Lately I feel the match percentage is just a troll. I've looked thoroughly through profiles of 50% like questions and their essays and they actually seem like a great match so I'll message them. Occasionally I'll make a joke about the out of whack percent.
You see more good looking women on the FB style Activity wall. It hides unattractive women.
It's okay. Nothing particularly sticks out so it's pretty dry. Not that it matters any way since girls will always look at pictures first, profile second. I'll give you points for making it easy to read but I can't get a sense of who you are. Also rated you.
Yeah its really hard to be funny in these things. In real life I'd like to think i'm a pretty funny person, but most of that is from playing off social dynamic and timing when I spout off a comment.
Sweet Jesus...
). I seem to get compliments from a few girls about it though (and girls that I actually am very interested in, more importantly). Also seems like I have enough in there to promote other girls messaging me (get lots of comments about the alpaca/sloth thing, the unique rabbit, etc.). So to some degree, I kind of would prefer keeping it more or less like that. I have had the most success with OKC with that profile, but doesn't mean I can't do better (and maybe just means my earlier profiles were really bad).Wow, almost had weird Twilight Zone moment (especially after Kainazzo's post)!
There was one girl I hadn't messaged to in a while (we talked off and on for a few weeks). I messaged her this weekend, telling her about Meetup.com. She's new to the area, and I figured she might enjoy it.
Turns out that she already checked it out, and she alerted me about an event/group I missed! We talk about it some, and we both decide we would like to attend them together, so we can have a "buddy" to go with to make things easier (neither one of us have been to one yet). She doesn't want a relationship right now BTW, which I'm OK with (I prefer that myself). But looks like I'll be hanging out with her and some other cool people soon! As Kainazzo said, I think Meetups seem like a good thing, especially combined with OKC and other resources. Wish I had checked it out long ago!
So more weird stuff...
I look for the group/event the girl was telling me about. I think I find it, but I start looking at the members to see if she's signed up for it just to make sure (I know her name, what she looks like, etc.). I find her...and I find someone else that I recently messaged by sheer coincidence (though she's not been online much recently...so hasn't responded yet...or that's what I tell myself
And it got really weird for a second, because she almost sounded like the girl Kainazzo was describing. Though don't think they're the same person (profiles don't seem to match up). Though even if it is, no biggie. Maybe we can all hang out together!
I guess if anyone cares, here's my Meetup profile (and the groups I'm with):

I'll probably be joining other groups over the next week or so. If you guys know of any good groups that fit my interests, I'd love to hear them too.
How long are you out there until? I was thinking we could grab a drink one evening when you're back.I'm in the top 96th percentile of male height in the US. I contribute my success on okcupid to that more than anything else. Girls are incredibly shallow when it comes to height so when you've got it going for you it's like shooting fish in a barrel.
My brother just asked for a girl's number yesterday after 25 exchanges. On my old OKC account, I went something like 20 exchanges with 2 girls one of which led to a disappointing date; the other which led nowhere after dozens of texts and 2 weeks of not talking.
The idea sounds preposterous to be frank. You're suggesting that GAF members pose as you and send messages in your stead? I knkw you're being sarcastic but like the rest of us, you must struggle. What type of messages did you send out? Maybe it must've been the content of your profile.
Instant hide when I see this crap.Chick on OkCupid said:
Shit, I'm talking with the most perfect girl ever... she lives far away but wants to meet in person next month. I really hope I don't screw this up... If this works I think I'll stop looking to other women for the rest of my days, she is that good.
Probably I'll screw it up, as always
and
I was actually being serious. I think it'd be kind of interesting to see how far I could get if I was me but wasn't me. Y'know?
Too late!I know, I always do the same, I get all excited, mess it all up and stay depressed for weeks
But no negative thoughts! No negative thoughts!
Yeah. I sent a polite "How was your weekend" mail. This is on Match.com so it is a little different than OKC.
What kind of messages do you send? I'm far from successful myself. I've only been on dates with 2 different girls from OKC and talkin to a 3rd one after being on it for months.
