Your most recent OKC messages. post em here!

I'm a man, so I don't get very many unsolicited messages (judging from what I've read here and elsewhere, this is a good thing), but the ones that I do get are often gems. And by "gems" I mean "what is this I don't even." Check out this one I got yesterday:

hi u have good dogs with great smiles. i see you are married but cupid is not for married so why are ur dogs so happy?

I have my dogs in one of my photos, but...great smiles? And what would my marriage have to do with my dogs? Do you want to date my dogs? We're kind of a combo package.
 
:D "Ruff" means yes, "Ruff ruff" means no.
 
"Hi."

From a 58% match from South Africa, 38 with a pic that looks like a 20-something year old.

Makes me wonder if there are really enough desperate guys out there to make it worth a scammer's time.

Yes, I think there are. And surprisingly many are willing to part with some of their money after some shortish online conversation... definitely worth the scammer's time.

Yeah, watching my ex go through this was really sad.

He's got issues and they are pretty glaringly obvious, and he's not the best looking man. A friend of mine who had met him once said he was "creepy." I guess.

He had women reject him and reject him. Say they just wanted to be friends when that was just their nice way of saying "Actually I don't want to date you or anything, like...at all." And did the thing of messaging lots of women and getting very little response.

So when a gorgeous woman like an exotic model, photographed on a balcony looking like it was a tropical resort in the background, started talking to him...she said she was Turkish and she'd come to be living in Denver. She talked to him for a few weeks. Then she was flying back to Turkey to visit her family. They she tells him some story that her family doesn't want to let her leave, but she wants to come back to America, but she can only do it if he will wire her money for the flight...

I had been skeptical since the very first message...but he let her string him along all the way until she asked for money. That's why it's so sad...because I'm like, "uh...I think this is a scammer" and he's like, "why, you think I can't get a beautiful woman's attention!?!?" Um...*cringe & shrug*...

Then there were more than one real life local woman who was addicted to pain pills and tried to cozy up to him because he is a disabled vet.

He also almost got taken for a Craigslist scam.

Much as I am damn glad he's not my husband anymore most of the time...I am also glad we still talk and he consults me on these things.
 
Yes, it hurts a lot to be "romanced" by a scammer. I know that from personal experience. :(
 
A question to you all with an active OkC profile - especially if you have had one for a long time. Do you get a lot of "likes" on OkC? Do you pay for the A-list to see who likes you? I have an ever increasing number of "likes" and I have no idea who those people are. I only get to know if it is a mutual like - and it seems that they are very rare. Wonder if those people are the same ones who send all the "Hi how are you?" messages...

I don't pay for the A-list. I do get a few likes, but I'm a guy so a lot of those are probably just scammers. Am I too cynical? LOL

I do use the like function to kind of bookmark people I think I might be interested in while browsing. Then I can go back and more thoroughly study their profile at a later date.
 
I don't pay. I get likes now and then and get emails telling me so, with a picture of the person and a link to their profile. Are you supposed to pay for that feature? Because I'm getting that for free.

I gave the A-list a go a while back, for like a month or so and quit after that. I did it for that exact reason, I was curious to see who were all these people liking my profile. And I can confirm your suspicion at least from my experience, they are often low matches who have just liked how you look. Most of them probably haven't read your profile. The ones that were high matches would also show up in my email or were the kind that I'd probably clicked 'like' anyway, in which case OKC lets both of us know that we've liked each other. OKC does inform you every now and then (if you let it in settings) when someone with a high match likes you, without paying, like Tonberry mentioned. It doesn't do it every time though. But with those two features I don't think the A-list is worth the money.
 
Ah, okay. Just - I don't even show my face on the one picture I have up there. But well... maybe people still just like the looks - or the fact that I am a woman. *shrug* Won't pay for A-list, wasn't really thinking to. Clicking the like button is cheap, maybe not everyone uses it as sparingly as I do.

And yes, I do get emails with links to some high matches who have liked me. So, I guess that is all I need to know :)
 
I don't see the point in paying. At this point, I'm not active on OKC anyway. My *profile* is still active, but I think it's been about 3 weeks since I even logged in on there. I get notifications on my phone if someone likes me or messages me, or even just visits my profile, so once in a while I click those to see who the guy is. But I'm pretty soured on the idea of meeting guys right now, so mostly I'm not bothering on OKC, and I'm probably going to outright delete my other dating site profiles.
 
The last time I used okcupid ( which was a long time ago ) I got a message from a guy and he had a puppet with him in the pictures. It turns out he does one of those shows where he has a comedy chat with the puppet pretending to be the puppet talking etc. Anyway turns out he's really attached to the puppet and date negotiations broke down because he wanted to bring it with him and I was like "NO". His exact words were "if the puppet isn't involved it's not going to work". I don't use okcupid anymore.
 
I got back into OKcupid recently, I'm having a lot of fun :p got this absolutely horrid poem the other day, the emoji's probably wont show up, but read it and imagine every other word is punctuated by an emoji if you can't see them. It's absolutely AWFUL LOLOLOL!!!!

I noticed someone else on facebook in a group I visit got this poem too, so it's a copy paste job, that it seems every woman on okc has probably received.


Single girl, single girl...

But I know that there's so many guys
who'd love to have their wicked way.😈
So single girl, single girl

So excuse me for being brave
but from a spark I can make a flame.🔥

I wish it was ...
simply a simple world,🔤
so simple but it's not,
unless you're out on the town
and in good company
downing lots of shots!🗑
 
Wow. A whole bunch of badly written and heavily emoji'ed words to say, "I want to get you drunk and take your clothes off and somehow I'm different from all the other dudes who want the exact same thing. Whaddya say??"

/facepalm

Have you guys seen this? It's pretty funny. A lady friend of mine, and I, have picked up on a few of the bits from this page and carried them on as inside jokes. One guy a ways back in the posts here said he wanted to turn into a wolf and snuggle some woman's boobies. So that's one we joke about. And then there is the ever common, "And then what? ;)" which we use to respond to all sorts of things...

Why can I picture the Flight of the Conchords singing a song with these lyrics?
 
I was having a pretty alright conversation with this guy and he asked what do I like to do for fun. I went through a list and mentioned board games. When he found out I've never played chess and prefer word games like scrabble and scattergories, he was like "and this is where I say goodbye". Seriously just quit talking to me cause I don't play chess. I'm new to this online dating thing but that was just weird to me. I'm an English major, words are kind of my life.

Hey a deal breaker's a deal breaker. lol

Reminds me of the OKC question:

Did you join okc just to find someone to play chess with?

Yes
