Lost-n-confused Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) Ok I have two okcupid profiles. They are completely different. First my profile that everyone here helped me with. http://www.okcupid.com/profile/jetpilot85 it's not a bad profile.. I went on a date with a girl who just looked at my profile photo... We didn't click.. Anyways I get about 2-3 messages or winks per week from this account and women general reply but never seem too interested. Now I got a bit angry with online dating and made up a profile that I felt is truly me. http://www.okcupid.com/profile/not_trying Now with this profile I get 5-10 messges or winks each week. Girls seem very interested in who I am. I got an email from a flag mod on okcupid because someone flagged me. The freaking flag staff gave me kudos for my profile. I get emails from people telling me they love my profile and just had to tell me. Now I currently have two prospects I'm dating and have not been responding or messaging any girls to see if It goes any where. Just thought I'd share this with my firends on LS.

Yukikazi Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 When was the last time you tried to find a date in the real world?
temple Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 I've never tried online dating so I don't know what does and doesn't work but...your second profile scared me!
boogieboy Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Hey if you got more responses with the second one great, but damn you come off angry. Think about what kind of women you will attract with an angry profile...
OpenGL Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 The amount of winks/emails you get has absolutely nothing to do with your profile or the content of your emails you send. The only thing that matters is your pics, height, and race. You even admit yourself the women you went out with only looked at your pics.
alphamale Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 so basically your mad-at-the-world profile works better?
Author Lost-n-confused Posted January 8, 2010 Author Posted January 8, 2010 The two women I'm dating I met through a firend and at a party. The girl who only went out with me and never read my profile saw my first niceguy profile. Btw I love my favorite stuff animal. I don't care what anyone thinks!
Star Gazer Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 I would never in a million years even click on the shirtless profile to read what it said. But if I had, I'd be repulsed. The first profile is the perfect example of the type of profile I went for when OD, although the narrative was perhaps a bit more interesting and left out the stuffed animal. (Seriously, take that off. )
OpenGL Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Think about what kind of women you will attract with an angry profile... Uh, women don't read the profiles they only look at the pics. He could put in there he molest 8 year old boys and he'd get the same amount of responses.
Johnny M Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 What makes the first profile terrible is the fact that it's so generic. Imagine a movie that was directed by committee. It would include every conceivable Hollywood cliche while at the same time trying to appeal to every demographic group out there. As a result, it would be boring and lame. That's what happened to your first profile. By incorporating everyone's suggestions, you made a profile that is the equivalent of a cookie-cutter B-movie. Totally unoriginal and nearly identical to thousands to other profiles out there. The second profile invokes stronger reactions (both positive and negative) because of it's confrontational tone. Some girls will like it, other will conclude that you're a "creep". But hey, pleasing some while offending others is still better than please and offending nobody.
OpenGL Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 I would never in a million years even click on the shirtless profile to read what it said. But if I had, I'd be repulsed. First off, I don't believe you. Second off, he'll get more numbers with the 2nd profile. And we all know online dating (and even real life dating) is a numbers game.
DustySaltus Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 So between these two profiles you're either going to attract a nun or someone with an STD...how about somewhere in the middle?
Star Gazer Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 First off, I don't believe you. Second off, he'll get more numbers with the 2nd profile. And we all know online dating (and even real life dating) is a numbers game. I don't care if you don't believe me, but it's true. My BF's profile was a lot like the first one. I literally said EWWWWWWWWWWWW when I'd see shirtless profiles, or profiles with the langauge he chose.
temple Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 So between these two profiles you're either going to attract a nun or someone with an STD...how about somewhere in the middle? A nun with an STD?
Author Lost-n-confused Posted January 8, 2010 Author Posted January 8, 2010 A nun with an STD? Lmao......
BackUpOrGetStung Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 OpenGL, I just went through your previous posts and you seem to be stuck on the same thing. The reason no girl wants to date you, or talk to you or be associated with you is not because you are 5'7. It's because you are angry, bitter, jaded and obnoxious, and those are all monumentally, unattractive qualities. You don't sound like you know the meaning of the word fun or happy and women like to be happy and have fun. Why don't you try to cheer up and accentuate your good qualities, rather than griping about why no one likes you?

Do you really think guys like me start off jaded? Of course not, there is a reason we just jaded in the first place. I have already discussed the subject here: http://www.loveshack.org/forums/t203485/
dreamergrl Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Ummm why would posting a shirtless picture get someone to know you deeper? No offense, but even if I did go for shirtless pictures (which I don't), that one is not a good one. Shirtless photos are not attractive no matter what though. You claim you are trying to be unique, but the only unique thing I saw was about the stuffed animal, and that's not unique in a good way.
