I thought we had discussed this but apparently I thought wrong.

THE HORNIVORE
Random Brutal Sex Master (RBSMm)

Don't ever marry, you're The Hornivore. Roaming, sexual, subhuman.
The Hornivores (you) are some of the most screwed up and naughty beings in the Universe. And their numbers are growing, mostly due to skipped or misused contraception. You care not. There's one thing you want, one sole need.
Half manly, half bestial, you act on instinct, and animal charisma smoothes the way. It's unlikely
Your exact opposite:
The Slow Dancer

Deliberate Gentle Love Dreamer

you're driven by much other than your own selfish, orgasmic requirements. Your appearance and personality have evolved for the hunt. Ass beckons, you oblige.
For the record, you can happily bang all personality types, however your match percentages might be low with the kinder, more sensible people of the world, purely because they all wish to avoid you. Good luck to them.

:(. I'm "The Last Man on Earth"

Sorry, but most men would rather see the human species wither to an end--and therefore deny the most fundamental instinct that living creatures have--than sleep with you.

We've learned the following: you don't think things through. You're haphazard. You're dangerous. You're somewhat inexperienced. It's totally obvious that you're a horny bugger, as well. Everybody knows that and steers clear.

To top things off, when you do find your way into a relationship, you tend to be a dick somewhere down the line and fuck it all up.

There's a small, but negligible, chance we're wrong. In any case, your friends find your shit hilarious. There's nothing cooler than a dude reducing himself to human rubble.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 24 May 2004 15:55 (twenty-two years ago)

YES the matches were horrifiying since i JUST SAW THE PROFILE OF SOMEONE I WAS EMOTIONALLY INVOLVED WITH THAT I WISH DEATH UPON, etc oh no. how "random" - [can i blame this perrson for my current "brutality" ?]. i guess it also doesn't help that Person lives 7 miles away and is an internet addict as well, so i should've figured It would have filled one of these things out and matched up w/ me since apparently they show everyone local in regards to the gender(s) you're looking for

Tons of giddy American teenagers message me telling me I am beautiful and have excellent hair, and then I just feel guilty at how flagrantly dishonest the photographs I've posted are. It is oddly compulsive.

my results:

The Playboy
Random Gentle Sex Master (RGSMm)

Clean. Smooth. Successful. You're The Playboy.

You're spontaneous, and your energy is highly contagious. Guys therefore find you fun to be around, and girls find you compelling. You have lots of sex, and you manage it all without seeming cheap or being hurtful. Well done. You probably know karate, too.

Your exact opposite:
The Mixed Messenger

Deliberate Brutal Love Dreamer
It's obvious to us, and probably everyone else, that you're after physical rather than emotional relationships, but you're straight up with potential partners. And if a girl you want isn't into something casual, it's no big deal. You move on. BEFORE sleeping with her. Usually. At least you try to. Such control is rare.

If you're feeling unfulfilled, maybe you should raise your standards. New conquests will only be satisfying if there's a possibility of rejection.

Apparently, I am...

The Gentleman
Deliberate Gentle Love Master (DGLMm)

Steady & mature. You are The Gentleman.

For anyone looking for an even-keeled, considerate lover, you're their man. You're sophisticated. You know what you want both in a relationship and outside of it. You have a substantial romantic side, and you're experienced enough sexually to handle yourself in that arena, too. Your future relationships will be long-lasting; you're classic "marrying material," a prize in the eyes of many.

It's possible that behind it all, you're a bit of a male slut. Your best friends know that in relationships you're fundamentally sex-driven. You're a safe, reliable guy, who does get laid. In a lot of ways, you're like a well-worn, comfortable pair of socks. Did you ever jack off into one of those? All the time.

Your exact opposite:
The Last Man on Earth

The Peach
Random Gentle Love Master (RGLMf)

Playful, kind, and well-loved, you are The Peach.

For such a warm-hearted, generous person, you're surprisingly experienced in both love and sex. We credit your spontaneous side; you tend to live in the moment, and you don't get bogged down by inhibitions like most women your age. If you see something wonderful, you confidently embrace it.

You are a fun flirt and an instant sweetheart, but our guess is you're becoming more selective about long-term love. It's getting tougher for you to become permanently attached; and a guy who's in a different place emotionally might misunderstand your early enthusiasm. You can wreck someone simply by enjoying him.

Your ideal mate is adventurous and giving, like you. But not overly intense.

I seem to be the first Pool Boy on here. It's funny them saying what they do about love. I suspect if I'd taken this test a few months ago I would have got different results:

Random Gentle Sex Dreamer (RGSDm)

Friendly and eager. You are The Pool Boy.

A teen at heart, you anxiously move about your daily tasks, hoping, praying for a good, instant lay. You're carefree, enthusiastic, and rarely discouraged. Love is cool, but it's not for you right now. You know what is? Crotches.

You're a fun person in both big and small groups, and your friends trust and love you. Inside you, meanwhile, your lust is only growing. Imagine your beating heart sprouting pubic hair. Exactly. Try shaving that.

Your exact opposite:
The False Messiah

Deliberate Brutal Love Master

If you're not scoring enough--which you aren't--you should adopt new strategies. Lower your standards. Be aggressive. Pool Boys are often submissive and hope (desperately) sex will find them. Realize that passiveness will not hook the horny girls you desire. A bolder approach and sheer repetition will.

When browsing OkCupid, consider both The Dirty Little Secret and The Playstation.

Lauren - yes, yes.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 24 May 2004 18:57 (twenty-two years ago)

The Wild Rose
Random Brutal Love Dreamer (RBLDf)
Colorful, but unpicked. You are The Wild Rose.
Prone to bouts of cynicism, sarcasm, and thorns, you excite a certain kind of man. Hoping to gather you up, he flirts and winks and asks you out, ultimately professing his love. Then you make him bleed. Why? Because you're the rare, independent, self-sufficient kind of woman who does want love, but not from a weakling.
You don't seem to take yourself too seriously, and that's refreshing. You aren't uptight; you don't over-plan. Romance-wise, sex isn't a top priority--a true relationship would be preferable. For your age, you haven't had a lot of bonafide love experience, though, and this kind of gets to core of the issue. You're very selective.
The problem is them, not you, right? You have lofty standards that few measure up to. You're out there all right, but not to be picked up by just anyone.

that's it, i'm bringing a flashcard marked "woo" to the bar tonight.

Hopeful. Awkward. Soft-headed. Fire intrigues you. You are The Manchild.
Okay, Manchildren have some good qualities. They can be unpredictable, brash, magnetic--and therefore highly charismatic. Particularly, you're passionate and are often a hell of a lot of fun.
But we'd like you to consider not using OkCupid. You can be unthinking and hurtful, and we think you LIKE seeing bad things happen. You've had a moderate number of relationships, but broken a disproportionate number of hearts. In total, you mean well, but don't really have it together.

It's up to you, of course, whether to continue dating. There are plenty of women out there who do deserve you. But you've heard our advice.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Monday, 24 May 2004 20:10 (twenty-two years ago)

What is the combination that = Manchild?

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 24 May 2004 20:14 (twenty-two years ago)

This man is horrible:

"I am smooth and sophisticated; as well as being extremely cultured and interested in the visual arts. I'm generally quite intoverted at first, but I have a good sense of humour and I am a barrel of laughs. I enjoy socialising with my friends whether it is just a few quiet drinks or out dancing."

I'm sorry but this entire paragraph can be condensed to read

"I am 22 and fancy myself wild and crazy, but really I'm a choad."

― martin m. (mushrush), Monday, 24 May 2004 20:30 (twenty-two years ago)

All of my closest matches are people I never want to see, much less, talk to ever in my life.

Okay

a) Technically it's not a solo album on account of the fact that it's by MC Skat Kat and the Stray Mob.

and

b) Somewhere I actually have a copy of this album.

plus

c) Weirdly, it's not terrible. Some of it is actually pretty funny.

The 5-Night Stand
Deliberate Brutal Sex Master (DBSMm)

Compassionate, loving, and understanding, but only for one business week, you are The 5-Night Stand.

Sex is your primary objective, and you are a skilled manipulator. Therefore, you get LOTS of ass. Most likely, you juggle many women at once; you care about all of them a lot, but each of them a little. It adds up, right? One love.

this could not possibly be less accurate.

Ach - I just got a superhott girl and I saved her, which seemed to bugger up the 'yes I would' process and now I can't get her back to rate. IT IS V.IMPORTANT THAT OKCUPID KNOW THAT I FIND HER ATTRACTIVE.

No just the stuff they say M.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 24 May 2004 21:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm trying to think of a question that I might want my potential partner to answer the opposite way to me. Has anyone done that yet?

