There's a scene in the movie "Koyaanisqatsi" that strikes me as a pretty good metaphor for OkCupid lately. First there's a shot of a slew of people crammed onto an escalator, riding along to some mall destination. Then the movie jump-cuts to hot dogs flying off of the production line in a meatpacking plant. For me, it was the movie's most striking moment, and certainly its most antisocial. The first shot seems to ask, "Who are all these people? Where are they going? Why do they need this weird apparatus to do it?" The movie's answer to all of the above questions? "MEAT."
I am one of many sausages fresh off the seemingly endless supply line. I am a guy on OkCupid. And lately it fucking sucks to be here.
I'd like to think that in the year 2011 we're well enough past the "online dating is creepy" stigma phase. As an internet-savvy youf myself, I kind of considered that phase over in 2003-2004, around the time when Match.com launched its massive advertising campaign and Nerve.com personals were the go-to spot for attractive, alternative-y 20somethings. We had learned that, yes, there were creeps and viruses on the internet, but there was also FREE MUSIC AND HOT PEOPLE, and god damn if that didn't facilitate learning how to sort the crap from the awesome. And circa 2005, when MySpace got big and Google became a household verb, forget about it. With the advent of social networking and Googlestalking, we were all free to date online with relative safety and without stigma.
As a personal anecdote, I've been an OkCupid member since 2004, 2005—somewhere thereabouts, and I don't remember or care exactly when. And yeah, I know anecdote is not evidence, but for what it's worth: a healthy amount of OkC activity in the years 200X-2007 has dropped off to almost nil in the past three years (2008-2011). 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.
So I'm not suggesting that OkC is the only thing that's changed here. As a good scientist, I have to note that too many variables have changed to make any sort of umbrella assessment. That said, this site has turned into a fucking wasteland.
"I'm beginning to think I'm like the Death Knell of OkCupid," I posted on my Facebook a few weeks ago. "Roughly 1/4 of the hotties I'd like to hit on end up deleting/un-activating their profile within a couple of months of my visit. Is that just a normal rate of attrition for that site, or am I driving them away, screaming and horrified?"
"The hotter the girl the higher the delete rate," responded my brother. "I haven't seen a truly good looking girl make it more than a month before deleting their profile or just going dark. They get impossible amounts of mail - more than they could ever respond to - and when they figure out a month in that the deluge isn't going to stop and most of the messages are pervy, most girls pull the plug."
It's alarming, the number of attractive women who register, create great profiles, and then suddenly disappear a few months later. Sad as it is, I think my brother hit the nail on the head.
Many women users find themselves in the position of fending off the hornballs by posting stringent requirements at the very top of their profiles. I see women saying things along the lines of "don't message me if you're married" in enough numbers to suggest that there are actually creeper men out there who are mentioning their marriages in their opening messages. As though women would consider a tryst with them HOTTER than the average no-strings-attached lay. For real? And even barring that case, plenty of women still feel the need to explicitly ban sexuality from their dating profile as a safety measure, to the point where there's so much pussyfooting around the topic ("Just looking for friends and then we'll see what happens") that one wonders if they're even sexual beings at all.
Personally, I'm upset by the massive decrease in responses from females I write to. It used to be that a "wink" or an "added to favorites" didn't merit a response—and then it became clear how useless those features were on a dating site. One hopes for articulate partners, right? So then it changed and a dashed-off message didn't merit a response. But now we're at the point where even a thoughtful intro message are still routinely met with complete radio silence in the name of etiquette. I've written many messages that indicate that not only have I read the person's profile, but that I actually found it interesting and attractive, have something in common with them, and am a smiling human being with a sense of humor. Lately I even usually say something along the lines of "Please drop me a line even if you're not interested—I'd prefer a 'No thanks' to no answer at all."
Even with an escape hatch built into my opening message, I still get nuthin'. Nada.
Dude, I get that I'm not Johnny Depp. I understand that I have some weird traits compared to the average Joe. But seriously—no response? Do you ignore people when they hold the door for you, too? Do you tip at restaurants?
So I'm wondering: Has OkCupid reached its critical sausage mass? Are there just too many guys too desperate for pussy? Is the group of hornball guys—and I do believe they're the minority—just so big at this point that they're scaring off the female userbase? Are people with specialty needs and identities like mine (Buddhist, childfree, poly, queer, etc.) leaving mainstream-oriented sites like OkC for more niche-oriented sites (DharmaDate, PolyMatchMaker, FetLife, etc.)?
Whatever the reason, it has resulted in lots of negative circumstances for the male user base. There is currently an OVERWHELMING pressure for decent, interested fellas to write brilliant, literary-quality opening messages to females. We just can't meet those standards. Everyone wants to be disarmed by brilliant wit. The rest of us are stuck with conversation. 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"? What if he, like many human beings, wants to explore his sexuality? The female OkC userbase is so busy swatting down the Neanderthals that there's no room for actual sex-positive dialogue from either side of the fence.
So I have some reminders for the guys and the girls.
Guys: Up your fucking game. Don't write messages with your dick. As Dan Savage put it this week, "drain your sack" before you get on here and message ladies. Otherwise it's like you're going grocery shopping on an empty stomach. You just don't do it.
Girls: There are actual male human beings messaging you, and you're writing them off because of the sex-crazed horndogs who do a disservice to my sex/gender. Fucking stop being cowardly and have the decency to say "Thanks, but I'm not interested right now" to the kind but unattractive fellas who write non-cookie-cutter messages. (Although if there's any chance they could've cut-and-pasted their message, radio silence is the way to go.)
Everyone: Be more forthright about what you want and don't want, need and don't need. Work for gender equality. Talk to people online the way you would in real life. Let your sexuality be a regular normal thing, instead of something that scares you or controls you. Don't waste people's time. Say thank you when someone compliments you. Take no for an answer. Don't be afraid to say no as your answer. Wake up. Fight back. Damage the status quo. It's fun.
Well, I don't know what variables it is for you, but me personally, I've never had much problems meeting people via OKC.
In fact, I just met 3 people in the last month from that site, and here in Aus, where the pickings are much slimmer, I think it does alright.
But I get where you're coming from. Maybe its your profile?
I've tried mucking around with mine quite a bit. Changing your profile does merit different results.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that it's 95% you and 5% OKC.
Not only do I not have any problems meeting people on OKC, but sometimes I have to engage in the same sort of filtering that you say many of the women engage in.
Of course, I also attract WAY more than my fair share of losers, creepers, and smelly wiccans, but that's to be expected on the internet.

