How many of you are on OKcupid?

awww

I've been on for a few weeks and I have had several conversations but they haven't lead anywhere. There doesn't seem to be a guy in my area that seems to be a match for me. Having said that I'm not too sure what I want or who I'd be compatible with. I'm going to keep at it though, new people are joining all the time so I'll stick with it.

I have noticed a few people on there with stereotypical characteristics of someone with AS and have messaged them but they don't seems interested oddly enough. I have also recently removed the sentence I originally had on my profile which indicated I had AS myself, not sure if that was a good or bad idea as of yet.

I've been on there a few months. Its a waste of time like all online dating.

Its just an extravagant way of being ignored by lesser minded people who happen to have bouncy things on their chests and think that you are unworthy of them.

I am Bealdor on there. I have given up though as a quick read of my profile will testify.

I had a quick look at your profile, it shows that you have all but given up but at least you are honest. That is how my profile should read but I jazzed it up in a positive attempt to meet someone. If you were gay then theres a chance I would have contacted you by now, just remember that you are the kind of person that some other people would want to be with, and what you consider as perhaps pesimism may be interpreted as realism by others including myself. I find the 'lost souls' most intriguing and am drawn to them as I feel I am in the same boat myself.

Have you ever thought about being with a man

I am on it, going fairly well so far. Have had a number of positive interactions and hope to go on my first date (through it - I have dated before) next week

I was on Okcupid and Match at the same time. I've sense removed both profiles and have no intentions of going on. I would talk to girl but had no idea what the conversations should entail. I guess most were on there for sex or something which I was not looking for. I'll take my like with normal, walking people and avoid the online dating from now on. It's hard enough to get someone to be interested in me in person let alone when 100's of competition is out there. I hear it works for some but not me...message a gang of chicks and no response...I should have been an athlete...black nerd is just...well you know lol

I'm really considering killing my account. All it's doing is depressing me.

There are TONS of women on the site that I'd love to talk to, date, maybe even form a relationship with. But they are all separated from me by hundreds or thousands of miles. The ones that are in my geographical area are all god fearin' ham-beasts who think readin' is for p*****s, and the few that are here that are worth sending messages to, either have full inboxes or simply never respond.

I don't have a problem meeting girls. I hate the boring getting to know you questions. I think it would be easier if we just filled out applications.
Girls always end up walking away from me. Just walk away one day.

I spent most of the time on that site answering the multiple choice "get to know you" questions or whatever they were. Got kind of addicting, and I suppose, insightful. There was an increasing percentage displayed of "how well we know you", as I recall, and even though it indicated 100 percent after a bunch of questions...they kept coming, and I kept playing along. I believe I got up to something like 1500 answered. I wondered when they'd run out of things to ask. As for any communication with other members..I exchanged one or two brief messages with one or two women. I actually don't remember deleting my profile yet. Last I logged on had to be over a year ago.

Yes! It's so awesome!

I have a hot date with a different chick every fortnight.

I dated a girl for three months from OKC, so I can't say that it doesn't work. In general, I would say that 25% of the women I send a message to will respond. Of that, probably another 10% make it to a date.

Like any type of dating, it takes work. You need to read the entire profile, see what you like or don't like. Then send a message based on his/her profile with something clever added. I pretend that dating a game, that way I don't get hung up on whether someone responds to me or not.

Don't be negative in your profile, or your messages, whatsoever. Put four or five photos of just you on your profile, look happy. "Hi, hello, hey there" is not message. You need to read the entire profile and put some substance into a message. It takes practice, not everyone will respond.

My pet peeve is where someone responds with a dead end message, so it becomes my responsibility to keep the conversation going. If it goes on like that for more than a week, I stop messaging.

I used to be on it, ive had may 6-8 profiles over the last 3-4 years, I just get annoyed with them and delete them. I have just found that i wont fit anyones idea of a good match until i get some semblance of what the majority of people would consider a normal life. but other people have found success with okcupid, and POf, im just not one of them.

I'm actually on there right now reading someone's profile . I find it quite fun and don't take it too seriously (even thought I want something serious to come out of it). If you're bored come look at my profile - MrPaulieC, you'll find me tucked away in the gay section so sorry if that's not your cup of tea, but still there's no harm in browsing.