Well, there were the "tying up/being tied up" type questions, where you'd naturally want your match to answer oppositely.

― donut bitch (donut), Monday, 24 May 2004 21:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't know - knot races can be fun.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 24 May 2004 21:24 (twenty-two years ago)

they recently changed it so that your matches change more regularly, like almost every time you refresh, I'm sort of dubious about this, I think they just do a lottery.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 24 May 2004 21:26 (twenty-two years ago)

But they do keep a record of the top 10 matches out of this lucky dip, which is smart, and allows them to actually function, unlike Friendster.

They very recently changed it so that it's completely fucking broken and shows everyone as being 0% match.

I'm up to 68% now and they are definitely getting better. Except the top one, the picture of whom just seems to be a tongue piercing and whose profile says 'I'm so sick of people honking at me. Just fucking get over it'.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 24 May 2004 21:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Easy to turn on. Hard to beat. You are The Playstation.

You're a nice girl, and you have lots of sex. It's therefore highly likely that you're attractive, and you're certainly outgoing & friendly. Plus, this healthy physical attitude of yours indicates deeper emotional well-being and stability. Unheard of. When guys dare to dream, they dream of you.

I just saw someone really nice. That's another thing I found with this, when you think "oh maybe I should message someone" and then part of you goes "no! don't!" there's a strong sense of terror at the prospect of being afraid to message someone ON THE INTERNET. THE PLACE YOU THOUGHT WAS SAFE!

OK, I don't understand this. Does it not work properly? I can never seem to get past two generations - the mutations stop appearing. It was such a good idea, too.

The Natural Selctor worked upto generation 5 this time. Maybe it stalls when they don't have enough info on someone to compare. I don't like the idea that a picture of me could come up with 'more drugs experienced' or something underneath it.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 24 May 2004 22:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually this is awful. I hate to think what 'more'/'less' x statement I'd be happy to appear under my photo. Or next to others in comparison to me, for that matter.

Can someone start a Natural Selector trail with my username (ra_ra_ra) and see what comes up next to the other photos? Or maybe it'll let me do that myself.

I am clearly becoming obsessed with this site.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 24 May 2004 22:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh - it did work with me at the centre. And I like the results, kinda.

The Bachelor
Deliberate Gentle Sex Master (DGSMm)
Straight-up. Studly. Congratulations, you are The Bachelor.
You're an honest, good-thinking guy, and though you're very sexually active, people don't perceive you as a male-slut or man-whore or guy-dick-putter-inner or whatever. You have a sterling reputation.
You're a careful person, perhaps too much so for your friends' tastes, but girls like that in you. You probably don't kiss & tell. And you definitely don't brag. You know you don't have to prove anything to anyone. It's as if you believe in monogamy, so long as it's with lots of different people.
Our guess is that you've got some kind of word-of-mouth going with the girls out there, and that in the future, your sex partners will get even more plentiful, and more attractive, too.
You will settle down eventually, and make an excellent husband. You seem like the type who is into the idea of making copies of yourself, so you'll probably have lots of kids. Bear in mind, meanwhile, this can get expensive.
ALTERNATE ENDING: You will die broke and alone. Vermin will feast on your ragged body for five days before the groundskeeper notices. The thing is, when somebody dies in a public restroom, the natural odor of his decomposing flesh is often masked by the feces smell.

The Loverboy
Random Gentle Love Master (RGLMm)
Well-liked. Well-established. You are The Loverboy. Loverboys thrive in committed, steady relationships--as opposed to, say, Playboys, who want sex without too much attachment.
You've had many relationships and nearly all of them have been successful. You're a nice guy, you know the ropes, and even if you can be a little hasty with decisions, most girls think of you as a total catch. Your hastiness comes off as spontaneity most of the time anyhow, making you especially popular in your circle of friends, too.
Your exact opposite:
The Billy Goat
Deliberate Brutal Sex Dreamer

You know not to make the typical Loverboy mistake of choosing someone who appreciates your good humor and popularity, but who offers nothing in return. You belong with someone outgoing, independent, and creative. Otherwise, you'll get bored. And then instead of surprising her with flowers or a practical joke, you'll surprise her by leaving.

accuracy: 110% true +/- 10%

sometimes totally true, othertimes not.

Half-Cocked
Random Brutal Sex Dreamer (RBSDf)

Fiery. Hungry. Blatant. Sexual. Christ. You are Half-Cocked.

There's a lot of wild lust inside you, banging around, that much is obvious. There's also a lot of untamed emotion. When either escapes, look out. One minute you're completely together, the next you're a howling gale of hormones and opinions.

Outside relationships, your intense, mercurial personality makes you a charmer. You can be fiercely devoted, and it's likely that many of your friends will be friends-for-life. Of course, your enemies are likewise certain and zealous, especially your exes and their therapists.

You will find the right person. In the short term, he's someone virile who won't sweat your imperfections. In the long term, he will be someone mature and caring who will grow to love them.

The Priss
Deliberate Brutal Love Dreamer (DBLDf)

Mature. Responsible. Aristocratic. Excuse me. The Priss.
Prisses are the smartest of all female types. You're highly perceptive, and confident in your judgements. You'd take brutal honesty over superficiality any time--your friends always know where they stand with you. You're completely unfake. Don't tell me that's not a word. You're also excellent at redirecting internal negative energy.
These facts indicate people are often intimidated by you. They also fall for you, hard. You have a distant, composed allure that many find irresistible. If only more of them lived up to your standards.

Your exact opposite:
The Playstation
Random Gentle Sex Master

You were probably the last among your friends to have sex. And the first to pretend that you're pregnant. LOL. Though you're inclined to use sex as weapon, at least it's not as one of mass destruction. You're choosier than most about your partners. A supportive relationship is what you're really after. Whether you know it or not, you need something steady & long-term. And soothing.

Took the test three times with varying degrees of honesty/seriousness. Got The Boy Next Doormat, the Poolboy, and the Manchild, a triad of planets revolving just above the Last Man on Earth in terms of desirability. Maybe after a few decades of maturation I can aspire to be the Bachelor, the Gentleman, or even the False Messiah. I can be sure of only two things: I'm random, and I'm dreamy.

I have answered lots and lots of gayness and religion questions, as well as seen lots and lots of 18 to 21 year olds (but that may change as the site audience expands).

― Bnad, Tuesday, 25 May 2004 18:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm quite amused by the sort of things I consider mandatory: apart from no-brainers like racism, welfare etc, it's all the maths ones. YES you have to be able to tell me what half 30 +10 is.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 18:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I own loads of more-than-six-sided dice, and I've never played a role-playing game in my life. I just like the dice.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 18:56 (twenty-two years ago)

GO TEAM POOL BOY!!

I am more compassionate than most males my age.

I have answered 100 questions now. There were only two I said required mandatory responses.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 18:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Also of course questions where I'm using mandatory for negative testing - I don't care if you pick A, B or C as long as you don't pick D.

― dog latin (dog latin), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 18:58 (twenty-two years ago)

My current best match has answered 798(!) questions.

i am 'akendoha' if anyone cares

― dog latin (dog latin), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 19:05 (twenty-two years ago)

OK, so I read the FAQ - it's good.

I don't want to hook up with anyone who has answered 798 questions - this is surely a flaw in the system.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 19:08 (twenty-two years ago)

dammit - all my bad matches are really hot. except they say things like:

The Passion of the Christ was the BEST movie I have seen all year. I can't believe that Jesus endured that much for ME. It opened my eyes to my faith and how I should be doing more for the Lord.

― dog latin (dog latin), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 19:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't stop answering these questions! It's like popcorn. I'm a Pool Boy apparently, or some kind of Random Sex Dreamer which sounds like a fabulous name for a band.

― Vic Fluro, Tuesday, 25 May 2004 19:10 (twenty-two years ago)

except they say things like:

Change your name to the Lord.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 19:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Radcliffy is like a reference to Harvard students or something I think, Americans help me out???

Basically it means NERDY, IIRC, HJY, 8718727, OSCAR.

I said loads of the questions were irrelevent.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 19:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah - it's in the glossary. I was being lazy.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 19:14 (twenty-two years ago)

What's this woo business all about? Should I fire a few off?

― Crackity (Crackity Jones), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 19:54 (twenty-two years ago)

ha ronan i just got you as an 84% match! I knew it was you because of the bald-man head licking story which has been stuck in my brain since you posted it. maybe i will woo you! (i keep wooing people but my stock of woos hasn't gone down. i don't think they are getting them. either that or I have an unlimited supply ie. i am a ho. a woo-ho)

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 19:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I was just looking at someone called hatredofman.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 20:00 (twenty-two years ago)

also my top match has this in his profile:

"i like trashy films but also quite intelecktual ones. i always spell "intellectual" as "intelecktual" to show that i don't take myself too seriously."

what a great idea!! i recommend that everyone starts doing this.