Enh, sorta. I was kinda unclear.

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.)

That's a pretty cynical view of human sexuality. It doesn't have to be black-and-white, romantic partnered coochy-woochy snookums lovemaking vs. ruthless objectifying selfishness.

(Although based on people's responses I'm beginning to doubt that, too.)
You sound like one of those whiny sensitive new-age guys who almost never gets laid and wants to know what's wrong with everyone who won't sleep with you and is incensed (INCENSED, I SAY!) that apparently a whole lot of women who are on the internet looking for casual sex really don't give two shits about your intellect and how deep you are and would rather sleep with a good-looking (or at least self-confident) guy who isn't too shy to let them know what he wants.
Not saying you ARE one of those guys, but if that's how it comes across here, to us, imagine how it comes across to actual girls.
I can fully attest that Saturnine is not like that, but maybe his profile is making it seem that way?
OR...girls are getting so shellshocked from these fuckwads and give up on the online scene entirely, leaving honest nice guys out in the cold, because the rest of the men in the world are disgusting penis-photo obsessed grunting losers.

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?
That's a pretty cynical view of human sexuality. It doesn't have to be black-and-white, romantic partnered coochy-woochy snookums lovemaking vs. ruthless objectifying selfishness.
It is what it is.
I tried to formulate a coherent response, but I couldn't stop laughing to the point of creating deadly high-speed snotrockets at the very idea of "honest nice guys".

If they actually exist, well, I don't feel sorry for them. What a lame schtick!

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.

Who do you think "those guys" are? Human males looking for casual sexual encounters.
Enh, sorta. I was kinda unclear.

