Barnacle-Bob Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 try contacting the ones without pics. You might be surprised. They aren't looking for strokes... I only have a cumulative 3-4 months of OLD experience, but I completely changed my approach in that time. The only girl that I ever met from OLD who was worthwhile was when I had a profile where the only pic I had up was a photoshopped pic of my buddy wearing a Jambi had attached to the body of a Persian cat. I don't remember the text of the profile, but it was pretty funny and there wasn't one single item that was even remotely serious. I had it up for a week, met a cool girl that I'm still friends with, and she was actually attractive, successful and normal. Normal, run-of-the-mill profiles suck. And RR, to build on your point, girls who do OLD tend to way overdo it, and the astute reader like myself can easily piece together the bat-s**tness of a girls personality when thet decide to write a dissertation for their profile. Keep it light so you don't let your slip show.
CryForNoOne Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 non much worse than her 10 it's the same exact list minus the platitudes...
creighton0123 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 And do you know who my top 3 matches are on OKC within 100 mile radius? 1. My ex that I lived with (who I didn't meet online) 2. My FWB turned friend turned nothing that I just started a thread about 3. My other friend that I knew for 9 years and never felt any sexual spark towards (also didn't meet him online) So yeah.. Yeah. OLD is much better in and around a big city. I have had three boyfriends over the past ten years from OLD. I've also had two boyfriends I met in person without OLD. Right now, I'm in the OLD phase again, but feel as though my proximity to Boston makes it so I will practically never extinguish credible matches. There are quite literally hundreds and hundreds of 80%+ OkCupid matches for me to sort through. My policy: pick ten. Date all ten casually and then reduce it to one. I had ten (9 on okCupid + 1 introduced through a family friend). I'm now down to 3. If those three don't work out, I'll get ten more ;-)
PogoStick Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Since I have met most OLD men in 100 radius of my town, my conclusion is that I need to move. :waiting for Star to hit me with something: Or one of us could move to you! 1/2 way?