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 20:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I got paranoid before that it might stop sending messages based on how many you don't reply to.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 20:02 (twenty-two years ago)

My two top matches (85%) are a vicar's daughter from Manchester and a Dublin girl with a first in Biblical & Theological Studies.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 20:05 (twenty-two years ago)

I keep getting law students at the top of mine. Give me some time and I will think of a bad joke to make about this.

and a Dublin girl with a first in Biblical & Theological Studies.

I'm a occasional vegetarian, a non-agression pacifist, a libertarian-socialist ("anarchist"), an existentialist, a Discordian, a magician, an obsessive fan of B-movies, and a writer of fantastic tales of adventure

this is my most recent suggested match, so i wouldn't be too upset about a vicar's daughter. that's kind of quaintly cute, actually. i didn't think they had them anymore.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 20:14 (twenty-two years ago)

now two people have sent me an email containing only the words 'how you doing?'. seriously, if this is the state of compatible men out there I'm giving up. one of them was married with two kids and lives in sweden for fuck's sake.

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 20:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, I like the vicar's daughter - I just thought it was funny that my top two were both ironic about their religious background in their profiles.

Does everyone else have a vague imaginary (or not so imaginary) partner in their head when they answer all the questions, or do you answer them totally abstractly?

haha Ronan "is more indie than most"

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 20:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm "cruder than most" and "crueler than most," but not (yet) "stinkier than most"

― Bnad, Tuesday, 25 May 2004 20:23 (twenty-two years ago)

totally abstractly.

Andrew I saw that too, it's odd, maybe I should just shave my head. It'd look stupid though.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 20:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I believe strongly in natural building & am constantly searching for alternatives to the capitalist paradigm! Currently, my perpetually evolving dream is to someday live off the grid in a strawbale home built by myself and my (future) partner, and grow organic apples, peaches, and a vinyard.

this is my #2 match. okay. a question for any of you who know me in the slightest: can you envision me in a stawbale home (whatever the fuck that is), growing my own fruit?

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 20:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I think everyone has themselves in mind, TBH.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 20:33 (twenty-two years ago)

if it goes by the picture gallery preferences, then the site must think that i'm a lesbian. i only said 3 or 4 people were hot, and they were all women.

oh, god... what is going on:

I'm really good at:
videogames lol, computers, electronics, takin things apart and figurin out whats wrong with them if anything then fixin the problem if i can, and i make a very good mover cuz ive done it so much lol.

You do seem pretty full of yourself on the page (and one picture) but that's OK.

I JUST GOT A WOOED. By a pretty cute girl in Edinburgh I've somehow not seen before, even though we're 84% match.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 20:40 (twenty-two years ago)

She likes Basement Jaxx!

Her self-summary just made me laugh!

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 20:41 (twenty-two years ago)

thanks. would you like a tape? or I could make you a lunchbox?

x-post I figured all the people I message are full of themselves. and it was either that or maudlin.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 20:41 (twenty-two years ago)

We are getting married!

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 20:42 (twenty-two years ago)

― Crackity (Crackity Jones), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 20:42 (twenty-two years ago)

dude that was me! sorry i know it's weird, but i thought if i wooed someone on this thread i would know if it was working. also obviously i love the way the interweb brings us all together in new and slightly creepy ways. thank god you called me pretty cute though because otherwise I'd have to come over to glasgow and kill you.

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 20:43 (twenty-two years ago)

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 20:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I think wooing is dangerous.

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 20:45 (twenty-two years ago)

nobody seems weird except all of us.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 20:46 (twenty-two years ago)

this whole thing is weird, i should be doing the washing up. someone on this thread email me, I haven't had a message in over five minutes and i'm starting to get worried!

When you want all the love you deserve
And the heat’s on your mind
Don’t you even think about it
I’ll be there just wrapped around you
I can’t hold back what I feel inside
It’s just a fact that

You should be mine
Anything you want
You got to fortify my love
You fortify me

Can you woo woo woo
Can you woo woo woo
Can you woo woo woo
You should be mine, all mine

Any way that your heart has been denied
Ooh, you can come to me
Every time that we’re together
Just confirms the good thing we’ve got
And something this good can’t be defined
One thing’s for sure that

You should be mine
Anything you want
You got to fortify my love
You fortify me

Can you woo woo woo
Can you woo woo woo
Can you woo woo woo
You should be mine, all mine

Can you woo woo woo
Can you woo woo woo woo
Can you woo woo woo
You should be mine

In the height of your worry
Where it’s running too deep for you
When it all proves too much, too much, too much
I’ll pull you through
I can’t hold back what I know inside
It’s just a fact that

You should be mine
Anything you want
You got to fortify my love
You fortify me

(You should be mine) Can you woo woo woo
Can you woo woo woo
Can you woo woo woo
You should be mine, all mine

(You should be mine) Can you woo woo woo
Can you woo woo woo
Can you woo woo woo
You should be mine

(You should be mine) Ooh...ooh...ooh...
(You should be mine) Ooh...ooh...ooh...yeah

I'm not offended! I was just talking to my sister on the phone! She could do with some wooing, but sadly she's not on OKCupid. Not that I would woo her - that would be even weirder than kathryn's antics.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 21:16 (twenty-two years ago)

kathyrn, if they're goths, perhaps the "Goths: C/D" question is one of the questions that it tell you means a lot to them. In which case you're laughing.

antics?? now I am offended. You came up on my matches and were probably the best one* so it wasn't really a fake wooing. Maybe a slightly sly one.

*although sadly everyone else was a goth/a poor speller.

I can't believe I have been talking about this site for the last ten minutes. I wish I'd discovered it just when I came out of hospital. All the crappy DVDs I watched when I could have been meeting strangers over the internet!

I'd forgotten I'd seen pictures of you before. You do look like a cuter Thom Yorke. ~~Or Tony Parsons~~.

Since when is London a 'small town'??

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 21:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry, thay was to dog latin, not kathryn, in case it wasn't clear. Kathyrn can look like a cuter Thom Yorke too, if she likes.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 21:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I've managed to listen to the whole of "Ultravisitor" whilst perusing this site. That is how addictive it is. (not that ultravisitor is bad, it's just very long).

― dog latin (dog latin), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 21:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Dog latin looks like someone who used to live in brighton (not thom yorke).

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 21:39 (twenty-two years ago)

uh, i live in letchworth - i stuck london in for anonymity. There's no-one in my area on the site and i'd stick out like a sore thumb if someone who knew me decided to stick "letchworth" in for a laugh.

OK, I just misread "Will you teach your children to believe in Santa?" as "Will you teach your children to believe in Satan?" and was again, momentarily impressed.

― dog latin (dog latin), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 21:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, I've been to Brighton twice but wasn't really hanging around just went to parties there. So it wasn't me. But I have been bandying the idea of moving to Brighton since I have a lot of friends there/moving there. But now it's put me off cos I'm scared of meeting my doppelganger, innit?

― dog latin (dog latin), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 22:06 (twenty-two years ago)

also no-one's sent me a message for at least half an hour! and I've wooed at least ten people.

sexyscotishbird cares about your answer to:

Presumably this means she said it was very important or mandatory that one answers this in a certain way. How bizarre.

What did trayce mean about having had a profile from two years ago? It's new, isn't it? They didn't transfer old ones over from sparkmatch, did they?

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 09:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I got loads of messages from girls on Friendster (not even creepy ones) at first and then it all dried up. I thought going back to being single might help but it didn't.

I wondered why you weren't on my matches any more! (unless you are talking to cozen). I wondered what questions I answered to make it fall so dramatically.

x-post I think everyone on it is about 18. All of my world matches are canadian for some reason.

Actually I used to go out with a canadian. he was called colin and he tried to convince me that this was a deeply exotic name in canada. also he introduced me to the guitarist from gomez. my mental view of canadians is fairly negative because of this.

xpost the slap in the face answer is clearly MANDATORY

you lied! it is still 88%. clearly we must get married. unless the canadian guy who was 89% wants to move to scotland.

Man, I normally have no patience for these sites but I am embarassed to admit that I'm looking forward to escaping work tonight so I can check my mails. Coloured sites are a giveaway at my work, where the internet is webracist.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 10:54 (twenty-two years ago)

i know it's addictive somehow. although i'm still on painkillers so my judgement could be warped.

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 10:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Everyone seems to be quite compatible with me. I'm great!