That's kind of the theory I'm advancing, yeah. A relatively small subset of males are doing things with such wide negative impact. And I gather that when you combine that with all my specific weirdness, I'm just essentially shut out of a "mainstream" site like OkC.
I definitely do see it as a vicious cycle: hornball males get the female population to shut down to sexuality; the withdrawn females require more aggressive advances, wittier coaxing, etc. Rinse. Repeat.
I guess that's how power stays entrenched.

Let's review:
Your strategy is - for one reason or another - not working. Rather than alter your strategy, you have elected to instead complain about the reasons it isn't working, filtered heavily by your own biases.
Like I said, it is what it is, and bitching isn't going to change a fucking thing. Either adapt your strategy, or accept the results.

Second, I've already made it clear (in direct response to one of your posts -- you read it, right?) that one of the whole reasons I'm talking about this is because I'm revising my dating strategy in general. So there goes your theory about me being content to rest on my laurels and bitch.
I'm just saying: you seem to want to fit things into very pat little boxes and package them up with pithy statements that sound good on paper but don't actually mean much.
There is a cyclical tide on dating sites.
First, nobody knows about them.
Then, that's where the hotties are.
Then, it's a sausage fest.
Then, it's a ghost town.

QuoteIf you don't know the gathering spots, well, not only can we not recommend you one, but it's impossible to find one because as soon as it is known to be a cool place to hang out, a horde of idiots comes and makes it kind of suck. For example, the Something Awful Forums were the place to be from 2001-2004, and 4chan was where it was at from 2004-2006, and up until recently Reddit was a pretty awesome website, but I would not recommend any of those anymore.

Heres an observation from my end:
At one point, I had quite a few straight guys messaging me on there. Now, I don't really fool around with straight guys because frankly they're just trying to get a secret safe gay fix and I'm not into that. That, however, wouldn't have stopped me if there was a nice well mannered attractive "straight" guy who messaged me and started talking with me. Of course, such a guy wouldn't actually be straight (probably), just so in his profile.
However, all the "straight" guys messaging me for for their safe gay fix got old really fast, so I put a note on my profile saying that I wasn't interested.
The conclusion I've come to is that people I would NOT like to fuck of any sex, gender or orientation are abundant regardless of where I look. Although I have met a couple really nice people at OKC, long term friends, the people I would like to be with are few, therefore the looking is difficult. I recognize that and don't go messaging every "hottie" I see out of desperation, which is what it seems YOU do. I knew you were just whining when you used the word "hottie", indicating just how shallow your intentions were. ALL THE HOTTIES WON'T TALK TO ME!!!
Hey, I'd talk to you. Under the contract that you wouldn't act like a mysogynist. And quit whining.
Oddly, I would get a lot of messages when I refused to put a profile pic up (stalker problem, as is mentioned on this site). Then I put one up and they stopped.

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?
I'll tell you what to do to get some girls...
Lie. And then Lie more.
This is a dating site...
People are not going to take face value what you post and then send you a great reply, you have to spice it up...
Or something......

That's exactly the reason I'm into poly -- it's about keeping everything above board. It's also why I won't sign up for a site like ambermadison.com. Cheating and the closet and all that stuff is just baggage that's better off not factoring into a relationship.

Well, yeah. You don't mention your gender anywhere (although I seem to remember talking to you about it a couple years ago when I was more active?), but I'm assuming you're male. Anyway, yeah, it's tougher to find people who "fit" when you're queer, and it only gets slimmer the more identity stakes you add to the equation. So I think at some point mainstream dating venues become useless. Me on OkC may be the online equivalent of a gay dude trying to score in a straight bar.

Don't gimme that crap. One of the advantages of online dating is that you can select for physical attractiveness first and foremost. I see that as a good thing. And I see nothing wrong with calling "someone" a "hottie" when that "someone" is, in fact, just an online profile. If they write back, THEN it's absolutely time for something a little less objectifying.

