Do you OkCupid?

My profile is pretty old, but mostly still relevant.

Hmm… 85% match, very cute (I believe I flirted with you in the picture thread) AND you can’t live without Dr. Pepper?

::le sigh:: If only I were a couple years older and a couple thousand miles closer.

At this point, I think I’d prefer to be a couple years younger

You too cannot live without Dr. Pepper?! Perhaps Cupid’s matching system is getting better!

Dr. Pepper is the nectar of the gods, darling. I almost cried when the candy store in our mall shut down because it was the only place nearby where I could find Jelly Belly’s Dr. Pepper jelly beans. ::drool::

Hm… Perhaps 8 years isn’t insurmountable… but that whole opposite-sides-of-the-country thing… darn.

I can’t decide whether this is more funny or more sad: remember the guy who couldn’t take a polite rejection? The one who got all arrogant and accused me of lying in my profile? He wrote to me again today, asking me to look at his “NEW” profile: “There have been some changes. Actually my profile had been in need of a rewrite for some time now. I’m just sorry it had to put you off before I realized it.” Like he hadn’t just insulted me and agreed that we weren’t compatible.

Unbelievable. :rolleyes:

I didn’t bother replying, though I was sorely tempted to tell him where he could stick his NEW profile.

Ahh, what the hell. Here’s my profile. Be gentle.

You’ll probably get a bunch of us online-dating veterans saying this, so let me be the first: post a photo (of yourself)!

Excellent.

If this is true, wouldn’t that mean I’d be matched 100% with myself as a “friend?” I’m only matched 95% match & 92% friend.

From their FAQ:

Why do I only match myself X%?
There are 2 main reasons for this. The first is what we call “reflexive incompatibilities” – there are certain things about yourself you wouldn’t want in a match. For examples, “Would your ideal match hold the door for you?” and “Have you ever pierced your ear?” are the kinds of questions you might answer differently from your ideal match.
Second, we don’t publish your expected match percentage; rather, we publish your minimum match percentage, based on a margin of error. If you match someone 98% and we only have 5% confidence in that, we’ll publish 93%. This is the formula, whether you’re matching yourself or someone else.

I still don’t know why they wouldn’t have 100% confidence in a match with myself, but oh well.

Why are the Google ads here all about Hybrid vehicles?

The ads I’m seeing right now are all about dating: three for finding a girlfriend, one for Christian singles. All of which are about as useful to me as an ad for a hybrid vehicle.