Oh, well I don't know, kathyrn - I have just answered three more questions, but surely that can't have swung it.

If "some men are knights" and "some knights are tall", does it follow that "some men are tall"?

Is it just me being thick, or is this question flawed? Are we to assume that all knights are men or not? I mean, real world knowledge vs. strict logic?

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 10:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I am incompatible with you but I think that is because the thing thinks I'm a roving sex beast.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 10:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I am mildly concerned that I come out as so unhorny (despite being a random gentle sex dreamer Pool Boy). I can't think what questions I might have answered 'wrong'. Maybe the one about never having an orgasm again vs. never being able to reproduce. I want kids though!

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 10:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm kinky, though.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 11:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I have answered a load more questions and now I am even more compatible with N., but the highest person who comes up in my matches is only 66%.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 11:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Ricardo -see the FAQ re: the way the matches work. To keep it fresh, they just randomly sample a certain number of people each time you look at the match page, then rank them. It's not a ranking of every user. But a cache of top matches (global and local) appears in the right column. If you keep refreshing the match page, the top people should appear. What's weird is that I can't get kathyrn even when I restrict my local search to a set that only includes about 3 people.

I think it's a bit sneaky the way you answer all these questions and then realise the very secrets of your soul are on show in all those graphs. It's a bit weird instantly knowing which ILXers have more drugs or sex experience, or are kinky or lonely or whatever.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 11:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I want to know HOW INDIE i am, although i'm still not sure if i answered any indie questions. maybe the one about the monkey.

i was 85% with ronan and now i am 61%! and i've only answered about three questions today. very suspicious. however it says he is less moral than me so it's probably a good thing.

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 11:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I know. But even the cache goes no higher than 67% and I was getting 86%+ before. And all the friends percentages have gone to zero. Must be a bug.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 11:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I liked the capitalization in "[Ronan] is WAY less pure than you."

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 11:14 (twenty-two years ago)

That reminds me of when a girl I knew started going out with this guy in my year, we must have been 15 or 16 at the time. She described to me, in tears of laughter how on their first "date" there was a long awkward silence, after which he eventually said "so.........do you like animals???". urgh! I cringe for him now just telling the story.

She was really stunning looking, I guess he was a bit intimidated by the situation he found himself in. Also he was sort of an idiot, which never helps.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 11:44 (twenty-two years ago)

there is no possible way that i can be a 77% match with a girl that has a canadian beer logo tattoo. there just isn't.

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 11:45 (twenty-two years ago)

'excuse me, now that i've bought you a drink, i need to ask you: would you date someone with abnormal amounts of body hair? no you don't understand, it's part of a series of questions...don't go...'

xpost haha ronan that's genius.

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 11:45 (twenty-two years ago)

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 11:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I hate the way some of the questions make you feel like the straight moral conscience of society millennium man or something.

Like "How important is voting to you" makes me just imagine lots of twats going "EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, THE WORLD IS A TOTAL SHAMBLES RIGHT NOW" etc etc etc, and yet "extremely important" seems to be the answer which comes to mind.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 11:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I know - I desperately wanted to be flippant on so many questions, but stopped myself.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 11:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Having just passed the 100 questions mark, I thought I'd look again at my local matches. My best match is ediblebarbie at 72%. Quite cute, I thought. Then I read her profile:

The best movie I've seen in the last year:

freddy got fingered, its so funny, tom green is a comic genious

I'm in shock, I didn't believe that was actually possible. FREDDY GOT FINGERED IS POSSIBLY THE WORST FILM EVER MADE...

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 11:48 (twenty-two years ago)

my number three match is called bigphatdave. BIGPHATDAVE.

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 11:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Back before okCupid started hating me, one of my top ten worldwide was called RhiannonSidhe, or suchlike. The #1 was called concordantly, but I actually think it's kind of cool.

i'm very angry. i was just asked if i prefer playing scrabble, going out dancing, or getting drunk. how am i supposed to choose? in an ideal world, those activities are combined.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 11:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Dancing *and* playing scrabble, you are wild?

― Be sure to Loop! Loop, Loop, Loop. (ex machina), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 11:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I was wondering if it is actually possible for some people to be more matched on average than other people after taking into account the number of questions they have answered

I remember on sparkmatch, Barry Lasagne seemed to be only 55% compatible with anyone. At the time, it seemed odd!

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 11:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I wouldn't be surprised.

No. I get a kick out of reading about you lot using date sites, however.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 12:03 (twenty-two years ago)

jon williams is 78% my match. i suspect it would be 80+ had he a molson logo on his ass.

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 12:03 (twenty-two years ago)

JtN, I thought you went one step further and actual hooked up with someone off a serious dating website!

TELLING ME THAT TOTAL RECALL ROCKS. Okay, I definitely need to take "total recall" outta my profile.

― mandee, Wednesday, 26 May 2004 12:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I compared myself to N., and OKCupid.com says that I am more loving, more sex-experienced (!?!) and hornier (!?) than he is. He, however, is more into drugs.

― mandee, Wednesday, 26 May 2004 12:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Mandee, the only thing you've done horribly wrong is not telling these people to shove their lack of love for the single lifestyle up their booby hatch.

And show some love for Robocop, woman!

xpost i'm only 58% compatible with mandee! it must be because her hair is so much cooler than mine.

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 12:43 (twenty-two years ago)

"The Manchild
Random Brutal Love Dreamer (RBLDm)

Hopeful. Awkward. Soft-headed. Fire intrigues you. You are The Manchild.

Okay, Manchildren have some good qualities. They can be unpredictable, brash, magnetic--and therefore highly charismatic. Particularly, you're passionate and are often a hell of a lot of fun.

But we'd like you to consider not using OkCupid. You can be unthinking and hurtful, and we think you LIKE seeing bad things happen. You've had a moderate number of relationships, but broken a disproportionate number of hearts. In total, you mean well, but don't really have it together.

It's up to you, of course, whether to continue dating. There are plenty of women out there who do deserve you. But you've heard our advice. "

I'm 79% with you, Daver.

Lauren is up, Kathryn is down. Tying on 85%, but clearly Ricardo is the one for me.

Only 62% compatible with you N. Does that beat the Cozen score (which I can't immediately find)?

I seem to have low scores all round - I ran Bad Matches a minute ago and got three zeros, in addition to the two I already knew about. :-/

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 13:49 (twenty-two years ago)

At the moment it is sure of only two things about me - that I am more compassionate than most (not a surprise, based on other personality tests I've taken) and that I'm less old-fashioned. I think I'm very old-fashioned! Maybe they mean in a socially conservative way, I don't know.

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 18:05 (twenty-two years ago)

It'll probably go up as you answer more questions, nickalicious (see the FAQ if you've not already). At the moment, 90% is the maximum you could get. So 80% isn't so bad - pity misanthropic Passantino, who's answered 556 questions and still can't find anyone over 70% (despite a potential of 96%).

Yup. Even if you had, would you really admit it on a dating board?

I just looked up Ally and OKCupid is mocking me now.

She is less moral than most.

She is less pure than most.

Furthermore:

She is more loving than you.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 19:33 (twenty-two years ago)

oh dear. I think this whole thing is a lot more complicated than I first thought. It's actually horrifying to think of people seeing my profile loads of times and thinking 'for fuck's sake, not her again'. But then I seem to be dismissing people just because they describe themselves as wacky, or crazy! Is this overly harsh?

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 19:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I am:
The Boy Next Door
Random Gentle Love Dreamer (RGLDm)

Kind, yearning, playful, you are The Boy Next Door. You're looking for real Love, a lot like girls do. It might not be manly, but it's sweet.

We think the next three years will be very exciting and fruitful ones for you. Your spontaneous, creative side makes you a charming date, and we think you have a horny side just waiting to shine. Or glisten, rather. You enter new relationships unusually hopeful, and the first moments are especially glorious. If you've had some things not work out before, so what.

On paper, most girls would name the Boy Next Door as their ideal mate. In the real world, however, you're often passed over for more dangerous or masculine men. You're the typical "nice guy:" without just a touch of cockiness, you're doomed with girls. A shoulder to cry on? Okay, sure. But never a penis to hold.

More than any other type, Boys Next Door evolve as they get older. As we said, many find true love, but some fail miserably in the search. These tarnished few grow up to be The Men Next Door, who are creepy as hell, offering backrubs to kids and what not.

ALWAYS AVOID: The Nymph
CONSIDER: The Maid of Honor, The Peach

This sounded more or less random, and not much closer than any other profile, so I was feeling dismissive. Then I read the thread...

