Want to see him at some of his worst? Look for the body modification thread.

Australians probably know this already, but Rick Springfield was secretly awesome.

Not really to do with dating, but if you have someone to do it with, answering OKCupid questions is pretty addictive. Of course, if you’re doing it with someone, there is a chance of confirmation bias.

5265

It’s a nice activity. And serves a purpose! Which is why I’m constantly irritated by people who make new profiles all the damn time, causing me to awkwardly wonder if I messaged them before or rejected in the past, and to ponder the oddly high numbers for people I clearly would hate.

My g/f broke up with me last night. We dated for about 18 months, broke up for 6 months and got back together for 3 more months. The distance (we live 120 miles apart) and the fact that I do contract work versus a regular job just scared her so she bolted. Just the thought of doing the whole internet dating thing and starting all over again with someone just terrifies me. I’m 49 and don’t know if I have any more of this dating stuff in me…

5267

Sorry to hear that man. Without knowing the whole story it sounds to me like she’s being unreasonably insecure for someone of that age, but that’s a big assumption.

You’re never too old to date. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the same boat as yourself. Good luck.

5268

This. :) You can do it buddy!

Urge to date rising…

Like the proverbial moth, I am again drawn to the flame. I think I am going to be one of those annoying people Zeke talks about and remake my OKC profile. While I loathe the idea of answering the six billion questions again, I feel I pigeonholed myself by using a name a friend suggested that defines me too narrowly. The only way to get a more generic name is to start over.

But I think I will invite all of Qt3 to help me out with the profile part. It’ll be fun. Or painful. Or some combination thereof.

There’s occasionally good reasons to do it, certainly. Just don’t be one of those people who does it on a monthly basis, lest I loathe you over the internet!

5271

Thanks for the props guys! I might dive back in, but gotta give my heart a little time to heal first. But who knows, maybe down the road a bit?

5272

The best way to get over somebody is to get under somebody. Can I get a HELL YEAH?

On the topic of OKC, the greatest change from one question:
97% Match, 91% Friend, 0% Enemy
to
84% Match, 85% Friend, 5% Enemy

I assume that is due to two people with mandatory on a question disagreeing.

5274

And that is why relying on the match percentage is pointless.

5275

A 97% match who I think is awesome but then suddenly realizes that Jesus is her Lord and Savior and drops down to 84% might still be awesome… but probably not. Then again, it’s really doubtful that someone like that would have been 97% in the first place.

5276

A combination of a lack of shared questions combined with extremely high value placed on that one, I’d suspect. More answers, less margin of error.

5277

Got a question to ask. The woman that just broke up with me was never good at managing her money. We had taken a trip to Pensacola for the beach a couple of weeks ago and she lost her iphone on the trip. No worries, I just bought ordered her a new one. But hasn’t yet shipped. So do I take the high road and let her have the iphone even though she broke up with me? Or do I decide that if she doesn’t want to be with me, then she doesn’t want my iphone either? I’m a bit torn, bit lean towards taking the high road and letting her have the phone. What do y’all think?

5278

I would say that the gift would occur on delivery, not on order. So do you want to give her an iPhone?

5279

That depends on how guilty you’ll feel if you keep the iPhone.

5280

I’d probably cancel that order, myself.
