Ok. My profile says I am more ambitious, and therefore it has also predicted the fact that I believe I must, absolutely MUST achieve a 100% profile. How dare it say that I am only 86% complete! So I am going to be a clever little girl and repeat my previous long post through the technically difficult process of copy and paste, therby achieving another precious 2%. Hoorah!


Alright, here goes, a rant on OkCupid about the parts of the site that I dont like. Original, eh? Well, this is more specifically about the other people using the site, and the many ways in which they annoy me.

One of these many annoyances is Instant Messaging, concerning the content of the messages and the level of the other person's profile. I find that many of the people who IM me have little to no content on their profile, which basically defeats the whole premise of this site and is lazy. I presume that people who decide to start a conversation with me are doing so based on the content of my profile, which I have tried to show my personality through by the explicit content and also subtle humour, thus showcasing my many, many talents, as well as my modesty. If the written profile is not the reason for the messaging, then I presume that my pictures are the superficial reason. But, whatever, my point is this, why think that you can decide to message someone based on their profile, and then expect them to repond when you have put little effort into your own? I like to know what kind of person I am talking to, points of interst I could discuss with them, or even if I shouldn't bother wasting my time. It all just seems a little hypocritical and somewhat predatory, and I've had enough!

Second point of contention: IM content. OK, if someone actually bothers to read through my profile before they talk to me then they should notice several things, firstly, I'm Seeing Someone. Also, I'm not here to talk dirty.
If during the course of the conversation you ask if I'm still seeing someone, cool, that's fine. But, totally disregarding it and then teling me how cute, attractive, etcetera you think I am, and think it will lead somewhere, think again.

I do enjoy talking to people, and as long as they respect what I have already told them in my profile, then I will talk to them. I KNOW this is supposed to be a dating site, but I do like the tests and have made some good friends through this site.

There is so much more I could say, but ranting truly is exhausting.

So, anyone, agree/disagree with what I have said? Bring it on!

Update: Now I have had someone message me saying that essentially my comment about people who want a Visa is racist or something... now I dont know what to do. Basically nothing I say on my profile is heeded, or it is taken out of context.

*Breaks down sobbing, curls up into fetal position*

But, this site must be doing something right, as I met the 'Someone' I am 'Seeing' through OkCupid.

I just did my own MatchMe test, I have the great score of 48%, yet my profile says I am a 95% match to myself, and 98% friend.

Go figure.
