You hopping on a pogo stick, you wrassling a grizzly bear, you jumping out of a third story window into a dumpster to get away from the ruthless drug lord you unwittingly crossed.
I like it.
I just get “This user is inactive.”
Hmm. Try closing your browser then clicking the link in post 35.
Much better!
Indeed. Check your e-mail. 
i got my first response a few minutes ago .as youcan tell fromthe way i type this , shes really hotlookin .18% Match, 19% Friend, 37% Enemy LOL but hey id do her …
As a 51-year-old, my big problem with OkCupid is they keep showing me these cute 20-something girls who are good matches for me.
It’s one thing to see an attractive young woman on the street–you can tell yourself, “We wouldn’t have anything in common.” But when you see one online (sometimes with rather risqué pictures), and the computer matching program developed by MIT mathematicians tells you you’re 85% compatible with her, and she live within ten miles of you, and she’s a really good writer (the ultimate turn-on!), and you could send her a message with a click of a button…
But she’s young enough to be your daughter!
I tell you, it’s more than flesh and blood can stand! Where the hell was OkCupid when I was 25!?!
Excuse me while I just withdraw into my shell again.
Myself, I don’t have a problem with that. 51-20 is a bit extreme, but 45-30 is OK with me. The only problem is that we may be a little out of sync culturally. Damn kids with their rap music and body piercings. Get off of my lawn and into my bed!
It’s a problem, by the way, that has never plagued me.
Can’t you specify the ages you’re willing to consider? I mean, if you want a 20-something and she wants a 50-something, no biggie. But if you want to stay within your age group…say, 45-55, won’t it filter accordingly?
I suppose I could do that, but you can set a filter on who comes up as a match. I currently have it set for 33-47, but I can change that at will.
But it might help to specify explicitly what I’m looking for.
The one message I got so far was from someone who described herself as “a young girl of 30 years old.” Since my age isn’t hidden, I have to assume that she’s OK with it.
Bounding out a window on a pogo stick into a dumpster, mid-wrassle with the grizzly bear that has been commanded to attack you by the ruthless drug lord you unwittingly crossed by playing your tuba at the beach near the dumpster into which you are bounding…
Nah.
Seriously though, Wow! A little revision goes a long way. Not that your first ad was bad, but the new one is a real improvement.
Good luck with the wimmins!
Thanks! 
I owe it all to you guys. You’ve been a tremendous help.
Just try not to moan “Cecil, Cecil…” when you finally lure some lovely to your bed.
I knowyou like the “secret stolen kisses” bit but to me it says teenagers sneaking around or people having an affair sneaking around. You’re dating her, it’s no secret.
“Hopefull” no good. “Hopeful” or “hope-filled”.
“Meantime” is one word.
What am I saying? Cute chicks don’t care about grammar and spelling. 
Yeah, but there’s something to be said about smart, too. 
Your suggestions have been noted and logged. Thanks!
Secret stolen kisses stays. For now.
Yeah, your updated photo is much, much better. I’ve got an OKcupid profile and it shows the last profile clicked on to the left so your old picture is right next to your new one. The difference is striking.
Only within the last few days have they implemented a feature I asked for within a few days of signing up: that the site automatically remembers your default filter settings for age range, location, and other preferences. Before that, whenever you logged in it would show you everyone (of the opposite sex) from ages 18-99 within 100 miles of you.
So I’m no longer forced to see those 20-year-old cuties. (That’s not saying I don’t look, though!)
That was you? I’m new, so I never saw it the old way. I thought “Hey, cool feature!”
I would like to think so, but being as I suggested it less than two weeks ago (I’ve only been on OKC for about two and a half weeks), and it showed up about a week later, I strongly suspect that other people had proposed it before me.
But what the hell, I’ll take the credit. Yeah, that was me!
What a stud! swoon
So, twickster, how * you* doin’?
You are a woman, aren’t you?
