Fun with #OKCupid: These didn't get a response

Alrite, so ya'll know I'm conducting a pretty rad experiment on OkCupid; documenting not only my experience in the virtual dating realm, but specifically highlighting what works and what doesn't ... here is some of the latest and greatest:

 

 

 

Um, world optimization??? This is too generic for my taste!

 

1. typo - this is a potential date with a nerd ... check yo self! 2. Relaxing Sunday?!?! What is relaxing about my life!?!?!?  ... This dude asked me what my "webpage was all about."

 

INTO computers?!?! I started typing at 2, and had my own computer company at 8. Yes, I am "into" them ... #facepalm

 

I'm honestly getting really bored with #OkCupid. It's not that I think the guys aren't fab, because trust - I've had some pretty AWESOME dates from OKCupid, but come onnnnnnn!!! I'm a NERD!!! At least be technologically creative in some capacity when it comes to sweeping me off my feet ... and not just clearing my cache.

 

All this is just getting *yawn* BOORRINNNGGGGGG

Actual Text Message: #OkCupid

The following is an actual text message I received from a guy I went out on a date with from #OkCupid:

 

 

What he said: "Sorry I never heard back from you after your NY trip; hope it went well. If you ever want to hang out again, feel free to gimme a call."

 

What I heard: Sorry I never heard back from you after your NY trip. You said you would text, or call me when you got back ... and you didn't you stupid cunt. I now have to say that I hope it went well, when really I'm just being polite. If you ever want to hang out again, cause we totally had fun and now you're being a stupid bitch by not returning my call, feel free to gimme a call, cause I'm totally available and only knitting my cat a new sweater for the next lunar cycle.

 

 

 

Passive aggressive moaning and groaning. For reals ... really liked this dude. Then again, I kinda really liked almost everyone I've gone out on a date with on OKC. But comeeee onnnnn mannnn!!! This is sooooo the fastest way to never hear from me again. I am so busy right now, I'm surprised my head hasn't gone all Linda Blair and shit. I didn't respond to his text. I do get where he was trying to go with it in theory ... but I also cut out the bullshit and just get right to the chase. I can already tell so much about this guy in this text alone.

 

Here's an example of what would have gotten a response:

 

Hey Jen, hope you had fun in NY - free tonight for a drink?

 

BAMMMMM!!!! Totally would have responded to that. But the other?? No, thanks! Sorry ... calling a spade a spade ... and you sir, are a spade!

Fun with #OkCupid: really dude, really?

I'm pretty convinced this guy just wanted to be featured on TNTML ...

 

 

The whole nice shoes wanna fuck thing only works if you catch a chick 30 beers in at the bar. That line's rate of effectiveness on OKC with this nerdy chick = 0%. Lo siento mucho el non-nerderino!!!
