Last but not least, your "vintage" engineer cap doesn't make you look steampunk, but why would you want it to? Let's face it, steampunk is just "goth for grownups".

and I've been getting so many hits since that if I wait a few minutes and refresh my home page, the list of recent visitors to my profile has turned over entirely.

I think I've gone viral.

Uh, I may have been put in that.  I remember getting some kind of email about my looks rating being in x percentile and popularity and being matched with similarly attractive people or something.  I wasn't paying much attention, and probably deleted it.

Makes no difference though.  Everyone I'm matched with is still uninteresting and an English major/Labour Party activist.  Or they're actually in Paris or something.

I'D BE GETTING SO MUCH TRIM IF IT WEREN'T FOR ALL OF THOSE SUCCESSFUL, WITTY, ATTRACTIVE MEN OUT THERE!

STOP BEING SO FASCIST, YOU RUNNING DOG LACKEY OF THE PATRIARCHY!

Ooh, wait, wait! Let's review! You like reviews, right? I learned this one from you.

When confronted with a nuanced situation, you reduced it to an absurd generalization so you could make pithy comments. They only had to be marginally related to the topic at hand because the point was never discussion, it was growing your e-peen. So then I confronted the fallacies in your logic, and pointed out your posturing, which seems to have actually made you a little angry! So then you said you were leaving the thread. And here's the best part: you couldn't! Because you just had to keep that little pithy little anti-intellectual streak going. Now who's ego is involved?

I fucking see you. I see what you're doing, you piece of shit. What does it say about your site, that one of the admins is a Greyfaced piece of shit? Shouldn't you be on 4Chan?

Welcome back, asshole!
