> [@Leaffan](#): > > I don’t know. I have no experience in any of this, and it was the first one that came to mind. Is there something missing from OkCupid that other sites provide? I think it varies a lot by region. OKC skews young, but in my city it’s used by pretty much everyone. The pay sites are rumored to be a better place to find marriage minded folks, as there is an investment involved. But that may not be true in reality. ---

So, someone messages me and in her profile it states: > [@](#): > > I’m looking for > > ``` > Guys who like girls > Ages 44–90 > > ``` 44-90? Fucking 90? What are you a Playboy model and Hugh can only get it up once a year now or something? 90! It blows my mind. And that’s about all it’s going to blow. Weird shit. ETA: BTW, the rest of her profile was pretty normal, except we are at loggerheads with religion, but she’s not fanatical, so there’s hope. But 90? I messaged her back. Stay tuned. ---

Of the thirty men they messaged your responses weren’t as interesting to them as the responses of the guys they’re talking to right now. There’s no insight to glean from it other than to keep trying. ---

One pattern is that people get bored/drunk and go on message binges, and then later on lose the momentum to follow up. And sometimes things change in people lives. Maybe they are following another prospect that seems promising, or they got real busy at work, or they just decided to put dating on hold for a whole. Don’t think too much of it. Remember the ratio- not all messages will lead to dates.