:omg:
And 4chan is full of greyfaces, presumably.
This is why I love the peedee, you always learn something new.
As for okc, mebbe because it's because of where I live, mebbe it's my personality but it's always been a big sack of fail for me. Also, strategy? Why use strategy? You meet people, you talk, you bang, you stick around. Or not. So many monkeys and they all want a piece of you the same way you want a piece of them. Which ones are worth it? Which ones find you worth the precious time we have such little of? Where's the strategy come into play?

Still waiting for an explanation about the powers that be, patriarchy and OKCupid.
Because otherwise you are just hiding behind a big word and expecting it to be your catch-all shield without getting called on it.
Sorry. I don't know you or trust you, and given the anti-intellectual streak in the thread so far, I don't feel really inclined to type up what would amount to another essay.
So instead you get the nutshell version. The patriarchy (if you believe there is such a thing, which apparently some people on this board don't -- so let's go with kyriarchy instead) makes women into sexual commodities (among other things). Women are the in-demand commodity on dating sites. Men send messages in bulk; women get to be picky about selecting. So the commodification backfires against men. A world with less sex/gender disparity would presumably have fewer hornball guys acting like dipshits, and fewer women guarding their sexuality under the presumption that it can and will be taken from them.
jesus this thread took a turn. Well as a girl I think the problem is most likely Saturwhatever is you're ugly and being a dick to these people. Ugly people with charm can get laid. Gorgeous people can be dicks and get laid. Combine fat, ugly and being a dick and you're not getting laid, you're just fucked.
Change your attitude and see what happens. Also, maybe pick another site. You might find a better match elsewhere.
Straight up, don't get to hopeful for a shitload of one nighters. Find a nice girl who lets you fuck her and make the best of it.
In any event, straighten up your act or go home to mommy, but stfu you're fucking emo. Girls really don't like that shit dude. Those moves lie!

I have it on pretty good authority that I'm not ugly, although like I said in the first post I'm not gorgeous or anything. And although I'm definitely being a dick in this thread, as a general rule I'm really polite. Plenty of friends on here can vouch for that. Charm is my whole angle. So yeah, to that extent I think your advice about picking another site is good.

I have it on pretty good authority that I'm not ugly, although like I said in the first post I'm not gorgeous or anything. And although I'm definitely being a dick in this thread, as a general rule I'm really polite. Plenty of friends on here can vouch for that. Charm is my whole angle. So yeah, to that extent I think your advice about picking another site is good.
Translation: MY FRIENDS TELL ME THAT I'M CHARMING AND ATTRACTIVE. MY FRIENDS WOULDN'T LIE TO ME, WOULD THEY?

jesus this thread took a turn. Well as a girl I think the problem is most likely Saturwhatever is you're ugly and being a dick to these people. Ugly people with charm can get laid. Gorgeous people can be dicks and get laid. Combine fat, ugly and being a dick and you're not getting laid, you're just fucked.
Change your attitude and see what happens. Also, maybe pick another site. You might find a better match elsewhere.

If I may...
QuoteIt's alarming, the number of attractive women who register, create great profiles, and then suddenly disappear a few months later. Sad as it is, I think my brother hit the nail on the head.
Of course there
is the possibility that most
women people on a dating site are trying to find a monogamous relationship, and the attractive, intelligent ones will succeed more often than unattractive ones; and once you're in a relationship, there's no need to keep your OKC account open. What you're seeing is natural turnover.
Also,
QuoteFuthermore, god forbid a decent, articulate human male actually is looking for a relatively casual sexual encounter.
The patriarchy... makes women into sexual commodities (among other things).
Just saying.
Why don't you just go to www.manhunt.net if you want a casual sexual encounter?
Maybe your standards are a bit high.
I myself being somewhat attractive, I don't really care what my So looks like. I do not mind fat or ugly (to a point now lol). AS long as the guy Im talking to has a good brain, has to be smart, I love the nerds.
So try lowering your standards next time you sign up for a INTERNET DATING SITE.

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?
I am crushed by your witty response. CRUSHED, I TELL YOU! :x

Hell, I don't claim to be the brightest bulb on the Christmas Tree, and I do totally understand that getting off your ass and finding a better place to be, whether it's your dating website or your whole bloody life, isn't easy... But, fuck, there are a hundred dating sites out there.

