I mean, that does sound like a stupid interface, but maybe you should stop trying to put greetings on separate lines in OKCupid messages.

Dearest Mildred,

I find your profile daguerreotype utterly enthralling. It is my fondest desire that you also find me similarly dashing; perhaps we could indulge in an exchange of saucy ankle pictures? Kindly post them by Pony Express at your nearest convenience, that I may receive them in the coming weeks.

Yours most sincerely,  
Wm. Fitzgerald, Esq.

I use it purely for validation but unless it’s changed very recently I was able to read some messages not that long (within the past year for sure) ago.

Actually, more guys out there in the dating world should be sending saucy ankle pictures.

The questions are still there, just harder to find if you know to look for them, aaaand I pay for okcupid and the bajillion match questions aren’t really that great either, if this is what you get for paying for it, if I go to [match.com](http://match.com) or eharmony, man those likes or looks or whatever it is, those messages better be delivered on gold gilded linen paper by divine doves from on high with trumpets and ruffles and flourishes.  
**Really** , sometimes less is more and I gotta say, you got some very saucy ankles

_bites lip_ This stupid site won’t let me show you everything I want to. Why don’t you sign up at [www.incrediblyobviouscamgirlscam.com](http://www.incrediblyobviouscamgirlscam.com) and I can show you the whole lower leg? The first week is free if you use my code #saucysockarea.
