It's something we'll never have so there's a fascination with it. When I was younger (and a full fledged tomboy) I thought mustaches + sunglasses were the epitome of cool.

So I'm probably overthinking this but I asked a girl out for coffee today via text and she replied along the lines of saying she'd "love to hangout"--hangout? We're still meeting up on Sat for coffee but hopefully she gets the idea that it's a coffee date.

Yes. Duh.
Well it was literally my first date ever and it was at her apartment so I didn't really know what to do. Could never tell if she wanted me to kiss her, lol.How was it awkward? At least you guys kept going.
Thankfully we had a lot in common to talk about and she thought I was good looking. B-)
Reactivated my account after hearing a sweet story about how my coworker met her wife online. Never been curious about what others think about my profile until now.

looks good, my man. gave you 5 stars
I consistently get the highest match ratings with gaffers, YOU GUYS ARE MY SOUL MATES
And I have reactived my account. I deactivated it after I met a girl out around a month and a half ago, we dated for a bit but it didn't work out so I'm back at it. I have completely rewritten all my info this time though.
Anyone want to PM me and I'll shoot them my profile so I can get some opinions? Opinions from females would be more than welcome.

So my OKC date went ok tonight. She wasn't as physically attractive as the pics she posted up (the angles!!!), but we clicked just fine. We're both going home for the holidays but will try to meet afterwards. About the only success I've had so far on OKC.
Edit: Good stuff Eltacoman!

What do you mean "it"
"The one"?
Listen, I am far from some PUA but thinking like this will get you killed. Your mindset should be always "no big deal."
Sorry, I meant someone that I actually may develop a relationship with haha.
Yeah I'm thinking that. She just finally put the nail in the coffin for me yesterday. I'm DONE. She's tearing me apart!
Time to look for something new.

So, follow up. I ended up texting her later that day. She texted back, and we've been talking fairly regularly since. We're actually chatting right now, and I'm gonna see if I can slip a date invite in.
Do it man, I gotta see you get in there!

Rated. Nice variety of pics. Also maybe because I just had a really good dinner with TD, if any of you are at all into cooking take a pic of yourself doin' it.

We ended up talking about the psychology of people with multiple profiles (one for dating, one/multiples for sex/kink/whatever). Interesting, but dates didn't come up. We're clicking though, she gave me her gchat address, so we'll talk later today while she's at work.
Also:
I may use this on her. "If the world doesn't end on Friday, you come out w/ me to ________"
Was supposed to go on a date last night that I was really looking forward to, but the girl canceled because she said she woke up very sick. At least she let me know early in the day and not at the last minute.
She did offer up another day to meet up (not until next week because of holidays) so I'm assuming she's still interested and didn't just flake.

Sounds like you made the right move
Hard to get mad when it's that creative. More like "yeah.. okay. pretty awesome response, but okay."
I totally did! I am much more free than I was trying to make something out of nothing with her.
Now you guys can check out more exploits from me in the future! |D
Aww this is fuckin' weird! I'm getting all sorts of ladies checking out my profile now. Bizarre! It's like they can smell the single-ness.
Yeah it's rough as far as timing. Girl I went out with last week has a crazy work schedule along with the holidays makes it tough. At least she said she was definitely interested in meeting up again after the holidays. Anyway, meeting someone after work tonight.
Nice bro. Yeah it's tough to meet right now, but sending messages during the holidays should be just as easy not. I bet a lot of women out there are really looking for some one-on-one if they're single right now.

Here's me, my last go through was toning down the video game notes a bit. I still want it in there, but I added a bunch of other stuff. Suggestions?

It's done. Coffee, tomorrow afternoon. Wish me luck OKC-Gaf
Awesome job! Did you use the "end of the world" line?
I just sent like over 20 messages to random girls. Now I play the waiting game.

Tone it down even further. Like in half, or even better, keep the only mentions about them related to your job (which you can do, and is good).
I understand the want to get a chick who is "down" with gaming, but honestly it's just too big of a barrier to entry, many girls will filter you out instantly even if they don't necessarily hate video games.
All your pictures look exactly the same. Get different angles or some action shots or pair it down significantly. A full body picture would be good.

Yeah nothing but headshots => boring.
* Sarcasm (that works here right?)
Another contender for I am humorous/sarcastic/funny but nowhere can it be found on my profile.
/tough love
Gonna have to agree, you have like several relations to sarcasm yet no actual sarcasm in your profile (unless you think writing it over and over works).
Gonna have to pull out the "the world is a sub and I'm the dom" or something equally weird for people to go "huh. this guy really is sarcastic"

If you changed your status to single in the site, that shows up in the news feed.

I think if you switch up your main profile pic it shows up in the feed too but I could be mistaken.
What is it?

I posted some of the messages that stood out in my inbox and one of them was just the simple question "pizza or sushi", apparently it's been working for some folks in here =D.

I started ending my messages wih...
Pizza or sushi?
I believe devo first introduced it in this thread and another poster commented how he got positive results. So I tried it and bam it worked.
no you didn't!
Cool, I'll try it next time I send some messages out.

Updating stuff, thanks for the notes guys. I was never good at profile writing. I guess I don't know how to show sarcasm in writing without making it look wrong, I'll tone that back too.

I had a great convo with a girl, around 10 message, I felt we made progress and then when I went for the offsite talking via text she said,"no thanks" I should feel kinda sad or mad or something but I feel....relived....Just knowing im not as bad as that nice guy thread makes me smile lol so rejection isn't so bad.