Quote from: ϗ, M.S. on March 04, 2011, 12:30:03 AM
Heres an observation from my end:
At one point, I had quite a few straight guys messaging me on there. Now, I don't really fool around with straight guys because frankly they're just trying to get a secret safe gay fix and I'm not into that. That, however, wouldn't have stopped me if there was a nice well mannered attractive "straight" guy who messaged me and started talking with me. Of course, such a guy wouldn't actually be straight (probably), just so in his profile.
However, all the "straight" guys messaging me for for their safe gay fix got old really fast, so I put a note on my profile saying that I wasn't interested.
That's exactly the reason I'm into poly -- it's about keeping everything above board. It's also why I won't sign up for a site like ambermadison.com. Cheating and the closet and all that stuff is just baggage that's better off not factoring into a relationship.
I think being INTO "poly" is missing the point. Either people are wired that way, or aren't. Relationships aren't "poly". You just sound like a slut. Not that there's anything wrong with that, rather, you just seem to be saying you're morally above all those other people.
QuoteQuote from: ϗ, M.S. on March 04, 2011, 12:30:03 AM
The conclusion I've come to is that people I would NOT like to fuck of any sex, gender or orientation are abundant regardless of where I look.
Well, yeah. You don't mention your gender anywhere (although I seem to remember talking to you about it a couple years ago when I was more active?), but I'm assuming you're male. Anyway, yeah, it's tougher to find people who "fit" when you're queer, and it only gets slimmer the more identity stakes you add to the equation. So I think at some point mainstream dating venues become useless. Me on OkC may be the online equivalent of a gay dude trying to score in a straight bar.
No, I don't mention it. If it makes you feel better assume away. But more importantly, it's your last statement that spells out the point. You are "trying to score". Have you considered that the majority of people out there just trying to score don't care anything about how sensitive and intelligent you are? In my experience, when people just want casual sex it's all about a few variables. If you're really just looking for casual sex, maybe you should change your methods and persona?

I recognize that and don't go messaging every "hottie" I see out of desperation, which is what it seems YOU do.
I think it's hilarious how many things people are assuming based on the things I haven't explicitly stated. On average, I message one user every one to two months.
I only worked under the word you used. Which, by the way, always ends up objectifying the subject. My bad if on the planet you're from things are different.
QuoteQuote from: ϗ, M.S. on March 04, 2011, 12:30:03 AM
I knew you were just whining when you used the word "hottie", indicating just how shallow your intentions were. ALL THE HOTTIES WON'T TALK TO ME!!!
Don't gimme that crap. One of the advantages of online dating is that you can select for physical attractiveness first and foremost. I see that as a good thing. And I see nothing wrong with calling "someone" a "hottie" when that "someone" is, in fact, just an online profile. If they write back, THEN it's absolutely time for something a little less objectifying.
See above. No one is interested in being an object except the BDSM crowd. And the people who write those profiles are people, lest you forget that tautology.
QuoteQuote from: ϗ, M.S. on March 04, 2011, 12:30:03 AM
Hey, I'd talk to you. Under the contract that you wouldn't act like a mysogynist. And quit whining.
Rad! But, uh, misogynist? I typically think of myself as pretty down for sex/gender equality.
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?

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.

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?

