Okcupid profile

I was on Okcupid for like a day and had my picture on there, a whole bunch of guys messaged me, some really (sorry) weird looking people like Borat and some really nice looking guys.

I had one fun conversation with one guy, he was not my type in any possible way but I enjoyed talking to him. He asked me on a scale of 1 to 10, how crazy are you? and 10 is Bipolar, then he said nothing more impressive than a girl who knows what she wants and is not afraid to say it. (I had chosen the option - don’t have kids and don’t want them).

Long story short, I got at least 500 likes and some nice compliments. A lot of guys just asked me if they would like to meet me for drinks, I guess that’s what people do. Meet for drinks and spend the night.

Not me, in a million years.

There was one guy I won’t forget, he was wearing heels, and he had long hair :flushed:

My profile was something like this…

28, straight, city, Caucasian.

I am a freelance graphic and makeup artist.
Friday nights I am hanging out with a few friends and having a few glasses of chardonnay.

I can not live without my iMac, music, coffee, iPhone etc

Music list (lounge remixes and some DJ’s) I don’t watch TV. I don’t read books.

That was all I can remember. So I don’t think people care much about your profiles. It is just the first few steps to get a girl on a date with you and once you go on a date, it’s easy to have a proper conversation.

and another guy asked me if I had a place to have sex.

wow, that’s great you had such a powerful response !! you must be a pretty one to get that many men chasing you at the same time…hold out and thoroughly interview your hopes in a man with who you come across and be careful…keep your creepy meter high.

I think all women really get a lot of attention, I don’t understand why some of my single girlfriends cannot find anybody. :thinking:

They don’t have any MI or any problems. And they are very beautiful. I know two really stunning women who can not find any guys. Really bizarre!

I just got completely overwhelmed by mine. I had really no way of distinguishing what sort of guy I liked because there were so many who seemed like good fits for me…maybe I should try again and be more discerning…I dunno…I stopped going on it after just a couple days. Sorry to all the guys I was talking to and then vanished on :disappointed:

I know for me a lot of people question why I’m single and end up assuming I’m gay or something when in reality I’m just too shy to approach guys and I’m not into the guys who approach me because they’re usually very cocky and/or players. The guys I am into are too shy/nervous to approach me. So it’s just rough. I’m gonna die alone surrounded by furry animals.

People still do this? What do you mean by this? Cheat on you or just wants to have sex?
If you go on a date with a guy, it does not mean you will marry him. If you think he is a player or whatever, never talk to him again. You don’t owe anybody any explanation.

I think people are very open nowadays about what they want. Most guys have listed ā€˜open relationship’ on their profiles, depending on your age group.

Make it simple, create a targeted profile for what you are looking for. I think most guys are not shy.

A lot of men these days are still very shy. Well maybe I can only speak for myself. But I hardly ever approach a woman. I just never know what so say.

If you are talking to me, why do you fear rejection?

It is a part of life. Not everyone will like you. It is better to try than never.

You know the typical ā€œladies’ manā€? Otherwise known as a tool, or other less savory names. Basically guys who are really just looking for sex/a hookup and hoping that you are either the same or naieve enough to be tricked into it anyways.

I’m talking about in-person in that last post. I only just recently checked out online dating. But like I said there’s far too many options there to where I get overwhelmed. I have to be pickier.

If you go on cheap dates (for coffee) only, it won’t be a problem to go on 150 dates.

So basically, you assume that all men who approach you are players and just want sex. It is the same with selene’s friends probably. They are judgmental and formed an opinion of the men just because they are more friendly.

No I do not…I have a good judge of character and can clearly distinguish guys who are slimeballs from guys who are genuine.

You’re the one leaping to judge here…

Look at what you stated above again.

Ive just been dissapointed a lot and haven’t felt it healthy to try. Its bound to happen but I don’t find myself mentally fit to play the game i have to play to get a relationship. Everytime I’ve tried I’ve found that the expectation other people want from me is more then I can handle.
