How many of you are on OKcupid?

I think they do get type rolled as the comic relief guy or girl in movies.

I've noticed a few fat guys are very fussy about having a slim girl. *shrugs* As bad as it sounds, everyone has a limit. I think a little fat is cute.

Fussiness and greediness, yes, definitely. That's why if I'm eating cake, I get a couple of proper evil glares from women. That's the good thing about men, if you do something wrong they don't scold you like a woman. In fact, they rarely scold.

As far as the video goes, she wasn't only fat - she was repulsively ugly (hard to do with stick figures.) Other than that, it's a one-trick pony.

I was just going for a few yuks, not a lively debate... it's actually been quite interesting.

She was also huge, as in tall. Maybe after his first two terrible results, he was too scared to risk anything with a giant

• I'm on there (just one of me - you did ask how many).
• Working for me? Oh, pretty abysmal ...
• but, that being said, works for me about ten times better than any other matchmaking/"dating" site I've every used or tried, so, ... in otherwords, best such site I've found thus far ... and by a long shot.

I honestly don't understand why men seem to be so put off by height. Models are tall!
It's like every inch you grow as a woman your dating pool shrinks. Sorry for the ot, the word "giant" just strikes a nerve with me because it can be a struggle to be seen as feminine if you're tall and strong.

The judgement on being (having) fat changes depending on gender and culture. People are people, body size isn't a huge factor of personality in my experience.

That video...if it's satire of the kind of hyperbole some guys use when describing dating,I think it's quite good.
If it's not I think it itself is a piece of silly hyperbole, I make way more than my S.O.,and Belle knew the beast was rich while she still hated him and only changed her mind when he started acting right.

It's not just the men that prefer a woman be shorter than them, ask a lot of women they'd rather their men be taller.
Every inch we don't have, our dating pool shrinks, too. Take that as you will!

Totally agree!
I was just talking about my experience, which is of a tall woman, not a short man.
It bugs me more I think because being my height is what's portrayed as beautiful in ads and fashion spreads and in real life I'm "nice to look at" but I'm too intimidating to date. I'm hot, but I'm not a girlfriend.

At 6'4" it seems most OKcupid messages are from gals almost as tall as me. I kinda' like the idea of being able to hug & smooch someone without the need of a stepladder.

One gal, however, was an inch taller than me... and three times wider. Like the biggun' in the silly cartoon, she was shaped like Ronald McDonald's pal, Grimace. I enjoyed her company and the potential was there - I tried very hard to make it work (after all, I'm not exactly skinny or mister muscles.) In the end, I just couldn't get turned on by so much fat... Zero chemistry... the few kisses shared felt like kissing plastic.

and we also have somewhere else where inches count.

I am, and its my first dating site I suck at it, I can not small talk on it, or anything and no one really seems intrested.

I am, but since I live in redneck country all I find are hicks.

Okc is amazing. I actually met like 3 out of my last three boyfriends there. Plus a variety of other guys and girls I have gone out with.
Online dating does take a bit of work, although I do think its the better and cheaper alternative to actually going out all these different places to meet people with similar interests.
Check out the forums there, at the very least you can laugh at some people.

This is hilarious... one gal who's been talking to me lately turned out to be a friend-of-a-friend! My friend was over for dinner and movies and I showed her the profile of this mysterious woman chatting with me and she squealed, "That's my friend xxxx!" If timing had worked out better we all could have gone to dinner together!

Still not sure if I find her attractive, but it's definitely nice to have an advocate who can vouch for the good nature of each of us.


... small world.... small world....

The forums are mentioned again...where are these forums?? I can't see them, didn't know they existed.