Ooh Jody, I should consider you! And vice versa! Also Luna! And Teeny! And Kim! And Mary! And Nicole! This works for me! This is an astoundingly appealing bunch of women to be matched with!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 19:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I would really like to end up the last man on earth as that's kind of how I've been feeling after that weird punch-up in London. Maybe I'll try again tonight.

Yeah both of them. Hot eh? Their names are Miley and Biddy, for many years they were a cornerstone of Irish society and the true artistic realisation of the old time love and tenderness that has always been the core of our fine moral majority.

People would ring radio stations and complain when affair storylines were introduced, this was probably only around 1994 or 1995. And I wonder why all of OK Cupid are less old fashioned and hornier than me.

What did trayce mean about having had a profile from two years ago? It's new, isn't it? They didn't transfer old ones over from sparkmatch, did they?

I didnt realise this, N and youre right - the OKcupid test itself is old as the hills but the matching thing is new. I didnt realise they never ported across the old logins, which is what I was referring to.

lauren just woo-ed me! I am all a-flutter. I only got two emails overnight despite wooing about fifty people when ilx was down. I need to stop looking at this website. It's warping me.

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Thursday, 27 May 2004 09:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I've now answered 500 questions so am allowed to submit my own questions and slowly take over OKCupid. I was lying in bed last night and all I could think of was brilliant question after brilliant question. They'd better approve them.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 27 May 2004 09:47 (twenty-two years ago)

That is my next incentive. 300 down, 200 to go then I can ask questions.

My matches haven't changed much since the first couple of searches, so answering questions doesn't seem to change that much. Picture searching is more fun.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 27 May 2004 09:50 (twenty-two years ago)

give us a taster of your brilliant questions, or is topsecretinformation.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Thursday, 27 May 2004 09:50 (twenty-two years ago)

At some point soon we're going to have to tie Dastoor down and make him go cold turkey.

I think Kathryn is now my top ILX match.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 27 May 2004 09:51 (twenty-two years ago)

matt I was thinking of proposing, but sadly we match only 77%! you'll have to do better than that.

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Thursday, 27 May 2004 09:55 (twenty-two years ago)

It turns out that it is indeed possible to answer questions in such a way that you will be better matched on average - they mention this in the bit about lying. I wasn't lying, but I guess this is making me realise that to a large extent I base my life and personality around what will make people like me. Outside of certain limits (nutto gun-toting fundamentalists, or extreme piercers, for example) I respect people, and wouldn't want to do or think things of which they would dislike me for. I kind of think of that as socialization, but maybe I take it too far.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 27 May 2004 09:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I am on 79% with Rick now. Kathryn you're dumped.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 27 May 2004 09:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I've only answered about 75 questions so far, they're all about drugs, it seems.

― jel enigma, Thursday, 27 May 2004 09:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I've just been asked whether I would be willing to cut a partner during sex if they asked for it. *shudder*

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 27 May 2004 10:03 (twenty-two years ago)

FINE. me and Lauren are on 88% anyway.

nick I do the same thing. i am ridiculously accommodating to other people and would not dream of laughing when they tell me how much they love westlife and eating mushrooms (clearly unacceptable). but only the other day someone laughed at me for listening to the cocteau twins. the world is harsh.

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Thursday, 27 May 2004 10:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I said yes to the cutting! You've got to keep an open mind.

give us a taster of your brilliant questions, or is topsecretinformation.

I have forgotten most of them, in that 'brilliant things you think of as you're going to sleep and can't be bothered to write down' way. The one I actually submitted is a secret.

Generally, there seem to be far too many questions about attitudes to the wider world and not enough about how you are as a friend and partner (and what you want in one). The ones that there are, are rarely very subtle, either. Hence my being matched with an 18 year old goth from Falkirk who no doubt has impeccable left-liberal credentials, but come on.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 27 May 2004 10:23 (twenty-two years ago)

i just got a note from this satangirl saying "mmmm... thanks" but i don't think i wooed her! in fact, i'm positive i didn't. this is just like real life.

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 27 May 2004 10:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh forgot to mention that I'm on this as MartinSk - an impenetrable disguise, I think. How do I determine match %age with particular people? Just in case I'm a perfect match for Momus or Marcello or something? I'm not getting many sensible matches - I suspect there aren't so many older people in London on this so far.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 27 May 2004 11:30 (twenty-two years ago)

to get matches with people just put their names into the 'lookup username' box, it's just under the lefthand side menu.

I match 84% with martin!

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Thursday, 27 May 2004 11:41 (twenty-two years ago)

There's a box on the bottom left that you can type a name into (79% match!)

I am 90% with a long-haired vegan from Reading! there's something wrong with this system.

I just re-read my profile and realised that it is stupid but I can't be bothered to change it now.

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Thursday, 27 May 2004 12:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha I think he's on my local matches front page. Yikes. Where are the carnivore questions?

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Thursday, 27 May 2004 12:53 (twenty-two years ago)

yes, also the 'Is long hair on men an ABOMINATION IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD: yes/definitely yes/yes indeedy' questions.

I liked 'do you use foul language?', it depends on your definition of foul really.

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Thursday, 27 May 2004 12:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Aw shoot, that's why I've got him then innit? I said it was perfectly OK for chaps to have long hair, and just LOOK where it gets me. Tchah vegans grumble.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Thursday, 27 May 2004 12:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't think long-haired vegans are necessarily a no no!

Kathryn - your profile is still the best one I've read. Granted, the competition has been lame.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 27 May 2004 13:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Well there you go. Everyone knows that long hair and veganism go together like...er, carrots and horses or something.

Teeny OTM re: not really caring what side your ideal match would take as long as they think, etc.

I just answered "irrelevant" to the "would your your ideal partner kill someone" question. Is that bad?

Not if they thought about it first.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 27 May 2004 13:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Woohoo! Just passed the 500 mark. A link appears down the bottom to let you submit questions for consideration.

My first attempt, childish though it is:

Does the body rule the mind, or does the mind rule the body?

a) Body rules mind
b) Mind rules body
c) I dunno...

Hopefully it won't fall foul of their 'pop culture reference' rule, although I've seen plenty of questions that break their rules already.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 27 May 2004 13:49 (twenty-two years ago)

fuck you disastoor!

(I dunno - I just wanted to call you that.)

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 27 May 2004 13:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I finally decided almost all the questions were totally irrelevant. They really kind of are. More important to me is, does she agree that Captain Sensible's "Wot!" is the greatest song ever recorded? Because if so, then everything else follows from that, I think it should be obvious. And if not, then she can go fuck herself, I am an island blah blah etc. Really I think murder and gay marriage and creationism are hardly germane to the topic of interpersonal compatibility compared to flash-in-the-pan synthy rap songs by goth punker bassists gone solo. I mean honestly, I don't care how many drugs you were on at the time or which ones or who you were sleeping with, when you heard Captain Sensible for the first time and saw the video, did you too suddenly feel that there was actually hope for the human race, or not? Well? Well?

― TOMBOT, Thursday, 27 May 2004 13:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Cozen - it is V.V. important that you don't be a wuss and come tomorrow night. E. can't come now and I really want to go but going on my own would be too weird.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 27 May 2004 14:04 (twenty-two years ago)

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 27 May 2004 14:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry all - didn't have cozen's number and didn't trust him to check email. Cupid is not involved.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 27 May 2004 14:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Apparently nickalicious is cooler than me. But he's also more violent.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 27 May 2004 14:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I am kind of shocked at how cool I am supposed to be. And ungeeky. And unloving.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 27 May 2004 14:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I do worry that I am unloving, in a False Messiah kind of deluded, self-image-as-a-romantic way. But I haven't actually read the description for OKCupid's conception of the False Messiah.

Cozen - I've emailed you.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 27 May 2004 14:19 (twenty-two years ago)

a) Body rules mind
b) Mind rules body
c) I dunno...

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 27 May 2004 15:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Wooing seems a bit lame. I mean, if you are interested, surely thinking of a couple of non-mental sentences to write isn't too much to ask.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 27 May 2004 15:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Aaahh.. this thread is winding down...
Reading the adapted Myers-Briggs type male classifications again, I'm struck that they seem to be ranked from top to bottom in order of how much sex the guy gets, and by how attractive he is to women, with the "deliberate gentle" ones at the top. I guess random brutality doesn't get one laid, in peacetime anyway.
Also, I can't help but think that one's gentle deliberateness might be inferred by how one answers the sexual history question--if you've had lots of partners, you're automatically classed as deliberate gentle, because how else could you have gotten them but by being gentle and deliberate?

― Bnad, Thursday, 27 May 2004 15:30 (twenty-two years ago)

what happens when someone woos you, roxy, is that you get a message that says "woo." that's it. that's all.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 27 May 2004 15:31 (twenty-two years ago)

that sounds about right.

