Fun with #OkCupid: 3 different emails ... 3 different responses

First up, if you haven't read my OKC profile - you can check it out over yonder. Might make some sense to the things guys reply to, haha. But for reals, these are all actual emails I've received recently, and my actual responses back to them. It is through this transparent experience that I hope you all can take away some knowledge on what works and what doesn't in the hopes of making your online dating experiences that much more fanschmastically awesome. YAYYYY ONLINE DATING YAYYY!!! K ... cool ... here we go ...

Eeh, this comes off as superly duperly cocky. "I don't think you could handle a date with me?" I would DIE before I ever sent that to a guy. Given, I have had my own douchey moments, but this one does nothing for me. 

Had he opened with, wow! Look at our compatibility (which to be honest wasn't even that high)! I'm moving back to LA in August, want to grab a drink? 

That would have worked. 

But also, why the fuck are you making plans in January for August? This is making my head hurt. I want to leave now. 

Actual Response: None

This is cool - he's complimentary, but outside of that does nothing for me. "If interested love to hear from you"? Fuck that shit man - grow a pair and say, I'm free this week - what's your schedule like, let's grab a drink!! None of this tip toeing around things ... it's OKC!!! Clearly I am on here because I am looking for a date, so go for it! 

Actual Response: None

Eh? What is this? ::facepalm::

Actual Response: None

Not a good week for me on OKC dudes. Not a good week ::sigh::
