Okay Ill bite. I the first paragraph you describe yourself as a "socially-awkward well-meaning jackass who is always a day late and a dollar short" and then say that you fully accept your "flaws". You then use the concept of an "evil double" which is kinda interesting but a bit sinister. In the next paragraph under "What I am trying to do with my life" you say that you are "Trying not to die".
Now if I were a potential hottie looking through your profile I would already be depressed. There are too many negative images and negative personality traits spat out in a short space of time. Start talking about this positive aspects of your personality in a positive way.
Be a little more creative and interesting. You can say all sorts of meaningless bullshit as long as it makes the person reading it feel happy. You use phrases such as "dying in my sleep ", "mental illness", "miserable", "I probably have to either shoot myself without dying, or engage him in a battle of wills within my mind". The whole evil twin is a good idea but it would be better if it was more light-hearted. I appreciate that you are going for evil and sinister but you arent going to get anything good from that.
What makes you awesome? What makes you better than anyone else? Why should someone reading your profile take the time to message you?
I cant tell whether Im being trolled
Well, considering my life consists of a vicious duel between my evil double and I, I think my life is already more exciting than most people's.
Besides, I thought people wanted honesty. I'm mostly honest in there, subtext yo.
You might be getting trolled
I'm not looking for a relationship or whatever. I'm just having fun with the site, I just wanted to have conversations and shit, that's pretty much it. Why not go all out crazy on your profile?
Oh I was just asking in general. I'm not worried about it.

Oh in that case I have no idea. Do people even clone cellphones anymore?
Not sure. Devo mentioned phishing scams and outside of email collecting, trying to clone or crack a cell phone seems the only other thing they could try to get.

I dunno some ask for phone numbers too. Or tell the person to call a specific number which I would consider a big red flag right off the bat.
This. The play by play IS getting a bit annoying.

She wants you to impregnate her for the ritual summoning of Cthulhu. It's all good. Get in there and smang it and bring about the fall of man.

Had a really good date/meetup today. Well, much better than the first girl I met up with. She seemed really fun to hang out with and our sense of humor was nearly identical. I don't know what she thinks about me and I dont even know what I think of her. She had 1-2 hrs before she worked so I took to a park with a really nice view overlooking the city. We just had a good conversation and headed back. Nothing too special but it was good for a first meetup.
We'll prolly hang out another week. Not sure if we should get food or do something more interactive, like the beach. Decisions, decisions...

For those that you message, what was the average response time for those that replied back? Did anyone get any immediate responses? Did it take a week? A month?
I don't get this... started messaging this local girl about a week ago. We've been sending a message back and forth every day (only 1 a day). The messages were getting longer and longer. We had a lot to say and asked each other questions, etc... Things were going well... Then all of a sudden without notice she disappears and either disables her profile/deletes her account.
WTF....

Probably was going on dates with someone else while you guys were still in the messaging phase. Always assume the girl you are talking to is talking to multiple other guys.
A few days at most. If its longer than that they probably aren't interested.

Decided to reactivate my account for a second to see if my area's OKC selection of girls has improved.
Short answer: Nope. lol
The good news is that there are plenty of desirable women in my area if I just go outside and head downtown. And I'm planning on doing that ASAP.

What's the difference between your area and downtown?
So many... single straight males have visited my profiles today.

I live on the outskirts of Greenville county and within Greenville county is the relatively small city of Greenville (a.k.a. downtown Greenville).
Out where I live there are either:
-families with kids
-old people
-rednecks
-and very religious people (this category can encompass those other 3 categories)
So the dating scene is very sparse out here.
And the girls that are on OKC in my area are either morbidly obese, insanely religious, flat out insane, dumb as a rock, fugly, or look somewhat inbred. And sometimes these 6 categories are not mutually exclusive.
But when I drive about 15 to 20 minutes to downtown Greenville I see a much larger variety of women. Some are absolutely beautiful and appear to be much more sophisticated and cultured.
So what I've derived from these experiences is that all the women that I am attracted to physically and mentally are not hanging out on OKC because OKC, in my area, is for people who don't like to go where all the happy, beautiful, sane, and sun loving people are.

So, going out with a girl on Tuesday and don't really know what to do >.<
Anyone got any first date ideas? I think it'll be late afternoon/early evening time. Doesn't really help I don't know the city where she lives all that well.
EDIT: Nevermind, we're going to get coffee. I don't know if that's all or not. Any ideas on what to do after if it goes well?

I gotta say, I'm having zero luck on this site at all. Like, it's almost like a bad joke. Maybe I'm just not the kind of guy cut out for online dating?

So fat I've met two girls and webcammed with one. First girl was a dud, second one is interesting. Going on my third week, I can't say I like the idea of online dating, but it is helping me become more confident. I dont expect to find someone to actually date though-- seems like a lot of girls are crazy.
My dating inexperience is starting to kick in. I have ideas for my next meetup but I keep questioning myself. Maybe because I don't really see myself with this girl. I always think long-term, I dont really like the idea of short-term relationships
At bar. This is going like shit. I'm doing nothing for the first time.
And now her friends are worried about me suk.
Update at the end please.

Well, she were angry at me because I'm still kissing with her gay friend and her girl friend. I guess I took the "show her that you're also interested in her friends" to the extreme, how stupid can I be..
But we talked and I told her it won't happen again. She said that last night I "pushed" (more like, letting her dance with another guy at disco instead of dancing with her) her to another guy who were touching her everywhere, but I really don't remember that, but I also drank 10 shots.
I have to control my drinking, it's just hard, as I get a high amount of anxiety when I haven't been drinking anything as I'm not used to being socially involved. But next time, I'll try not drinking any alcohol at all, only water but I know my social phobia will come back and that my anxiety will sky rocket.
I have been drinking ONE time before in my life and that was in 2008, before that I had never been drinking. And now, it's like I'm using it as somekind of medicine, I have to control myself or at least find a balance so I can calm my anxiety.
I'm doing everything right, besides the drinking.
Today I were a wreck because the alcohol didn't work and I sat there in the corner by myself on the phone and pretending I sang along. I didn't enjoy it as much as I should last night.

Anastacio, I think you need to take a break from seeing this girl and her friends and get yourself sorted out.

Okay.
Just updated my profile to mention that, while I have seen MLP:FIM, I'm not a hardcore Brony or anything.
Hopefully now more women talk to me.

I updated my profile as well, to reflect my current state and the way things stand with my double.

My fingers feel sleazy while typing that.
Nah I have talked with one and I just need to find a balance and not drink as much. I'll try change it this week. It's not like I'm addicted, it's only because it's new situations, I just need to become more calm. no worries.
In fact I'm happy I'm testing myself out and trying to beat my worries. I have had a whole lot of successes this past week and when i stop drinking this week it's another success. I'm not addicted, it's just that all these things are new to me but I enjoy challenging myself.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
I just signed up for this thing. So if I visit people's pages it sends an email to them about it? Yikes.
Yup, no creepy stalking without the other person knowing.
(I think you can turn that feature off but then you won't know if people check out your profile.)
I was surprised that it seems like you can turn it on and off at will with no consequences. So see a chick and don't want her to know you are looking? Switch your settings and then switch back after. Maybe I'm wrong.
I have a browser extension that allows me to hover over any icon or image url and show me the full image link in-line. Works on everything from Facebook to OKC profile thumbnails.
So, I've been casually chatting to a girl I met online and she asked if I wanted to hang out with her and her friends on Saturday at some party. The thing is, I'm pretty sure I just want to be friends with her. She seems nice but she's not really my type. It's basically a date though. I'd like to hang out but just as friends. Should I not go or go and just be friendly?