Dom update: my one solitary 75%+ match is, inevitably, a Cambridge student. She's also already seeing someone.

My second highest world match's username is "ilovesting". As in the tantric Geordie cunt.

The most attractive local match for me has "Would you date someone who takes anti-depressants?" as one of her mandatory questions.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Thursday, 27 May 2004 17:09 (twenty-two years ago)

OK, let me look at this step by step

I'm really not keen on brutal people at all.

Random/Deliberate seems to be about how intense and committed you feel about partners (potential or actual, sexual or romantic). Should anti-rockism and a certain vagueness extend to one's love life? Hmm.. yes I think maybe it should. So, Random.

Dreamer/Master is just fancy talk for experienced or inexperienced. I still kind of sometimes resent Masters but frankly, at least they're a known quantity. Dreamers can be kind of fruitloopy.

Sex and Love are both good. But I'm not sure my Random choice above would fit Love so well - could get hurt by them even if they didn't mean to do it. So I'll edge towards Sex, assuming that they aren't mutually exclusive.

So my favourite type should be the Random Gentle Sex Master. The Playstation! The OKCupid creators seem to like her too.

And Prisses (Deliberate Brutal Love Dreamers) - grrrrr....

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 27 May 2004 17:21 (twenty-two years ago)

btw, despite reaching the giddy heights of 90% with Kathryn at one stage, we are now a slightly cooler 86%. Lauren has overtaken her by one percentage point.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 27 May 2004 17:22 (twenty-two years ago)

fuck - another person telling me i look like a hot radiohead :-O

Let me guess... music... ah, Radiohead. They speak to you, am I right? ;) I should really ask you first though - give you a fair trial. So, what music do you like? (I'm a sucker for a dare..) ... I think you're hot. I should try to find a photo to upload, then you can tell me the same thing. PS Turns out you're less kinky than me - I wonder how accurate these things are

Your partner wants to keep a small, shaved monkey as a pet because it's funny looking.

Cool
Bad idea, but it's up to them
No way

― Be sure to Loop! Loop, Loop, Loop. (ex machina), Thursday, 27 May 2004 17:31 (twenty-two years ago)

It seems like 80% of people put Kill Bill 2, Lost in Translation, Eternal Sunshine Of A Spotless Mind or American Splendor as their favourite film of the last 12 months. I can't stop myself discounting those who put any of the first three, which is bad, seeing as so many of my friends might say the same. It's just the repetitiveness. I guess I am so indie. I never seem to see my graph for indieness.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 27 May 2004 17:32 (twenty-two years ago)

what's wrong with being fruitloopy?

I'm gonna put Daddy Day Care.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 27 May 2004 17:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I am not really attracted to fruitloopy, is all. Some depression, OK, but bizarro unsocialized mental illness just doesn't do it for me. Am I a bad person?

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 27 May 2004 17:35 (twenty-two years ago)

starsky & hutch is probably my favourite film of the last 12 months. playtime is still my favourite I've watched though.

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 27 May 2004 17:35 (twenty-two years ago)

You see that's attractive.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 27 May 2004 17:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I couldn't contemplate telling someone straight-out I think they're "hot".

― Crackity (Crackity Jones), Thursday, 27 May 2004 17:36 (twenty-two years ago)

How about 'hott'?

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 27 May 2004 17:37 (twenty-two years ago)

how about "you are vaguely attractive but you live quite far away, and it probably wouldn't work out anyway?"

― Ricardo (RickyT), Thursday, 27 May 2004 18:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I would woo you, mark, but maybe it would feel like your mum sending you a Valentine. I haven't been wooed or messaged by any strangers yet, either. I am convinced it is because people are putting 30 as their top age range in searches. Don't disabuse me of this consoling thought.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 27 May 2004 18:01 (twenty-two years ago)

no no n, i understand. i'm sure it appears like i'm fishing but really a consolatory woo from an ilxor would almost be worse.

i understand about the age thing too. i've moved from trying to appear charming to scolding potential suitors for not completing their homework.

(xpost)

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 27 May 2004 18:03 (twenty-two years ago)

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 27 May 2004 18:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I have been wooed once, and actually messaged properly once. I was thinking this was a poor return compared to Ronan's stack of messages, but maybe I'm wrong.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Thursday, 27 May 2004 18:04 (twenty-two years ago)

The one genuinely good thing to have come out of this so far is a realisation of how fussy I am.

The #1 was called concordantly, but I actually think it's kind of cool.

I think she was mine too, if it's the one I'm thinking of she's from the same place as me.

Also, that Clementine-y girl linked to upthread once messaged me to call me a 'pretentious, artsy fuck'.

I am 80% with Concordantly, which is odd, as when I do the suggested matches worldwide thingy, the highest I get is 78%. Are there more people I am more compatible with out there that this thing is hiding from me? Is it hiding them from me because, as a Manchild, it encouraged me not to use the site? IS THIS ANTI-MANCHILDITE PREJUDICE?

oh my god, i go to the pub and there are 192 unread messages on this thread when i get back! this is mentalism. although i'm glad i'm not the only person who is OBSESSED.

I kissed someone tonight and it wasn't nick! so I don't think we will be getting together, unless it is to compare hairstyles or something. Also there is no way I'm going out with someone I've never met, are you crazy? wtf omg lol etc etc

argh I said music was very important to me and now I have a bunch of musician matches! I said I didn't care what they thought about music though! In fact I said I preferred that they like books instead!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 27 May 2004 21:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Matt it's okay, we can still be pretend husband and wife! just don't tell anyone.

I've discovered the downside to woo-ing, in that even if they write back and say 'hey you're cute', they still live 5000 MILES AWAY and you have to send loads of emails to hot people you are never going to meet, and remember what you said to who, and it's all complicated and is like having multiple boyfriends except you never actually meet them or get to sleep with them or anything.

I can't really complain about the lack of wooing from strangers - I haven't sent any myself except to you lot myself.

I'm pretty sure that the reason I match so well with Martin and Ricardo is that the three of us are so right-on in our social opinions. Which, yeah, I'm quite keen on a partner being, but OKCupid seems to weight it far too heavily.

some guy just sent me an obviously generic email full of really short questions like 'what is your favourite movie?' 'what is the worst film you've ever seen' and in the middle is this one HUGE ESSAY QUESTION about penis size ("if you could design your ideal man how long would his penis be? estimate the optimal size in inches")

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Thursday, 27 May 2004 21:36 (twenty-two years ago)

there's also a question about arm hair:

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 27 May 2004 21:54 (twenty-two years ago)

the questions are stupid! then it asks how it important it is that the match answers correctly! i dont care if they like cats or not!

― charltonlido (gareth), Thursday, 27 May 2004 21:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Then say it's irrelevant!

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 27 May 2004 21:58 (twenty-two years ago)

aarggh, people saying anything about George Bush in their profiles is definitely a IGNORE signal. it's kind of sad that it is like that, but it feels like his status as some kind of 'oh we all agree on THIS one' lefty token means that people don't actually think about him any more.

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Thursday, 27 May 2004 22:00 (twenty-two years ago)

― charltonlido (gareth), Thursday, 27 May 2004 22:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Going back to what I said upthread, I think I really do have an imaginary person (composite of previous girlfriends, I guess) in mind when I answer the question about how important it is for them to be this or that way. It makes it easier, even if it seems narrow-minded.

Or, to put a less favourable light on it, maybe I make rabid extrapolations about the kind of people who would tend to give certain answers. I quite often decided that 3 out of the 4 answers would be OK, making it Very Important or Mandatory that they didn't give the fourth.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 27 May 2004 22:03 (twenty-two years ago)

You don't care what a potential partner thinks about ANYTHING??

why does it keep asking me about aborting retarded babies?

― charltonlido (gareth), Thursday, 27 May 2004 22:06 (twenty-two years ago)

But having said that - yes, I marked at least a third, maybe a half of all questions irrelevant. To give you an idea of the sort of things that are dealbreakers to me, here's are some of my important or mandatory choices, from my profile page:

Do you care about other people's suffering?

Would the world be a better place if people with low IQs were not allowed to reproduce?

Do you say grace before meals?

Do you like to cuddle after sex?

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 27 May 2004 22:07 (twenty-two years ago)

N., how is the gentle/brutal split generated?

(I'm trying not to do this, mainly coz it's really depressing when yr in NEW ZEALAND . . . I know about fifty ppl locally who use friendster just a community thing - nobody's ever used it as a dating thing (& would laugh at the idea). so this won't catch on. popn density &c)

― etc, Thursday, 27 May 2004 22:08 (twenty-two years ago)

i am suprised you care about grace one way or the other

― charltonlido (gareth), Thursday, 27 May 2004 22:09 (twenty-two years ago)

it's annoying how they won't let you skip the logic questions.

