Re: Anyone try online dating sites?
"I know we wouldn't have very much in common and would probably have completely different values, but I think those are obstacles I would be able to overcome," said Bogan, who added that after giving the matter a lot of thought, he had to admit the concept of getting involved with an attractive woman in her mid-20s very much appealed to him. "While you might think I'd be embarrassed to be seen with someone young enough to be my daughter, at this point in my life, I'm comfortable enough with who I am not to care what people think about me."

Re: Anyone try online dating sites?
It's usually a given that it's an above average(weight) chick when I get a high rating

When I first signed up I used to get those messages. Then when I checked to see who was calling me hot, I wanted to close my account for fear I was being pranked into uglying the population.
Now I'm back with a random photo and get no hot messages. But I get more women sending me messages. Sadly, nothing has changed about their appearance.
To be fair, I have gone on dates with some very attractive women. It's just difficult to make happen when the OKC pop is mostly chicks that don't come close to matching my preferences.

Re: Anyone try online dating sites?
Ever since I have received that message, the talent level has greatly increased.
Somehow an ugly one now and then still seems to find me, but not as often as when i first joined.Cubs | Bulls | Dolphins | 'Noles

For anyone struggling, my advice is to use BestFace.
I was shocked to find what women prefer to see and what gets them to bite or pass by a profile.
It's a game of drawing them in.
I also recommend sending messages to those that visit your profile. My response rate is much higher when doing so.
Consider the logic. Something about your pic caught their eye and most women are hesitant to make the first move. In fact, this is how I've gotten dates out of the most attractive women on the site.

As someone pointed out, the more "hotter" women that rate you highly, the more those women see your profile when getting quiver matches or stopping by the home page.
OKC has confirmed this happens. They do their best to get pretty people with pretty people.
I know one of the reasons the talent level has decreased for me is because I was away for nearly two years. But a couple weeks in and I'm noticing more attractive women checking my profile.
It's all just math for OKC.

Re: Anyone try online dating sites?
You can't formulate personality, I think. Nothing against Okcupid. I think their math is mostly right, but it doesn't answer everything about a person. Plus, people either lie or don't really know as much about themselves as they like to think.
No girl thinks she's clingy or annoying. So if a question centers on something like "how often should a significant other contact you about their daily activities?" you'd be hard pressed to find someone that chooses the "all the time" option. But, you and I have dated women that feel you need to update them all the time. So, either those women don't visit okc (impossible) or they just don't realize how clingy they are (more likely).
Have you ever tried messaging someone that is more Enemy than friend?
I haven't gone all out on it, but I'm considering it.

Re: Anyone try online dating sites?
I don't really pay attention to the percentages. If there's something in the profile that interests me and I think they're attractive I'll send a message to try and start up a conversation.

Re: Anyone try online dating sites?
I used to get emails when someone rated me 4/5 stars, but I've gotten a couple 5 star ratings the past few days and have no idea who they're from. Don't really want to pay for A-list either so it'll stay a mystery.
Also as someone who has generally only dated 1 girl at a time, I had/have 3 dates this week with another one interested. Currently feel like this:

Re: Anyone try online dating sites?
Wait, does OKC no longer let you go through a list of women (after you've received a 4 or 5 star rating) telling you to rate them because one of the eight or so rated you highly?
It was their way of making sure you also rated someone a 4 or 5 without being swayed by their vote.
Then, if you did, you'd get the mutual 4/5 rating message. I had that full experience once and the woman never hit me back. Days later her profile was closed. Maybe she was scared of commitment."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.
