OKC in the house?

I'm indigos_child on okc though I generally leave my account 'disabled' these days after reaching total poly saturation. The one and only person I've met from okc is completely amazing, my N=1 for what it's worth.

I'm 'Pointyleaf' on OKC, checked a few of you out just a couple days ago (and a few of you looked back!). DW and I are relatively new to OKC, having joined about 6 weeks ago. We're in an annoying situation, since we're going to graduate school in different towns, but she's having some luck with OKC.

Hmm. I coulda swore I had an old profile for polyamory.com and had posted once or twice before, but maybe not. Or I just couldn't find it. In any case, /wave.
 
Oh, I'm the same username on OKC. Have to visit some of you people now that I know.

Oh, and I met a couple of people there. Mixed results, but I've only been on for a month or so.

Same nic there are here.

Most places online I am either Breathesgirl or Breathes_girl. Apparently some name generators won't accept anything but alphanumeric characters :(.

I get totally and utterly frustrated with OKC, casual kiss, collarme, fetlife and a couple of others. Most of them are just meat markets and I am NOT a piece of meat!

I refuse to frequent FL any more. To me it is more of a drama inducing experience & I am NOT into drama, lol. Unles they've changed I don't see my returning any time in the near future.

PMM and this board are the two places I'm most comfortable because they don't feel like meat markets so I spend most of my 'looking' time there.
 
mae1str0m on okcupid. Still no pic posted as my wife and I are at the information stage and not actively looking for anything. Heck we don't even know. I also know a couple of people at work on the site, so I am not sure how public we want to be. Ironically, when we are out everyone knows...but something about advertising online that takes it to a new level.

I am on fetlife too...ariakas there. Not very active there, more interested in finding munches etc.
 
I was using Superjast as a profile name on there, but felt the need to change it. So I am on there, anyone who wants to know us, can message and ask. :)

Yep I'm on there. Same name as here. I don't really use it to meet people though. Meeting through the Internet isn't really my thing. Plus I go on there any everyone local who seems interesting I already know irl!

I had one for a couple of years and recently deleted it because I met someone I wanted to show I was commited to us developing a friendship. Funny, I had been approached several times from couples and it freaked me out... I guess I was thinking they were looking for threesomes rather than a poly relationship.
Ignorance is NOT bliss!!
I put much work into that profile too. :(

Of course understanding a threesome can still be poly :D ;)...just saying

LOL... yessss.... understood! :p Not my cup o tea... and still poly green...
 
Well that was fun looking at everyone's profiles. :D
 
quick bump, and possible topic revitalization.

Bump.


I'm on okcupid also. under claireinPH (I live in Palm Harbor,FL)

I'm the 50 year old female who just visited most of the OKC posted profiles this morning. We've got a pretty amazing group of people here. Good looking, talented, well read, interesting...

The profiles tend to be much more descriptive than the local men that I've been perusing.

What info do you find important in profiles? What advice do you have for profiles? What works? What doesn't? When is a profile too long? This is the third profile I've done. Plenty of Fish, and DateHookup were good practice. I used a photo this time, (I am still job hunting, and hate that my photo is out there.. but ...) I need a better photo. --- Hope to snag someone at the Bound Love meeting Thursday night and ask them to shoot me.

I'm open to any feedback about my profile. Frankly, I'm exploring poly. I hope my profile reflects that-- so it is a different focus than a solid poly, who knows what they are seeking. I've never had a poly relationship.. but I know several people in functioning, long term poly relationships. I actually want to be a secondary, but that's another story.

Do we want to move this to a new thread? (I'm a mod in another group... feel free to move this post/split it into two & move half.)
 
I really enjoyed was reading the OKC blog. I'm a math geek, so my opinion might not be shared, but I loved their discussion of what works in profiles and messages and what doesn't. As I had never tried online dating before, it seemed useful.

I find myself far more likely to message or response to someone whose profile makes me laugh. When I read a profile, I want feel like I'm hearing the writer's voice. I don't like it when someone's profile reads entirely differently then their messages. Length isn't a problem, either way, to me.

I have very good luck with OKC. I messaged with a couple of people and within a month of joining, I started seeing someone regularly. We've been together for almost six months.

Good luck with both online dating and the whole poly thing.
