Traci posted an update in the group
OkCupid Survivor Group 12 years, 3 months agoOKCupid used to be so good years ago, but now it’s just full of lazy, horny guys. I must get 5 messages a week from guys who are clearly copying and pasting the same message to everyone, usually with some text that indicates they didn’t read my profile. Sigh.
-
Jesus, yeah, I know what you mean! I haven’t had an account for quite a year yet, but I started out allowing straight people to see my profile and I was constantly bombarded with absurd e-mails from horny straight guys constantly. Then I realized I could make it so straight people couldn’t see me and now… all is silent. I guess it’s kind of nice…[Read more]

OkCupid Survivor Group 12 years, 3 months agoHey everyone. I know this group is mostly designed as a (much needed) place to vent about OkCupid and the frequently annoying and disrespectful people who frequent it, but I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to actually send someone a message? I’m pretty new to this thing and social interaction online is not my forté- I’m not a creeper…[Read more]

Okcupid actually did a guide to this! http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/online-dating-advice-exactly-what-to-say-in-a-first-message/ I’d say the point is to find specific things in their profile to discuss. I never know how to respond to a generic ”hey what’s up” or “let’s chat sometime!” (I always think, isn’t this message our “chatting”?)
-
Thanks, Erda! I didn’t know about that guide and it’s quite interesting. I know I should engage with something specific in a person’s profile/their general interests- I just wish I was less awkward about doing it. Oh well XD
-
Yeah, it’s hard, because it’s hard to sustain such a specific conversation for so long, I think. But “hey what’s up” “not much how are you” types of conversations don’t go even as far as that, so that’s something to think about.

a lot of times i look for something in their profile that strikes me as weird and i ask them about it. it’s really awkward, but less awkward than looking at their page 4-8 times a week without saying anything

Rinnie posted an update in the group
OkCupid Survivor Group 12 years, 3 months agoSooo I just offended someone with my scatterbrained ways. Sometimes I will see that I’ve received a message and think, “Cool, I’ll check back on that later” and then completely forget about it. Well, that’s what happened recently, and I felt guilty at first and, in my sometimes too blunt way, acknowledged how annoying this could be and suggested…[Read more]
-
I do this too, with messages. Never sure how to deal with it.
-
Yeah, my problem is that I know myself too well to say that I’ll never do it again, which seemed to be what the other person wanted to hear. I’m sure it made her feel like I didn’t care about her or the conversation, but in reality I’m just a forgetful idiot sometimes.
-
Well if she takes everything personally probs it’s better that she goes off and does her own thing anyway.
