Online Dating - Anyone tried/willing to share experiences and/or tips?

**Headspace** · 2010-10-06 19:31

I've really only had a conversation with one chick on okcupid since i've joined. She messaged me first last week and we've just been bullshitting through messages since. Haven't tried to meet up at all, not sure how to play it, but it's whatev. But this area kinda sucks for okcupid, not many chicks and not many new ones join and my views per week at a staggering 1 lol

All in less than one week, lol

I'd assume that gays would have a slightly easier time on these dating websites, 187 is a shit ton though.

Clearly all gay men want serious relationships, and not sex, thats why theyre gay.

God, i love okcupid quickmatch button. That shit is the most uber fucking awesome button ever. I spent like 3 hours just to spam quickmatch button and see them bitches.

Just be like hey, if I'm being honest I'd love to continue this conversation in person, maybe just some drinks at blahblah (or go off any interests that have in profile, like hookah, coffee, whatever). I'm batting 1.000 when I go that route so far (of course only 5/5, but still). Few messages of convo, maybe talk in IMs a little bit, then ask. Don't dick around.

I've had cool/cute/interesting chicks message me, but the best have been me messaging first. The best chicks just get too many messages for the most part to send out their own. Just depends though.

Oh and don't talk about loving women or sex in your profile.

And yea, answering questions publicly and doing shit like that will get you profile visits, although visits alone are worthless.

I used gk2gk.com. Met the love of my life on there

New blog entry from Okcupid on the gays. Pretty interesting:

Glad I wasn't the only one who thought this.

First of all, gay sexuality is not a threat.
Gay people are not sexually interested in straights.

lol?

98% of gay people have had 20 or fewer partners (vs. 99% for straights)

Wow. I'm a whore.

Somehow I'm not surprised at the massive amount of blue on Alabama and Mississippi.

Yeah I thought the same thing. That shit can't possibly be right.

The data they get isn't exactly trustworthy since people are trying to impress the opposite (or same) sex. Maybe people think reporting 20+ will make them look bad to the people they're trying to impress? I seriously doubt that the stat is correct. In fact, all of the data taken in the entire blog is untrustworthy partially for this reason.

Most of that date isn't accessible to the general population though Woozie - it's just for making matches, there's no reason to lie in the "match questions" part.

That being said if I did answer the "sex partners" question, I'd be under 20 too since I haven't answered questions in like 3+ years.

Bumping for hilarious new OKtrends blog post. There's been a few since this thread was last updated but this has to be one of their funnier posts.

I haven't gotten any replies back yet from okcupid. Then again I haven't visited the site for about a few months. I've tried match.com same results. Not sure if online dating is for me.

**Conrad** · 2011-02-10 17:31

I don't get replies either, nor do I get messages out of the blue. I think this website is a crock.

**Moss** · 2011-02-10 18:30

wtf is this shit, ZERO messages for me

I mean I haven't ever been to the site but still