:lulz: How the hell did I not notice this thread?
You were gone.
I'm gonna say, as a chick on OK Cupid, that the main reason some guys don't get much action is because women are FUCKING DELUGED with messages, and 99% of the messages are from men who are flat-out delusional if they think they're in their league. Here is my process: IF I have time I scan the message and if it's not retarded, I go look at the guy's pictures. If he's somewhere in a reasonable ball-park of attractiveness to be hitting on me, I read his profile. If he doesn't sound like a douche, I reply. I will message a hot, smart guy in my age range if he winks at me.
ALMOST EVERY GUY who messages me is a retard, ten years too young, ten years too old, a hick, or not in my league. I am not stuck up, but it's a fact that in general, people date as attractive of people as they can pull, and that is about 600 times MORE true when it comes to casual sex.
If you're not getting any replies, re-assess the situation. Reflect on your profile and see if it sounds interesting and engaging to the people you would like to meet. LOOK IN THE MIRROR. Now, DO NOT MESSAGE girls who are significantly hotter/younger/older than you are unless their profile specifically says they're slumming for sex. It's an insult and a waste of their time, and you are in no way entitled to a response.
Of course, the drawback of online dating is that sometimes people who are beautiful in pictures have the charisma of a rusty pole in person. I once dated a model who was so unhot in person it was absurd.
So, be interesting and have good, interesting pictures that give some sort of sense of what you're like to hang out with.
The reverse of that is some people are hideous in photos, and look quite good in person.
Quote from: Jenkem and Bubble Baths on April 07, 2011, 09:19:00 PM
The reverse of that is some people are hideous in photos, and look quite good in person.
Also very true.
That's another limitation of online dating, and a reason people who want to date should be out at events and parties meeting people.
However, I'll tell you, MOST people I've met from OK Cupid looked better in pictures, because they used extremely flattering pictures from ten years ago. Fuckers.
Also, FFS, do NOT write a lengthy initial message. Just "Hi, you seem interesting, mention of or question about something I saw in your profile? Fun or interesting thing about me. Have a great week!" is PLENTY. The goal is just to give them a reason to check out your profile and something to reply to if they're interested.
Indeed. Nobody wants to read War and Peace when a couple lines will do it.
I am one of the women who was run off the site by creepers.
Dear 50 year old men, please don't tell me that all you want for Christmas is me.
I also seemed to be popular with wannabe latino gangsters. My name is neither Mami nor Chula, go away.
Don't write paragraphs about how attractive you think I am. You might think its nice, but its weird. Women don't actually respond well to being over-complimented.
DON'T WRITE ME ANGRY NOTES BECAUSE I HAVEN'T RESPONDED CALLING ME SUPERFICIAL. ITS THE INTERNET. I CAN IGNORE YOUR UGLY ASS IF I WANT. ARE YOU MESSAGING PEOPLE YOU THINK ARE UGLY??
I wrote back to: people actually within 5 years of my age who wrote short funny messages
Unfortunately they were outnumbered 20:1 by the other type
In conclusion, stop creepin, be amusing.

Lately, it's been trendy for Canucki girls to message me. Well, they're from BC but that's very close to Canada. I'm not sure what they're trying to accomplish. Surely they can't want to move to America. Anyone who would trade Vancouver for PDX is some kind of retard.
No offense, PDX. Don't send me to the bridges.
I discovered that you can look to see your ratings and who's rated you, and I discover all these ugly guys who have never messaged me, but gave me one star. :? What is up with that?
I've pretty much given up on OkCupid. Once a month or so I'll get a bug up my ass and log in, but I mostly just send random people MSPaint pictures inspired by lines in their profiles, probably the best of which was this:
(http://i30.tinypic.com/bgy7gg.jpg)
(The girl in question actually really liked that one, btw. It was in context with her self-description.)
So yeah, can't say I've had much luck with OkCupid. Now MySpace back in the day was another story.
I tried dating sites for a while, never got a message from anyone. Never got a reply either. All in all, probably just as well.
No one ever compliments me on my attractiveness, bar one - the only person that it matters hearing it from. (Though I think she might be vaguely delusional, I dare not break the spell).

I think Friday night might be the best night to randomly message people with weird shit.
Anyone who is on okcupid on a Friday night is probably in need of any kind of mental stimulation since they aren't getting any stimulation of any kind.

To no avail. I've only made one meatspace friend from that, which did lead to more meatspace friends. But in anycase OKcupid has not been helpful in it's primary mission. I have decided to subvert its mission for the lulz.
And I still hate that the crazy girl I was talking too suddenly stopped talking to me. Ridiculous amount of compatibility. :argh!:
A cute little 20 year old Mormom just looked at my profile. http://www.okcupid.com/profile/beenathequeena
She also likes vampires.
I need help with this one.

