Everyone has all of these stories from the dating website OkCupid. I've joined a couple of times, and I haven't got story one to tell. I was honest, posted pics, tried not to be a creeper. Know what happened? I got a lot of pageviews from douche-y people--specifically couples who had a ton of superficial crap on their pages. Basically they all said "no butch girls, no tomboys, no fatties." Well, fudge...what're you looking at my page for? I would always wonder, especially considering our compatibility scores were so low!
Speaking of compatibility, the highest scores were well into the 90's. Not a word from any of these people. They too were all over the page, checking a dame out. I think the one time a lady who was a lawyer gave me a howdy do. She said I was nice, she told me about herself, and I replied. What happened next? Nothing. It just went flat. I mean, what's creepy about saying I think it's awesome she represents children in cases? What's odd about saying her job is admirable? Isn't that how you start conversation?
After weeks of nothing, I was so unhappy that I put my page on invisible. After a month of consideration, I simply deleted my account. I kinda just sat in silence, wondering what the heck was so bland about the kid while other people had all these interesting stories about creepers, neckbeards, and fedora-wearing pigs. Oh...wait....that's a bad thing isn't? I probably don't want a misogynist jerk coming into my inbox telling me how much feminists and womanists suck. I probably don't want a racist telling me the amount of melanin in my skin makes me inferior. Oh...and, I probably don't want some fat-phobic, body-shaming individual telling me what I oughta do to get rid of these pounds.
The thing is, it seems like the atmosphere of OkCupid is so mixed up. I keep hearing stories that it's a great place to meet friends. But on the other hand, it's this cesspool of jerks, racists, sexists, and creepers. So, should we be casting Ultima to get rid of it? Should we be releasing the Tonberry to stabbity stab it until HP reaches zero?
The only reason I came back was because of the positive stories. I kept hearing about how it was great for bisexuals and great for just making friends. So, I tried that. I decided to weed out all the insanity by creating specific visibility settings. I made it so I was only there to make friends, and only there to meet people who were either gay or bi. I felt like that would erase the immaturity and drama. Aside from being a scary catbear beast, why else would there be silence? Was I too specific?
Perhaps so. I'll never know, 'cause that's the site that broke the 64-bit camel's back. After that failure, I decided to exit from the date site scene. It works for a chosen million, but this lady has always had very, very strange luck. It's usually when I'm not looking when I make a friend, get the next boyfriend, encounter the next adventure. So, that's just the way it is. :)
