...this sounds a lot like a Dateline ploy. Be sure to check ID.

Sometimes you just gotta lure them in with Disney movies and sugary foods.

The more I look on okcupid and pof the more I'm inclined to agree with Jerry Seinfeld.

JERRY: Elaine, what percentage of people would you say are good looking?

ELAINE: Twenty-five percent.

JERRY: Twenty-five percent, you say? No way! It's like 4 to 6 percent. It's a twenty to one shot.

ELAINE: You're way off.

JERRY: Way off? Have you been to the motor vehicle bureau? It's like a leper colony down there.

ELAINE: So what you are saying is that 90 to 95 percent of the population is undateable?

JERRY: UNDATEABLE!

ELAINE: Then how are all these people getting together?

JERRY: Alcohol.

Yeah, I've browsed POF a couple times and it just ain't happening for me on there.

Yeah, I've browsed POF a couple times and it just ain't happening for me on there.

I filled out my profile and didn't put a pic up. Got a message from someone I favorited(I didn't know they were alerted). We talked last night and today so I texted her a pic. Haven't heard from her since haha

The few times I've browsed POF I agree. I find probably close to 40% of the people on OKC in my area attractive though. Might just be because I'm close to NYC/Brooklyn.

Man, those cougars aren't bad looking. Maybe I should up my age range on POF.

Done and Done.

Cam, Im no expert, but I'd recommend you adding a little bit more to your answers there by being more specific.

From the unsolicited messages I've received, a lot of them mention the Lion King as I brought it up about 3 times in my profile. Theyve also brought up me training, hunger games, and even french fries.

By giving them specifics, you give them something to connect to you with.

And maybe throw in a joke or two. Show off your personality as much as you can. Even right now, I dont have a feel very much for who you are.

Just had another date with the short girl and the end of it went from good, to awkward, to good in 2 minutes. Date went well, we said our goodbyes, I went in for the kiss after we hugged and she sort of stood there like, "Oh what are you trying to do?" turned her head and pulled away. We both stood there awkwardly and said goodbye again. As I was walking away from her car she came up behind me, turned me around and kissed me. Then after I left she called me 5 minutes later apologizing saying she misread my signals and wants to see me again. So that's good I guess.

Definitely one of the more awkward moments I've experienced.

So this one girl messages me saying something along the lines of "I dont message first but I saw you looked at my profile and decided to write."

So we start messaging back and forth and I get her number. But I cant contact her because she was in Mexico on vacation. Then she gets back and texts me.

We have a few texting conversations. I look back at her profile and she has like 2 pictures I would consider really cute and the rest are just meh. So Im just talkimg to her for entertainment. But I get her to send me a pic and I get this...

Spoiler

Changed my mind COMPLETELY. Immediately wanted to marry her. Lol

Then a little later, I find out my future wife lives in San Fran. Im in LA...

Son. Of. A. Bitch.

I guess I overlooked that the whole time. It was probably the main reason I didnt message her to begin with when I first looked at her profile.

So pissed.

Yeah that girl said she messaged me because of my Superman costume lol, then I told her she reminded me of Lois Lane and by the time we stopped talking for the night she was calling me Clark and I was calling her Lois .

This could be a match in nerd heaven

Someone has a role player on their hands.