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Thursday, 27 May 2004 22:09 (twenty-two years ago)

yes you have to answer this part sort of inverted, well thats how i do it. it makes sense to put some sort of answer anyway after all it is a dating system and they need an idea of what type of partner you are looking for. I guess. but yes there are questions where I just don't care what a partner would answer.

(jillion xposts)

― Ste (Fuzzy), Thursday, 27 May 2004 22:10 (twenty-two years ago)

I like how I'm suddenly the expert! I don't know, etc. - from being hard-hearted or a big softie in one's responses, I guess, inc. ones about past relationships?

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 27 May 2004 22:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Gareth - the grace one was a bit weird. I've nothing against Christians in principle, but in this day and age, the kind of person who would say grace before dinner I really can't see myself in a relationship with. You're all crazy romantics!

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 27 May 2004 22:11 (twenty-two years ago)

OK, who is kk99 and why are they proposing up-the-bum sex to me?

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 27 May 2004 22:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I agree re the grace thing. It would be very weird to have someone thank a deity I don't believe in every time I sat down to dinner with them.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Thursday, 27 May 2004 22:18 (twenty-two years ago)

no, i get you now, maybe i feel the same too, i think it was that you isolated grace, and i kind of disassociated from its context

― charltonlido (gareth), Thursday, 27 May 2004 22:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, and who the fuck wants to cuddle after sex?

Omigod, you folks should've never told me about this, I just the half of yesterday in this place. I'm The Boy Next Door, which comes as no surprise. According to the tests I'm also gay and a woman. That's not surprising either.

The funniest thing is, I filled all the personal info fields with "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." over and over again, and still got wooed by gay man living in London! (I said my sexual preference is "bisexual", since it was closer to truth than "straight", though I fancy girls more.)

My worst match is her! Amazingly, even though she's a 9% match, she's still a 45% friend. I guess I'm really into people.

I've found out that searching for bisexual matches brings out better results than straight ones. My straight matches are kinda geekish. Actually, my best local bisexual match (86%) sounds rather interesting, too bad she lives in another city. I actually considered the option of writing to her, but that would be kinda creepy, wouldn't it?

Incidentally Kathryn, I've thought long and hard about it and I don't think we can be pretend husband and wife, as I'm already pretend-engaged to another on these boards and could never go behind her back like this - it would go against everything I've answered in all my questions.

After years of railing against it I have finally become a k-lame internet flirt. The trend towards moments of uncomfortable self-awareness on this thread continues ever onwards.

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 28 May 2004 14:06 (twenty-two years ago)

i just took the plunge and sent a message to a cute stranger, she was more my age but I reckon i made myself sound like a schmuk anyway. why am i taking this too seriously? shit i just want to go out tonight and forget about this, maybe tonight i should carry post-it notes around with the word 'wooe' on and stick them on potential partners. maybe not maybe i should just shut up.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 28 May 2004 14:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Suppose a user account mysteriously vanishes but this person has told you where he/she works so you decide to show up there and find this person. Is that creepy?

Yes
No

Good to see Graham has answered 500 questions too!

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 28 May 2004 14:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Ste, that sounds like a great idea ;)

i couldn't help noticing that my top three bi-male friend matches are all on this thread, are there no bi-males on the interweb or something?

also if i do search for bi-females over 25 i get a blank screen, i concur with N about the amount of teenage bisexual girls, where were they ten years ago eh? eh?

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Friday, 28 May 2004 14:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I didn't know you'd had a sex change, Steve.

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 28 May 2004 14:25 (twenty-two years ago)

they were eight, you perv!

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 28 May 2004 14:27 (twenty-two years ago)

um, er, ignore me, thnx...

clearly there were EVEN MORE ten/fifteen years ago, that's why there were none left to go out with me...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Friday, 28 May 2004 14:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Tuomas, I have encountered no questions about fondling naked friends in saunas being completely non-sexual, so I don't know what has ruined our budding relationship.

The one genuinely bad thing to come out of this so far is a realisation that Ronan and dog latin are hotter than I am.

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 28 May 2004 17:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I only got one. And maybe 15 messages in the 2 months I've been on it. My woo never replied to my response to her woo, which if I recall correctly was "wow!"

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 28 May 2004 17:39 (twenty-two years ago)

it was heartening to me that she actually looked and seemed like someone I'd fancy or maybe have a thing for.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Saturday, 29 May 2004 02:08 (twenty-two years ago)

after about a hundred hours of philosophising over this, it strikes me that OkCupid brings things out in people they never thought possible. If you were in a crowded bar and you saw someone you thought was cute - would your first reaction be to go up to them and "woo" them? No, we are to reserved to go up to a potential "match". Yet we can go around wooig tens of strangers and e-mailing them and possibly even hiding an internet facade of not exactly lies - but distortions of the truth. It's crying out for a psychology student's disertation. Unfortunately I am no longer a student and I don't know the first thing about how the brane works.

― dog latin (dog latin), Saturday, 29 May 2004 02:22 (twenty-two years ago)

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 29 May 2004 12:49 (twenty-two years ago)

yes. you get a message saying "whats-her-chops has woo-ed you, you lucky so-and-so". There's little fanfare.

Ooh - and despite her only having answered 14 questions so far, she is 'DEFINITELY' less compassionate and crueller than I am. I think those are my first 'definitelys'. I thought I was over ice maiden bitches.

that's the girl who wooed me. more "right for me"? probably, now that I think about it. it's funny how it's not a question you consider, when trawling the internet alone on a saturday night.

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 29 May 2004 21:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Partly, I am just being dog in the manger about it, but partly it's because her profile says she'd feel naked without her mobile phone, and her photo caption says 'C'est moi'.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 29 May 2004 21:21 (twenty-two years ago)

That other one looks a bit squidgy, but there seems potential, yes. Did she reply?

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 29 May 2004 21:22 (twenty-two years ago)

go for the one who wooed you, Ronan. apparently she's "ace" and "afraid".

― Bryan (Bryan), Saturday, 29 May 2004 21:23 (twenty-two years ago)

The mobile phone thing doesn't bother me too much, but maybe I haven't considered the full implications of it. 'C'est Moi' probably should bother me, but then there's always the chance principles just fly out the window when someone's really hot.

No it was ages ago, she wooed me and I replied and that was it. Yeah she's kind of squidgy I guess, and extra terrestrial a bit, she is unusual looking, probably in a good way. Tentacles are really hot too.

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 29 May 2004 21:25 (twenty-two years ago)

It's just the phrase "I feel naked without.."

Maybe she was taking the piss, I don't know.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 29 May 2004 21:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Canadian girls are annoying. Go for the squidgy Scot. She sorta looks like an Olson twin. That's really hott, right?

― Bryan (Bryan), Saturday, 29 May 2004 21:27 (twenty-two years ago)

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 29 May 2004 21:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I do yes. She reminds me of Sissy.

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 29 May 2004 21:30 (twenty-two years ago)

It's getting all small-world now, I think about 40% of the profiles linked to on here have messaged me saying 'Nice hair/You look like Menswear/Duran Duran/Phil Oakey/S*ede' (that and the 'you twat' girl).

There seem to be about four people on the entire site that haven't irritably refused to answer the incoherent brain-trade question.

― Fergal (Ferg), Saturday, 29 May 2004 21:31 (twenty-two years ago)

for a while I had about 50 people as my answer.

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 29 May 2004 21:32 (twenty-two years ago)

You mean you listed 50 people or you just wanted some kind of megabrain?

I am strangely satisfied that you fancy my one too.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 29 May 2004 21:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh god - the local person match I was in mirth about way upthread messaged me on the weekend. And not only that he claims we've met at "parties and things" and I'm racking my effin' brain trying to think where I know him from, as he's most kindly put up a photo of Brett Anderson and what looks like some 80s goth band new romantic ne'er do well as his profile pic.

― dog latin (dog latin), Monday, 31 May 2004 09:27 (twenty-two years ago)

How do you get to have a high 'horny' score, btw.? The sexual experience thing I can understand - it mainly seems to depend on your number of sexual partners in relation to your age (as opposed the number of times you've had sex). But my low horniness score being lower than almost anyone else I can find baffles me. The only 'wrong' answer I can think I gave was saying I'd rather sleep with someone and not have sex, than have sex and not sleep with them (it was a hard choice). I can't even think of many questions related to sexual appetite.

Please tell me you don't need to say yes to rape fantasies and taking advantage of people when they're drunk. I hate the world.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 31 May 2004 18:04 (twenty-two years ago)

dude, you are hornier than me. I keep saying things aren't that important, I think this accounts for my low score, I kinda wish they'd stop judging me.

