Member of OkCupid off and on since before it was known as OkCupid (back in the SparkMatch days). Contrary to popular belief, I've had some luck on the site, including at least one long term relationship. There have been things throughout the years that make me laugh by the way people present themselves on the site, from pictures to profile content, nothing is safe. I have a secret love affair with eyebrows. I also have an interest in effeminate males and masculine females (I am in no way calling them ugly). Anyhow, I introduce you to my OkCupidisms. Interactions with OkCupidians, and other amusing things I've witnessed on the site (OkCupid.com). Enjoy!

I joined Ok Cupid in February with the sole purpose of getting over someone who did not return my feelings.

That might have been the worst decision of my adult life. Fast-forward 5 months and I have not met anyone worth dating from the site (in fact it has made my self-esteem even lower than low, what with all the ignored messages and shallow gene pool suitors) and I’m still not over this idiot. I can not fucking move on. What a big hot pile of shit this situation is. I could not hate myself more right now.

Hi there! I’m not here to fart rainbows or anything…but I was on OkCupid off and on since I was 18 (I’m 27 now). I had one long term relationship that lasted a year, and it was also the worst relationship of my life. It took me about 2 1/2 years to heal from the damage of that relationship. Anyhow, since that relationship ended about 3 1/2 years ago, I’d only dated one guy more than once, and that went on for 3 months, met him on Match.com. After that ended, I was just like “meh, whatever.”

Tried OkCupid again, no luck.
Even paid for eHarmony, ZERO luck. I met one guy on that site, that on our first phone conversation he told me how he cheated on his last serious girlfriend…I was like “oh, well let’s put him over in the reject pile.” That happened in May.
I was about to give up again, when I signed back up on OkCupid for the lol factor (I made a blog on here, OkCupidisms about my interactions with other users on the site). I got a random message on June 26th from a guy in my area, asking me for profile advice.

On July 16th we went out on our first date. I’ve seen him 5 or 6 times since then, and we’re both pretty smitten for each other.

I guess what I’m really trying to say (I said I wasn’t going to fart rainbows)… Is that it really does seem like when you’re ready to give up, there it comes. People always told me this, and I always told them “stfu!” …and yet, here I am. Having a boyfriend now. lol

Good luck with everything. :) I enjoy reading your tumblr, btw. :) <3
