Stop shitting on my team. Start shitting on my finger.
How do you find those numbers?

MAGIC

Nah if you set the attractiveness filter you'll see an order of numbers in the url that goes something like "25,8000,10000"

where the 8000 and 10000 are the borders of the ratings. (it actually only goes to 9000 but fuck it i didn't write the website)

so if you want to find someone's exact rating you increase the first number (e.g. "25,8500,10000" until the person doesn't show up in your matches anymore. then narrow it down that way until you find the exact cutoff point. at 9000 nobody will show up anymore, so if they show up at 8999 that's the max you can get. No idea how exactly the rating is calculated (e.g. if it takes the mean, or the median, or whatever), but that's how you fine-tune it. I think I was somewhere around 6-7000 or so last time I checked

94% match? Linky-link your account to me? I'm curious (you can PM.. or send an OKC message!)




The overachieving side of me is wondering what happened to that other 1,001. RAWR. But thanks, I'm surprised. I figured not being single would drop me by a bit.

Also, I'm a huge bitch in my questions so lol people are being shallow about my profile, I guess :x

Can you re-judge my profile?

A girl actually started talking to me after I made the changes last night. I'm KCGrizz. Haven't changed any picture stuff yet.

Done! Check your messages.


UPDATE YOUR PHOTOOOOO T___T

hate u

Honestly, I wouldn't message someone if they had a picture like yours, but I know you were looking for something... specific. Also, I don't have anyone to take pictures of me, so I'm not sure what to do about that. Asking my roommate would be awkward as fuck.

fyi I use my glasses to hide the odd positioning and cracked-out look my eyes tend to have

No, 8999 is literally the max. There is nobody on OKC with 9000+ :lol

So.... You can feel happy now. :p

I started messaging this girl on tinder last night. After a few messages and asking about some of her travel photos, she reveals one of her travel pics is almost 5 years old. I have nothing against picking photos you like to show off your various interests, but you need at least one recent photo that should show what you currently look like. All of this particlar girl's photos appeared to be pretty old from what I could gather. I've been misled with extreme angle treatment before on okc, but very old photos can be used for a similar purpose.

Find out my ratings! Same name as on GAF. You can criticize my profile if y'all want cause I'm kinda in a don't give a fuk mode right now.

No. I just aint no fool. People are more nuanced than descriptive questions. You take the answers with a grain of salt because most answers are very context based.

Well yeah, that's what talking is for! I only use the questions to find out the important stuff: religious views, political stance, etc.

I've checked a few ratings and most of them had the form X999. I also saw people in two disjointed intervals. I don't think you can get very accurate rating with this method. I will experiment more later!

Just came back from my first date from Tinder (obviously no sex, but I knew it anyways by speaking with the girl) and I had a great time. I think she had a good one too. Good fun, good (and always) flowing conversations. Cute, mature and smart girl. Problem is, she just didn't click. She actually didn't click at all. I felt she could have been my sister or a really good friend.

And because of that, I think I'm gonna put much less effort in online dating. The girls I usually ask out are the ones who I sincerely know I'm, at least physically, attracted to before the date.

Sent my intro to a chick on POF. Her reply was:

"You're not my type. I don't date short chubby black guys with kids."

...she's 5' 4". After I had a chuckle, I replied, "wow, aren't you narrow minded? Good luck with that attitude on here," and blocked her.

You should have sent your mother a message only containing a " ;-) "

I have slept with a few from these sites. :) What's wierding me out is that i am stumbling across girls on tinder that i spoke to a few years back on POF OKC. I am now thinking of how I can use this to my advantage.... all i can remeber is she went a bit wild on holiday
 
Okc or Pof which one do you guys/girls prefer? i keep hearing that PoF has an alarming rate of catfishes, granted you can encounter that anywhere.

Yes, POF has a lot of fake profiles, but they're really easy to catch. I actually prefer POF because of the higher number of users. That, and there's a large number of crossover members too.

No, no, we only talked. For about 3 hours. She's batshit.

Match % isn't tht number right? My ex was 97 (not that it mattered). It's unrelated to the other number... And oh man, really GabDX? 3000 only? :mad:

I'm not sure you should share Gab's rating unless he/she doesn't mind.

So after ranting last night about this online stuff, I've since been able to string a date with someone on OKC, another on Tinder, and I finally matched with someone on CoB and we're currently chatting atm. This is weird.

I installed PoF but haven't set up a profile yet. For someone that wants to use less online, I sure do use a lot of dating apps lol.

Don't get into the habit of using only online dating as your only way to meet women, like I did. Try some offline activities!

That's his rating, not mine. I told him via pm.

I'm probably around 1000.

My own rating, not his. I'm sure everyone is doing better than me.

Ahh my bad! Well mines was what 7000? And it's not like I am doing much better.

Oh trust me, I don't rely on online dating at all. It's been for convenience sake but I still like trying to pick up offline. ;)

I'm finally using PoF and I think it's pretty cluttering compared to Tinder or even OKC. Is there a Like type option or is that pretty much what that Meet Me thingy is?

In other news, I called up a girl apologizing about wanting to postpone a date tomorrow night because I forgot I already had plans to watch a ball game with a buddy. I figure it would be better to save face to call rather than to text. She said she understands and that we can plan something for next week. Let's see if it actually happens lol. Oopsie!

Last I checked, most girls don't pay attention to Meet Me at all.

Oh, ITT, we require cliffnotes when GAFfers talk to Primary School teachers.

It was one of the most bizarre experiences I've ever had on the phone.

She basically spent three hours opening her heart and going on about how guys only wanted her for sex, and how tired she was of being used as a fucktoy by dudes who would drop her like a stone right after the deed. Not now, though, because she has learned to love herself. Queue two good hours of sobbering and soul sucking stories.

Then she straight up shuts the door on my face saying that she knows that I'm seeing other girls and that she's not anybody's consolation prize... only to finish the conversation by saying that she's a grown ass girl capable of making the distinction between sex and love, so if I stop seeing other girls and feel like rubbing nasties with her, I can give her a call and see what happens.

All of this through WhatsApp messages. It was basically a huge ass, rambling monologue.

She's crazier than a bag of wet cats.
 
So I went out with a girl from OKC last night, whom I previously went out with once before. After a disastrous first date, I was thankfully given a second chance and last night was pretty much what the first date should have been. She's an awesome girl and I'm glad I was able to get that second chance.
