I am gimmikk on okcupid btw, if anyone's interested

Oh and don't bother telling me my photo is bad - I'm not really using the site anymore but left the profile up anyway, so I'm ok with my picture not exactly attracting teh ladiez :P

I've messaged people in the 60's and 70's. I'm most interested in a well-written, thought out, non-generic profile, much more so than the questions. It's surprisingly rare to find originality, in my opinion.

Along with that, I should feel at least some attraction to the pictures. If they seem worth getting to know as a friend, I'll message - have had some nice conversations but never leads to anything. I don't think I've ever come across anyone who I instantly think, "potential mate."

hyperlexian, here's mine for your husband:
68% Match
73% Friend
31% Enemy

Laz's ex:
53% Match
76% Friend
31% Enemy

Laz:
68% Match
76% Friend
28% Enemy

I'm slinky_inky if anyone wants to see - I don't have anything loaded on my profile, though. I just answered questions to see what my percentages would be with you all. This is addictive. I'm sucking at finding all your usernames in the thread though. :(

I only signed up to check the compatibility thingy with a few menbers but lately Ive found quite a few interesting users so Im probably going to give it a go and send a few messages by this afternoon. The bad thing is theres only one active female near me but Ill give it a go, I usually enjoy emailing and getting to know people online and my guess ius that this is somehow similar.

Plenty of Fish with that new goddamn "Meet Me" feature embarrased me to buggery :x

They have match scores there and my biggest match is the guy I had a few lunch dates with earlier in the year :? (the guy who thought there was something wrong with me because I didn't have three kids to different dads like every other girl in town)

If that guy's after women like that he should come to Stevenage, we have plenty of single parent teenage mother slags on offer here.

between me and happymusic - i'm navs85,
57% Match 70% Friend 32% Enemy

I'm still retaking the questions to bring my more conservative/more sloppy personality traits down. both of them are deal killers in a relationship, yes I know, be yourself but not in hyperliberal NorCal...

Volodja: 93% Match 55% Friend 1% Enemy
Moog: 85% Match 89% Friend 2% Enemy
greenturtle74: 81% Match 64% Friend 15% Enemy
techstepgenr8tion: 74% Match 64% Friend 13% Enemy
Happymusic: 70% Match 63% Friend 15% Enemy
nthach: 68% Match 72% Friend 15% Enemy
hyperlexian's husband: 64% Match 55% Friend 18% Enemy
spongy: 62% Match 63% Friend 21% Enemy
Laz's ex: 61% Match 68% Friend 24% Enemy
Grisha: 60% Match 58% Friend 23% Enemy
Laz: 57% Match 63% Friend 19% Enemy
hyperlexian: 54% Match 66% Friend 27% Enemy

Wow, Volodja, looks like we're quite the match! But wouldn't make for great friends. I don't understand how a match percentage can be higher than a friend percentage. :?: And Moog and I must be the bestest friends. My greatest enemies, apparently, are hyperlexian, Laz's ex, Grisha, and spongy. Very amusing.
