That Internet dating thing

ZekeDMS · 2010-12-09T19:41:21.000Z

You know, whenever I see “4u” in a profile name…I always hesitate a little. I’m not sure why, but there’s something in it my brain is implying.

Saw this today on Okc:

  		        Greetings, fellow atheist. This is Chris from [B]OkCupid[/B]. I know from hard experience that non-believers have few holiday entertainment options:
[ul]
[li]Telling kids that Santa Claus is just the tip of the iceberg, in terms of things that don’t actually exist[/li]> [li]Asking Christians to explain why they don’t also believe in Zeus[/li]> [li]Messaging cute girls[/li]> [/ul]
Towards making that last one more likely for you, we’ve devised a special wintery match algorithm, and we’ll be sending you a seasonal special someone each day for 12 days.

Are they doing something similar for other religions?

I haven’t noticed this and a friend of mine who lists himself as agnostic on Okc has not received anything similar.

Seems like Okc likes to send out messages like these. I once got a message saying I was in the top 10% of most popular prospects. I laughed but it was a big ego boost.

You gotta work on that profile pic, man.

ZekeDMS · 2010-12-13T19:23:05.000Z

What? A man can’t have an attraction sign?

Pogo:

I would suggest a slight edit to your sign: change the word “an” to “and”. Alternatively you could unzip your fly.

Good hunting, my man!

I got this yesterday:

Hello, agnostic person. Or should I say: iamnotsurethereisaHello. Anyhow, you might be undecided about a lot of things, but one thing is certain: the holidays are a good time to be messaging cute girls.

Towards making that happen for you, we’ve devised a new wintery match algorithm, and we’ll be sending you a special someone each day through the New Year.

<insert name here> is today’s match. Like you, she’s agnostic and probably sitting around wondering what it all means.

Holy balls, yes. As soon as I see “4u” in a username, klaxons go off in my head. Also, anyone whose profile starts with “Miss” or any similar variant.

So the reminiscing-over-coffee date went well. No big sparks there but just fun to have that same comfort level after a decade and a half, it’s like things picked up right where they left off. Definitely worth the time.

After this weekend, I plan to get some more recent/decent photos taken for OKC/PoF and head into 2011 with renewed confidence. Already getting pings about the spring kickball season which is a definite, plus if all goes well, moving into a new loft apartment mid-year will make things a lot more palatable for in-home entertaining.

Things are looking up, indeed.

Matt_Bowyer · 2010-12-29T12:53:13.000Z

Okay, people, guess the date of Nute’s first “FUCK THA OKC” post! I select February 24th. Can we make this a poll like Lorini’s NFL head coach thread?

Mightynute · 2010-12-29T12:56:12.000Z

You make it sound like I’m the Brett Favre of internet dating.

“I think I have a good shot ahead of me, I’m feeling good about this.”

48 hours later

“…I just don’t know anymore, I had a good run, maybe it’s time.”

48 hours later

“Well, maybe one more shot.”

Let us know how the texting of your penis goes, Brett.

Anyone got $50,000 I can borrow? And Jerri’s number?

Why is there an astonishingly accurate ASCII representation of someone’s junk in my pm folder?

Linoleum:

Because Nute made a mistake. That was supposed to go to me.

Be sure and put “accomplished ASCII artist” in your profile, Nute. Chicks dig artists.

Matt_Bowyer · 2010-12-29T14:22:39.000Z

This thread is going to a weird place.

Mightynute · 2010-12-29T14:24:44.000Z

I come here to get some confidence-building, and I find my junks being slandered (libeled?) by those closest to me. I am hurt and wounded. Crushed, even.

Screw this, I retire from internet dating.

…

Well, maybe one more season.

Raife · 2010-12-29T14:34:31.000Z

So this ASCII image of Mightynute’s junk is going around, and if that is actual size, I am so sorry, man. Maybe you can tell people it was really cold.

Mightynute · 2010-12-29T14:37:11.000Z

It’s not the size, it’s the inadequacy and disappointment!