You can do a search on "Extra Nice Straight Men" or something along those lines, and I recognized jel and MattDC from the pic threads.

I don't have a profile on there or anything, but got a mail anyway, from some girl. Which I kind of wondered about, seeing that I'm straight. But then I checked my basic info and it it said I was male. Which is inaccurate. So I gave myself a virtual sex change.

It usually says I'm "more organized" than whoever when I'm looking at profiles. That's pretty damn boring.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Monday, 31 May 2004 18:20 (twenty-two years ago)

53%.

Of the users who took the test and are and in your age group, 0% scored lower than you.

I don't think that can be accurate.

Julia, what do you mean, you can do a search on "Extra Nice Straight Men" and is this supposed to be related to the horniness issue?

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 31 May 2004 18:56 (twenty-two years ago)

OK, I have found it now - it's a shame there aren't more options. Why can't you search for 'extra nasty women'? I wanted to do an attractiveness comparison.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 31 May 2004 19:04 (twenty-two years ago)

you're kinkier than me, if that's any consolation.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 31 May 2004 19:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm apparently kinky as fuck, which is almost as ridiculous. I think it's just cause I was like 'well yeah, I guess I wouldn't rule it out' to everything.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 31 May 2004 19:19 (twenty-two years ago)

The concept of being sexually inexperienced, kinky and unhorny is messing with my mind.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 31 May 2004 19:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I'm going to go to my doctor and say "Well, I've been doing this highly scientific internet quiz and apparently I've got a problem".

sexually inexperienced, kinky and unhorny

i'd worry, too. that looks terrible, like a court-appointed psychiatrist's description of a serial killer.

I haven't been because I said I'm the Hamburglar. Well, and I posted just about the most unflattering picture of myself that I could've that doesn't feature my bare ass.

There was something about the conjunction of the name and photo with funlover1209 that was immensely depressing.

It's sad the way she's saying "no no! I'm not actually an ugly old hag!" and then the larger version of her picture doesn't work.

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 31 May 2004 20:18 (twenty-two years ago)

cupid is a rotten bastard. according to him i'm an immoral, unadventurous bookworm who can't handle math, n. is a serial killer waiting to happen, phil is a walking disaster... do we need this kind of abuse?

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 31 May 2004 20:18 (twenty-two years ago)

It says I'm an unloving slut, which kinda cheers me so I think I have to say YES! to your question.

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 31 May 2004 20:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes Lauren, we surely do.

I also love that one of funlover1209's dealbreakers is: "What do you think of the prospect of having sexual intercourse while wearing some type of costume(fur-suit, sci-fi costume, clown suit, whatever)."

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 31 May 2004 20:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Ha ha - another one is: "Would you ever sleep with a serial killer?"

But what is the correct response?

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 31 May 2004 20:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I have found my new boyfriend on okcupid!

Unfortunately he lives in America, he has a girlfriend, and I think he only goes out with Christians. Oh well.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 31 May 2004 20:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I said "yes" to that one and said "yes" for my ideal mate but it wasn't too important.

I wonder if funlover asked that because she's wearing a Clarissa Dickson Wright mask in her picture?

Unless she's very rich, I suppose.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 08:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, but if you say "She wooed me!" and then post a link to her profile, it is kinda wrong. Perhaps she doesn't want the whole world to know she wooed you, even though her profile is public. I at least feel guilty for doing that.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 08:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I take your point, but I think a woo is such low-level interaction that it's OK, unless the report is followed by a "not if she was the last woman on earth!" type nasty comment.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 08:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I agree I don't think wooes are anything to be taken seriously, but i wouldn't mind getting at least one DO YOU HEAR ME PEOPLE!!

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 08:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeh, is exactly why I'm not posting a link just yet. It's an abuse of trust and as if being on these kinds of sites isn't embarassing enough for some people, having your profile and photo paraded around a googlable discussion board is pretty fucked.

I will however post a link to the profile if you really want, as a sharing gesture if and when i feel it is the right thing to do.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 09:54 (twenty-two years ago)

The website isn't real! It's a consensual hallucination!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 09:57 (twenty-two years ago)

oh yeh!

― dog latin (dog latin), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 10:46 (twenty-two years ago)

then again, i might not be real so what the hell... i'm not taking myself as i make out so don't worry too much.

― dog latin (dog latin), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 10:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't understand your modern cybersex talk.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 10:55 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm not taking myself as i make out so don't worry too much.
that's got to go in the top ten most dubious typos of all time. I meant to say:

i'm not taking myself as seriously as i make out so don't worry too much.

I'm somewhat disturbed by the blokes i'm being matched to - far too many spotty herberts in baseball caps.

one of my top local matches is creating his own major on dandyism at nyu. i think that he and my other top local match (jarvis the zine-maker) should bypass me altogether and get married to each other.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 14:16 (twenty-two years ago)

hey you guys should match me.. i'm "kenjuggle"

woo me baby

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 14:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm working on an exciting flamewar with some prick in Florida who apparently

'just wooed you on accident. i just found this site on ILM and it is gay. anyway, you look fake in your picture. um, ok, thanks, bye.'

Such poetry from an ILMer, who'd 'a' thunk it?

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 14:34 (twenty-two years ago)

two more unsolicited woos this morning, including a random note from a girl in tampa bay saying simply "go lightning go." is she doing this to everyone?

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 14:48 (twenty-two years ago)

well the pic is three years old or so isn't it liz ;)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 14:51 (twenty-two years ago)

i think i've been too honest in my answers, for example question "do you have a nice ass?" i answered "needs work". i don't think i'm playing this game right am i?

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 14:51 (twenty-two years ago)

no. you are special :-)

― dog latin (dog latin), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 14:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Hahaha Carsmile yes. I like to think of it as my first novel's back cover image.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 14:55 (twenty-two years ago)

It's a really beautiful photo, Liz!

I have still had no wooing at all, unsurprisingly.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 16:42 (twenty-two years ago)

'just wooed you on accident. i just found this site on ILM and it is gay. anyway, you look fake in your picture. um, ok, thanks, bye.'

That could be almost any ilm poster, sad to say.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 16:47 (twenty-two years ago)

my last post was directed at mark p - not Ste, but it worked anyway.

― dog latin (dog latin), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 17:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I am "definitely" less cruel than that bastard Ken Chu. Only 63% match.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 22:02 (twenty-two years ago)

can a more reasonable person than i please dissuade me of the notion that perhaps less is more?

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 22:04 (twenty-two years ago)

It looks like images are working for me again - so I'm re-hooked on these dumb-ass questions for a bit. It's a little freaky that Martin and Carsmile have appeared in my top twenty world matches now.

― Kim (Kim), Thursday, 3 June 2004 02:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Someone finally asked Brianatrans to stop uploading pictures! I'm peeing my pants. I wrote the dude who did it ( http://www.okcupid.com/profile?tuid=13839554931692968866) to thank him and he replied "im just doing my part to keep this interweb superwebsite on the right track, even if it does mean pissing off transvestites all over the world."

― Bryan (Bryan), Thursday, 3 June 2004 05:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm disillusioned by this site now. I'm not really trying hard enough, story of my life.

its not too late

― charltonlido (gareth), Thursday, 3 June 2004 08:46 (twenty-two years ago)

perhaps what is more important to gareth is less important to jel?

some of the profiles are just unbelievable. novelist's field day kind of stuff. i start to get paranoid and think "maybe half of these are carefully crafted piss-takes." and, well, i'm sure many of them are. but some are just SO CRAZY and i always remember that truth is stranger than fiction, occam's razor blah blah. besides, it's more interesting to believe. so with all that in mind. check this out.

I've just looked at OK Cupid for the first time. I didn't register, but I took the Slut Test. I am 40% slut, which makes me sluttier than ppl at every one of America's Top Colleges with the exception of Columbia.

― MarkH (MarkH), Sunday, 19 September 2004 15:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Ok Cupid called me a 46% slut and an economic liberal. I don't think I think economic liberal means the same thing as they think it does though. Still no woos.

I just took the Alcohol Test and I am quite satisfied with the result:

"The Party-er

Your alcoholism index is 50%

Good news, you animal! You are The Party-er. You drink alcohol sometimes, and you might even like to get wasted on occasion. It appears, however, you are not an alcoholic. "

Yes, the fish are nice, and the peanut butter is better. But you know all about that, don't you? I'm proud of you, you can exist in a little bubble of weirdness so many lesser people dream about. Just remember that if you push it too far, the bastards will try and lock you up.... haha! Let them try! "
