So, a while back I found myself on OkCupid as sort of a social experiment. I didn't really want to meet anyone, because I'm kind of a purist in that sense, but I was just kind of curious about it. So I joined. And I got a lot of traffic from the kind of dick-driven trolls I thought I would at first. My profile information was snarky and uninformative at best. But there were a few interesting interactions as a result.
- The Banter Guy. This guy messaged me with the full intention of bantering with me. In the end, I made him angry by way of being a complete smartass and he never messaged me back.
- The Married Guy. His message was literally "Would you be okay with fucking a married guy, or are you not into that?". Oy.
- The Soulmate. One of the guys that messaged me was someone I thought was actually sort of attractive and had a personality to match mine, in a way. He messaged me this whole tongue-in-cheek response and that I seemed like the good kind of crazy. So as a reply, I reciprocated his interest and followed it up by asking if he thought black and green were good colors for our wedding invitations. He never wrote back.
And finally..
- The Angry Guy. This guy was a gem. He messaged me a really sweet message, but I didn't stay on the app long enough daily to reply to my messages in a very timely fashion. Fortunately, OkCupid has a disclaimer at the bottom of your profile that tells how often you reply to people (often, selectively, rarely, etc). This guy must have missed that boat. He followed his message up a day later with a message that said "Fine, I guess you're a stuck up bitch. Fuck you. I hope you get shot or robbed.". Dream guy.
So, all in all, my experience with OkCupid was mediocre. I'm no longer there, as my social experiment is over. Plus I think I'm gonna marry Angry Guy. I hope he likes black and green.
