Guest iamabe Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I use a dating site. Haven't been too active with it lately though, since I'm trying to figure my life out n' shit. Pros: It is 95% girls on the rebound, so getting laid is like shooting fish in a barrel. And honestly, that's all you should use it for. After college ended, I'm stuck in a town where I don't know too many people, so the dry spell woulda been fuckin' excruciating if it weren't for the internet showing me the way. Also, after several dates with girls I would have otherwise never met, or have little in common with, I do have a better idea of what type of girl I would want to be with for a long period of time, when that happens. Cons: Some awkward dates with girls you just want to abandon on the spot. It can be addictive and time consuming. Damn, I've used OKCupid for like a month now and I've had one date so far, and it was with a girl who I wanted to abandon on the spot. So you're saying the next 19 dates will be fuckfests? That's the site I'm on, and we're both from the Boston area, so we're probably scrolling through the match searches looking at the same girls. Weird! Yes, have patience, interesting stuff will happen. But as someone else put it on WATMM, "The odds are good, but the goods are odd". This is a perfect way to describe online dating and all the hilarity that ensues. "The odds are good, but the goods are odd" is hilarious. And true. OkC has a buttload of hot and weird art school girls but fuck if I have the balls or subject matter to talk to most of them. If you're searching for a 19-23 year old chick who likes weed then we are probably looking at the same chicks. A funny thing about online dating - after my girlfriend and I broke up we both made OkCupid accounts and found eachother by accident. She is a 93% match and 0% enemy. Insane!

Guest iamabe Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Man, I've talked to a few girls on OKCupid, but haven't set up a date with any of them. I think most moderately attractive people on the site are super picky. I've read tons of profiles where I was like, "Jesus Christ, you won't let anything short of a solid gold 10" dick that cums happiness and money squeeze by your filters, will you, madam?" I second this sentiment... a lot of women on OKC like to put up obstacles in their profiles like "message me if you think youre worth it" or "dont bother if you cant make me laugh" which doesnt do anything to make me try. The OKC stats blog is really awesome and insightful. They graphed the reply rate to first messages sent by men based on subject lines. Anything generic in the subject or the first lines like "hey" and "whats up" tended to get ignored while "howdy" and "hey there" got replied to. neat shit and there is even a sub-site in beta right now that lets other users essentially rank your photos to let you see which is "your best face".

marf Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 girls on OKC just ignore u. its a fairly common complaint of male users. I guess Candiru must be a perfect ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBLA Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 you see... conversations in the laundry work! yesterday this hot persian girl came to my door last night cuz she was doing laundry and had no money left in her laundry card and asked if she can use mine and she had cash to give me... my wife was like "WHO THE FUCK IS SHE?" and i was like "some girl i met while doin' laundry!" now i'm banned from the laundry. but back to the persian girl... a big mane of curly hair, hazel eyes, her skin was rather light, nice ass, and big titties. now i'm banned from doing laundry. but i made a deposit in my spank bank none the less.

marf Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Im on Okcupid. Verdict. Girls dont like bald guys. Good to know I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Iain C Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 yay. since i broke up with my girlfriend - who i met in real life, at a party - back in june, i've hit okcupid to give it another go. i saw one american girl from there for a couple of months until her visa ran out. good times. i've had a few other interesting dates, including one tonight as it happens. went well, gonna see her again. i can see why it wouldn't work so well if you don't live in a big city with a large okcupid-using population. for the record i don't go in for all that email ping-pong bullshit... establish interest, set up a real-life meeting as soon as possible. that's the best way.

Guest hahathhat Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 no matter how it goes on the internet, you can't know if there's any real chemistry until you meet. i must confess i've asked someone out over the internet because i was too much of a scared nerd to do it face to face! (it worked ). that was someone i knew in person, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marf Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 No, Im pretty cheery. I have a great profile..I get compliments I post pictures of myself, and had two seperate profiles up. Same content in profile. Ones with a hat. Ones without a hat and bald. The hat profile did very well. Girls dont like bald guys I am talking to a nice attractive girl though. I told her my ex had AIDS for a laugh and she continued talking to me. We are going to meet up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marf Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 i do think the majority of the women on OKC are bat shit. You say you had a lot of luck on OKC, lain? With girls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Iain C Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 some luck with girls, yeah. i mean, since june i've been on four dates from OKC, which isn't that many, but like i say one of those turned into a fun short-term relationship which was only ended by a deportation... and one person became kind of a gig going/casual sex partner... i've also had a lot of interesting conversations and chats with people which is fun in its own right. i guess if you've tested hatless versus hatted and noticed a difference you may have a point... but when i walk down the street or ride the tube i see plenty of attractive women with bald guys and personally speaking i don't think bald guys are necessarily unattractive at all. perhaps it's something to do with your baldy pictures, but not the hair itself - like the angles, what you're doing, your facial expression or who you're with. have you tried http://www.okcupid.com/mybestface? it was very enlightening for me - what i thought was my worst picture with a bad haircut and a stupid facial expression turned out to be the most popular. craigslist on the other hand, now that was a disaster. star wars t-shirt and finger-moustache tattoo. never again.

vamos scorcho Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 the feeling of terror in the face of a "bad date" was fear enough to avoid loose dating altogether for a long stretch of time but i'm over that now. i hope someone out there someday out in the world and me will be together like peas in a pod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marf Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 well, I am meeting up with a really cute girl from OKC. We chat for hours. She has told me her life story, but wants to keep it casual. She ranked me highly on the hat profile, but she liked my profile content and I found her on my other profile and we continued talking and she still likes me. Bald head and all. Cool. Only real issue is i live in the country about an hours drive from anything. That is an actual problem. Also, a pretty (but obese) girl from Shittburgh wants me to get her pregnant. Id say the crazy people on OKC are the entertaining part. Almost everyone there is into some altern-lifestyle or just emotionally fucked Ive deleted my pics cause I was checking out some profile of a girl in my small town and also checking out my sisters friends in a diff city and I feel like a creepster so I got paranoid and made my profile super generic with no pics. So much about the internet turns into stalker creeeper territory. Its the nature of the beast. I winked at this girl in my small little town on OKC and now its super awkward whenever we cross paths. Thanks, lain. I guess you have a point. I have more interest in real life. So maybe you have a point about the photos. Ive noticed one thing. A lot of girls in their early 20's these days like to say they are crazy, evil, or have "issues"..For attention I think. Women don't say this shit. Residual from the teen years I guess.

We are going to meet up. maybe you are just hideously unattractive and you are seriously underestimating how amazing that hat is? Why not make a profile on behalf of the hat? You could then escort the hat on dates and pick up women that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR4 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 i do it only because my public life is so busy and with academic elders that I have very little time to socialize, and usually when i do it is with very immature 18-21 year olds that just want to get drunk all the time....so it would be nice to be able to socially interact with someone that doesn't need to guzzle a four loko.

From my experience and that of people I know I'd say that's the main reason that we get involved in it, rather than just social ineptitude.