I love how the majority of women that are some reason matches with me all feel that way. I just don't care. As long as they don't have man-like facial, chest or back hair I really don't fucking care, and if they want some oral from me a bit of a bush trim is nice. Also not bothered by people smelling like a person, a clean person mind you.

I grew up with hippies. I have no problem with unshaved legs, on the other hand shaving periodically and then letting stubble grow, that I don't like, it's painful to sleep with (in either the having sex or actually cuddling up and sleeping sense)
I don't have an issue with women who don't shave their legs and other bits; I just don't like getting hair in my teeth and rugburn on my cheeks when I'm down there.

You'd be amazed.
I generally write it off to, "he doesn't care if he finds it or not."
When I was a virgin, I was fairly worried (from all the stories I heard) that I was going to have a really hard time finding it.
Then, the first time I was granted access, I was all, "Wait... It's right there. How dumb are these guys?"
Oh hey, ladies; I found a place in the OKC setting menu to set message filters to block ancient pervs, barely-pubescent horndogs, and people who are looking for a quick lay from chatting/messaging you. That way you won't even have to click on their profile to find out they're over 55 and married!

Very, very dumb. It's like not being able to find someone's nose on their face.
I mean, finding it by touch alone in the dark can be tricky, depending on your girl's anatomy, but not THAT tricky.
Christ, the little fucker is practically waving its hand yelling "here I am! Yo! Over here!"
I've talked to men my age who still thought women peed out of their vaginas and were amazed to hear there's a separate urethra in the vulva. Also of shock to some men seems to be the idea that the vulva and the vagina aren't the same thing. If people are missing that kind of information, I can see how knowing where to find the clit would seem like something for the advanced class.
Sorry, ladies. :sad:
I'm sure several ladies around here can, in fact, confirm some men ARE that dumb.
Well, maybe we should keep it a secret.
A guy who can consistently provide orgasms (or at least a certain level of stimulation) can make some women do awfully silly things.

Seriously, this. Most of what I remember from sex ed in high school is pictures of diseased pubic regions. "Sex ed" is pretty much just trying to scare kids away from sex, which seems to be having the unintended side effect of leading to more and more kids getting their sexual educations from hardcore pornography.

This probably explains the apparent boom in scandalous student-teacher relationships.
In fact, while I'm glad that I missed the era of students getting expelled and/or prosecuted for school fights, I'm more than a little peeved that I also missed the era of hot-to-trot teachers and girls who freely have anal sex to preserve their technical virginity.

I dunno, most guys don't watch a girl pee and the urethra is kind of hard to notice if she's not actually peeing. Vulva and Vagina meanwhile are anatomical vocabulary, you can know what do with both without knowing the names for either. Finding the clit is something that is in the interest of pretty much anyone sexually interested in females, and it's easy. And you can look at pictures online to give you an idea of what you are looking for.
I think there may be some confusion with the G-spot, which is much more difficult to locate.

You can only block the honest ones, who check the "casual sex" box in the "looking for" section.

We all want sex, right? It just depends on the context. I want it with a steady.
There still seem to be a few people who are using it as an actual dating site, for meeting cool new people. Mostly, though, it's turned into a pickup joint for horndogs and swingers.
Frankly, I still find Craigslist a better way to meet quality people. And actually going outside and doing stuff an even better way.

Laugh if you must.
Please don't do both at the same time.

I disabled my account after one too many creepos thought that my newly-single status and declaration that I'm not actually dating right now was a combination that makes me ripe for initially pretending to be sweet and caring, then trying to bully/guilt trip me into a relationship or sex.
In a related note, I've had to delete and block several creepers off of Facebook since my status went to single as well. Ugh. However, I don't think you have to deal with the same kind of basement dwellers I do. It's hard to find a nice catch in the geek world.
I got one on the hook right now, now I hope I don't break the line.
My next account is going to be hyper-abusive.
"Fuck off, I don't WANT to meet anyone. I hate you all with the fire of a thousand suns."
Betcha I get loads of hits. Mostly in Kentucky and Tennessee, where many women think their husbands don't love them if they don't beat them up once a month or so.

