LookAtThisPOst Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 OK Stupid stinks. It pulls up a rather small number of people so I wind up cliking on profiles in the margins Most that turn up in my search look like overweight, mouth-breathing trailer trash. There would be an occasional cute woman, but she never replies and those are probably holding out on some unattainable standard, regardless of her geographic undesirability. 1
hakim Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 I think the trick with OLD is to keep an open mind and have no expectations. Or at least very low. Also, check your standards! I've dated men I met in real life I probably would not have given attention to in OLD...I think to people tend to blow up their standards out of proportion when OLDing. Definitely. I think most people go OLD sites to find their "perfect" match. In other words they'll have tunnel vision. It's kind of sad but also kind of understandable, I go on OLD sites expecting to find Miss. Perfect too, and I might end up avoid girls I would go for in real life.

The only girls who make moves on me are the, what you call, tralier trash and rather large. I did get hold of a rather cute girl who was good at responding and open to exchanging numbers, but she lives in the middle of nowhere, so I've kind of given up that.
hakim Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 This is basically like 95% of my experience with OKC. I see a girl I might like, send out a cleverly crafted first message (or sometimes a simple one like hi how are you) and get nothing in response. Welcome to OKC, land of the flakey people just looking for an ego boost. It's understandable that you're somewhat frustrated with girls not answering your "cleverly crafted" first messages ... it happens to me to But "Hi how are you" texts will 100% get ignored. Girls get hundreds of likes/messages a day on OLD sites ... I made a fake account with an average looking girl just out of curiosity/experiment, and it got 60 messages(!!). I agree with most people here, OLD is a waste of time. I tried it out because I had never tried it out before, but it does seem people are purely on it for ego strokes.

Right...the last woman who agreed to meet me on OK Cupid stated that she only did so because we had met a couple years ago at her friends B-day party...and she figured if I was good friends with her friend, that was pretty much the reason she went out with me...otherwise she told me she hasn't really met many men (except a couple that she also happened to know in real life that bumped into on OK Cupid)...and just is really looking around or wasn't really thrilled with the men in general. She just made a face of disgust when I brought about her having ever met any men on there. Most she usually ignores or was on there for the sake of curiosity. She wasn't impressed either as she lives in a town she's not too crazy about with a bunch of slack jawed, uneducated red necks.
Candygirljane Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) It's just funny, okcupid was my main site and my message storage's full now, so I took my pics down. I met the perfect dreamy man on Tinder, even though I have only met up with one guy on Tinder and oh ya I got it. he doesn't want me to see someone else and I will get busy after the summer, so I might will take those sites down if the thing goes well Edited August 4, 2015 by Candygirljane
oberkeat Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 I was not meeting high quality women online. All the girls I met seemed to be the bottom of the barrel. They all had baggage of some sort that was keeping them single (overweight, emotional issues, flakes). I was dropping my standards a ton just because it was *somewhat* easy to get dates, going out with women I would have never have considered dating had I met them IRL. After the last girl I set up a date with flaked, I was over and done with OLD forever. It made me realize that most girls who are really worth dating don't need OLD. I think if us guys got up the nerve and started asking out more women in the real world, we might be surprised with the quality of women who would agree to date us.
impatiently_patient Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 hhahaha What is the difference between a fantastic guy (knight in shining armor) and a geek? Simple answer - confidence! that's it. (tweaked up possibly with a gym membership and contact lenses! lol) Of course obtaining a bit of confidence for a geek is far easier said than done! Pretty sure you don't get what a geek is. Vin Diesel, for instance, is a geek.
