Teh Internets Ok, Cupid!
posted by August 19 at 12:00 PM
onThis lady lists a few introductory e-mails she’s received from guys on OK Cupid. I can’t believe that any guy would think that this introduction, received out of the blue…
…would actually work. I don’t know whether the emoticon makes it worse or better, or what, exactly, ‘worse’ and ‘better’ mean in this context.

That approach seemed to work for Javier Bardem's character in Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
Uh, wow, awkward.

I have gotten the strangest responses ever on okcupid, including a guy who ended his email with "*poof*"
WTF does *poof* mean?!
That girl's blog is hilarious!
Read the I-am-your-nemesis, so let's meet and battle for the fate of the universe come-on letter.
Paul, I know you're out of play , but please, please, please write a personal ad for OK Cupid-like site, just to publish here. Your brain delights and I would positively swoon at the thought of a Paul Constant personal ad.
@3, *poof* refers to disappearing in a cloud of smoke. He's a huge dork and you're better off not answering.
At least the guy at UW with the fox ears and the tail was a reasonable writer.
Emoticon + awkward come-on + "Humorous" reference to assault with a deadly weapon = disturbingly insensitive to social mores.
15 words and a smiley face can convey a lot of helpful information.
OKCupid is free, isn't it? This is definitely a case of getting what you pay for.
"The hammer is my penis."
"The hammer is my microscopically small penis".
"Poof" to me sounds more like "I am a huge flaming poof" which is not something boys want to be telling girls they're propositioning.
I have to recommend OK Cupid, and am living with the bf I got on that site, since a year ago today, am happy etc. What can I say? The thing is, I started out in a tiny town in AK, and did not get a lot of letters, but I liked this one guy's profile and started as penpals with him, and it went from there. That's maybe a better system, gals - don't wait for some guy who likes your picture, just trawl for the fellas yourself, and write THEM.
@10, I think I love you! The status is not quo!
I really want a t-shirt that says
"The Hammer Is My Penis"