In a related note, I've had to delete and block several creepers off of Facebook since my status went to single as well. Ugh. However, I don't think you have to deal with the same kind of basement dwellers I do. It's hard to find a nice catch in the geek world.

I suggest changing your status to show you are in a relationship with Nigel.

:lulz: I am pretty sure that wouldn't discourage ANYONE.
Until you get to the part where the shared kink in your relationship is that you both like to share a guy to take turns on...
...with a brutally large strap-on.

I liked having me & Mr. Language be all connected & shit. :( It was dorky, but felt sweet.
Yeah. The proverbial "shouting it from the rooftops".
That can be a jinx sometimes, though.

I didn't know what "jinx" meant until I was like 35.
I still don't believe in that shit.
However, I am pretty sure that if I could just get hold of Mr. Bones and throw him in a river, our problems would be solved. Fuck Mr. Bones.
Mr. Bones sounds like the name for a teddy bear of a particularly morbid-minded child.

Not a literal woowoo jinx. More metaphorical, as in "getting other people involved in the early stages of something, even if they mean well - no, ESPECIALLY if they mean well - tends to destroy your shit".
I don't know who Mr. Bones is, but I've got some cinderblocks if ya need em. Just sayin".

Mr. Bones is a troublemaker, and I intend to end him.
Who IS this guy?? :?
Did you talk about him before? Sometimes I get the nicknames confused a bit.

Nope. Just met him in March.
OK, so I just got messaged by some typical pagan chick (morbidly obese, uses too much eyeliner to try to cover obvious skin flaws) who responded to my anti-portland-douchebag diatribe by quoting the "Portlanditis" comic that was posted a few days back as though it were her own original thought.
I can't decide whether to link her to her own intellectual plagiarism and point out that it's exactly what I'd expect from the kind of person I was talking about in the rant, or if I should just reply with "Sorry, I'd respond to you but I'm virulently racist against Pagans."
:lulz:
Both.

Tell her to wash off the patchouli, stop plagiarizing, and try again.
So I set up an okcupid account yesterday, and I must say I'm disappointed. Haven't found anyone particularly creepy or repulsive yet.
Though on the upside, I did find this one totally awesome girl on there who's a student taxidermist, and have now developed a total platonic crush. Nothing romantic, just "HOLY SHIT THIS PERSON IS AWESOME". It is glorious.
I've more or less abandoned my OkCupid profile, but it's not the only profile I've made on dating sites. Sometimes I make them just for fun and so I can browse and people-watch rather than any intention of contacting anyone. That's why I still get spam from the Atlasphere. :x
That said, once in a while I still get emails on these sites despite me only logging in once in a blue moon, and they're never from anyone I see being a good match for me. It comes down to:
My ideal someone: A semi-nerdy intelligent tomboy who reads and thinks for herself but still looks good in a dress when we go out dancing. (Also someone to learn to dance better with.)
What I'm attracting: Persons of occasionally questionable gender whose interests are basically just lists of British bands from the 80's that I've never heard of and references to Marxism.
Obviously I'm doing something way, way wrong.
I just got asked out by a guy who is of more or less my own race. This is fairly unusual, since I live in Portland. He has FIVE KIDS. FIVE!

Did you spell out exactly what you want in your profile? I find that helps.

Haing already contacted anyone worth speaking to in a travelable distance, I begin my plan to replace all OKC private information with Hip Hop lyrics.
My profile is basically a big plop of troll shit, and yet I still get messages. The only men I attract, however, are fat polyamorous pagans who want me to threesome them and their spotty greying wives.

For clarification, I get decent people hitting on me on OKC (That I never message back because the internet is scary), but in RL, seriously, it's all dirty hippies and poly dudes.

Oh goodness. This is one of those threads that makes me want to scream and cry and run towards the nearest living thing and kill it. which at this time is my roommate who i so happened to meet on OKC. :lulz:
I still don't understand why, if he was bi and wanted a random sexual encounter, he didn't just go to Grinder.com and find some cute twink to blow him?
