aside: I really like bacon and mention it a few times in my profile.
Another bizarre thing these guys do to pitch woo…
They send me unsolicited pix of their erect cocks!
WTF is that? I was getting so many, I put this in my profile:
Also in my profile, under “you should message me if:”
Also, I completely wrote off a guy who messaged me when I saw that he listed himself as “Higly Inteligant.”
Lol. Anyone else amused?
Yeah, it starts out amusing. After 7 or 8 years of illiterate, knuckle-dragging cock picture-senders, it gets depressing. Sigh.
I was referring to her rapid fire posts, but those sound amusing, too!
Seriously, I wish unintelligent girls were sending me revealing pictures of themselves. Really, they’re just being sexist. They should get with the century and do it already. Amirite? Amirite? :rolleyes:
It’s one of the many delightful differences between the sexes.
Also in my profile, under “you should message me if:”
Guy messages me with this lovely shirt
I eat pussy like a fat kid eats cake
I replied
So you eats pussy in the middle of the night, feeling nothing but shame and hoping no one finds out that you’re in the closet?
I had a kind of funny experience the other day. This was a custodial dad of three kids, ages 11, 8, and 7. After exchanging a couple of emails and texts, I inquired about how he would go about dating someone new. Did he have a babysitter and is he willing to pay them to be able to date 1 or 2 times a week? No. Does he realize that the oldest isn’t old enough to even watch himself, much less his siblings, too? Yeah, he guesses he realizes that. So, what was he planning on doing to date? Bring his kids over here? Have me go there and hang out with them? His next response was to call me demanding and to spout his certain belief that if we were right for each other, things would magically work themselves out, and god what is WRONG with me for suggesting that as a single dad, he shouldn’t date!!
:rolleyes:
And I totally agree on the “no scrub” thing, but for a lot of men that would be seen as being a “gold digger”. Yeah, I’m a little frustrated with the online dating scene at the moment.
I mention in my profile that I’m not interested in dating guys so young.
sigh
Um…His reply:
Here’s a sweet one…
Nice huh? I wasn’t EXACTLY sure what he meant til I read this…
Note the date of the message…Feel that Christmas Spirit, baby! W00t!
Oh, and the cowardly “lone” lion deleted his account directly after he messaged me.
I love free entertainment!
Him: I want a booty pic of you.
Me: It’s good to want things.
Alice,
I’m feeling ya. I got tired of guys who needed to be focusing on themselves and their careers trying to get me to join them in their “salad days.”
I already have a career. I’m so not looking for someone to coddle.
This is a thing of beauty, and I have tears in my eyes now. This may wake me up laughing in the middle of the night.
Please forgive the small grammatical error…
I joined okc and plenty of fish about a week and a half ago (I’m male, 43). Some random observations:
-
I think women get less messages than you think but more than men get. This is because of the general societal norm that men do the asking, so women tend to sit back more and wait to see what comes in. If you’re a man you have to be more pro-active.
-
You get more responses if you’re actually online because you show up higher in searches. Lot of people search for “Who’s Online Now!!” coz they know they might get an immediate yay or nay. So, for example, I’m logged on to okc and pof as I’m writing this. Just leaving it idling ie might as well stay logged in when you’re on the computer anyway.
-
I think everyone reading this thread who is on okcupid should post their profile here so we can all give admiration/constructive criticism as appropriate. After all, we’ve all posted our pictures all over the net in a desperate trawl for members of the opposite (or same) sex. How much lower can we go?
-
Even letters from people you don’t particularly fancy are nice, bit of an ego boost, as long as they’re pleasantly written and show respect. I’ve been sending short funnies about something I read in their profile on the basis that even if they don’t like me, at least I made them laugh. Chicks love jokes I reckon.
I get several messages a day from the most…interesting men. Mostly, the guys I’m interested in are the ones I find myself.
And, of course, are in some way unavailable.
It is my lot in life.
Okay, you first.
I think women get shitloads of messages, actually. 
Ah, that’s a good tip, thanks. I’ll just keep it open in another window or something.
I agree with this. About an hour ago I took some silly test titled “Would we have a good conversation?” or something like that, written by a girl named Lapine. Only like ten people had taken it or so, so I figured she must not be getting drowned in messages. I sent a simple message containing only the following:
There once was a chick named Lapine,
And I found her profile quite obscene,
I filled out half a test,
Said “Oh fuck the rest!”
And wrote to her high on caffeine.
Getting judged by people on a social networking site is one thing, but I get a bit nervous when it comes to people I’ve already been talking with for a while on somewhere like the Straight Dope. >.< Nervous about how it might negatively change your perceptions of me.
I think I did a good job writing my profile.
