Yea so true. I had quite a few checked on my profile in last few days and they are like 'nah, too ugly'. That is what women is like on dating websites.


How do you know they're not interested because of looks? Did they message you to tell you?

I get the notification of 'they checked your profile' and shut off the contact. So, I know what is mean by shutting off the contact. I look creepy to them, thats why shut off the contact. Its all about the look.

except you don't know what information from your profile put them off (unless it's just a photo)
you're making an assumption

What do you mean shut off the contact? Do you mean they block you before you've even messaged them?

Yep. I have no significant approach to them. I have no idea why they block someone based on looks. It does sound like just for looks because of no response.

Well I thought the way Okcupid works at least from what I read on the site was they tell you the first time when somebody goes on your page but they don't show you anymore when that same person comes on again. For all you know you have some girl who is creeping over you and looking at your page 20 times day lol.

Have you actually messaged anybody or have they just viewed your profile? Because in general you will NEVER get messages following a view. You will have to send the first message.

I suspected that this was the system. I think it must only show one visit per person for a period, either while logged on or for a day or two. Now I want to know if I have a stalker so I can glomp her @_@


Also I have an account here.

e: I have to say the worst trend on these sites is for people (mainly female afaik) to take their pictures solely through distorting filters. It's a shame that they feel the need to do.

Yea I contacted some of them. Then no reply afterwards. As notification told me they viewed my profile after I sent them a kind message and they don't contact. Hence shutting me off.

Other thing is I deleted most of the answers off the questions. I don't trust that s**t you know.

In other note I had 41 profile views this week. Its so much isn't it? So, it can't be finding the right one by 1 in 1. It more like 1 in a 1000 or so.

I got this message from PHD student in Brisbane who moved there as an immigrant. Her message below is:

Quote:
If you are wondering, it was the question regarding the worth of he lives of foreigners versus the worth of the lives of your countrymen. Considering that I am muself an immigrant and most of my family are foreign, I find such a view not only simply offputting bt personally insulting. I cannot be more polite about this in any way. Your romantic experience is entirely irrelevant to my reaction.


I find this ridiculously biased and offensive to the Australians.......considering herself being a foreigner and her family. It does seem she is going to have very hard time to live in Australia with that sort of attitude like that. Don't you think so?

So what was her view? Was it that the life of an immigrant was worth just as much as a native-born person, or more than, or less than?

Well, if you feel the life of a foreigner is worth less than a native and considering unless you're aborigine you're an immigrant... see where im going with this?

It's offensive to Australians to suggest that non-Australians are equal? I don't think I follow. Explain your position on that?

It took a LONG time and a lot of messages but I've finally found someone interesting to chat to on OkCupid. I really like her and we're planning to go on a date. She's actually going to the same uni as me so if this goes well I reckon this will lead to an actual relationship and good times all round :)
