Pfff. Sex addicts, yout never see them giving out handjobs for se...oh right.

...to paraphrase what I said earlier...Asking for intelligence is already asking a lot...

I just wanted to draw everyone's attention to this gallery:

Random907ladyface, who is "very intelligent" and "does not read books":
Nicee. What do you do for work?

Me:
Well, as mentioned in my profile (ETA: the first paragraph), I am self employed as a myfascial massage therapist.

Random907ladyface:
That's really cool your self employed! I'm really interested in the business field myself!

Me:
It's a lot of hard work, for sure. Although I would say I am more in the health and wellness field. Being self-employed is just sort of a bonus. I don't like having a boss.

Random907ladyface:
I bet! I wanna be a stock broker!

Me:

Why is that.

Random907ladyface:
I've always been interested in the business field, but I didn't know which part. I think the money is what drives me and to work on wall street. I wanna work on wall street.

Me:
Ah. Well good luck to you.

Me:
Does it ever bother you that wall street is wholly responsible for the economic disparity and inequality the world faces after decades of no regulation?

Random907ladyface:
Regulation of what?

Me:

LOL @ "intelligent and does not read books".

For so long I was in love with business and I didn't know why and then I realised...

I REALLY LIKE MONEY.

Has anything good ever come out of OkCupid?

[Salty]

lulz aplenty.

[Pæs]

I met the wife on OKC. Whether that's something good depends on if you're asking us or Roger, who had to flee New Zealand on a tiny raft.

[The Johnny]

Well, that counts... who knows, maybe its just me, or that here in the 3rd world its a less diverse demographic in such sites, more marginal and elitist, and... well not only that, you need to be well versed in english too so...

ive mostly had interactions with leisurely rich trophy wife material, fuglys and a psychopath... so yeah...

OKCupid is far more useful in English-speaking urban centres.

I got a few dates out of it while I was in London...even if all of them were English literature studying Labour party supporters who watched Doctor Who and Sherlock religiously ( ).

In the countryside, it's pretty hit and miss, and even more so in Europe etc.

[East Coast Hustle]

I met ECHGF on OKC and she's actually one of the most awesome people I've ever known. I have no idea what she was ding slumming on OKC. But I knew it was a good match when her opening line (she contacted me first) was "Hey, so you sound like a bit of an asshole and your tests make you out to be a slut. We should hang out."

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I have met a couple cool people on OKC and stayed friends with them. However, I also think that in Portland it tends to be a cesspit of swingers, the freshly heartbroken (and therefore unsuitable for relationships) and people who are profoundly socially inept.

I may have pissed off a guy tonight, a 40 year old musician who spends his life touring around the US playing for tips and beer money with his wife, by telling him I liked ICP and John Coltrane. I think it was the ICP part that made him stop talking to me, though. :P
