So OKCupid does the whole match thing.

Great. Grand. Wonderful.

Why doesn't the database cull dead profiles? In my quiver today, all three entries hadn't been online in at LEAST a year. If I am looking for a match, what good does that do me? Its awesome they were matched, but its useless if the person effectively no longer exists on this corner of the internet. I know their database can do it.

Oh, and one other thing... I appreciate (honestly) the users who put on their pages that they are here for the tests or whatever, but the people who put 'Message me if you want to.' If someone messages you, then they wanted to. Which, in I would estimate 95% of cases, means they want you to message back. So change your profile, or MESSAGE THEIR ASS BACK. Even if to say "Not interested, FOAD." At least you were nice enough to let them know.

I'm known for being social/political in blogs. Heres my take on nerds.

I consider myself a nerd/geek. Theres too much bleed-through to look at only one, so for all intents and purposes, the following applies to how you see it.

As I see it, here are your three breeds of Nerd

1.)Super Nerd: The rarest breed. This species of nerd is elusive in the wild. They are found online in small herds. offline, they ar found in groups no larger than 4, though usually reclusive. This breed is considered too nerdy for public safety, and naturally protect the public from themselves. This breed is the most demonstartive of the term, "basement dweller".

2.)Arrogent Nerd: This species is very common, though less seen in the wild. They are apotted quickly in corporate environments, and occasionally in local watering holes. Their traits typically include a pretentios attitude concerning their knowlede in technology, and an air of power because they work with Linux. Again, a reclusive species, though very common to the untrained observer.

3.)Nervous Nerd: The most common nerd species. though the least elusive, they are the least seen. They recognize their position in IT, but are humble. Of the species, they are the most likely to talk to non-nerds, and the most likely to stumble in speech (especially the males). This species is frustrated easily with other races out of thier caliber, but fast to step up to teach, or take a neutral position. This species is the most resillint to rejection, but ironically the least likely to experiance it. Deep emotion is required, as this breed is usually paranoid and willing to sacrifice anything for survival.

If you are dating a nerd/geek, hold on to them. Yes, they aren't perfect. But the chances of you finding someone more devoted (assuming you aren't a bitch/asshole to them). Give us a chance. As a whole, we are socially inept. We try, but we usually fuck it up.

The good guys that fines last? They're nerds. Give them some love. They guy/girl you didnt want to talk to? give them a shot. You never know.

And as a guy, we love it when you make the first move. It cuts out some social pressures.

This site seems to be decent at matching people with like personalities and interests. One way it seems to perform this voodoo magic is through questions, many of which are posted by the users of the site.

I'm cool with that. It giver a better idea of the minds that use the site and their... sometimes VERY specific... interests, morals, and absolutes.

But seriously, what the hell is up with some of them? I can see questions on monogamy, spirituality, kinky shit, but some of these questions seem so random. You may get a dozen in a row asking about how you feel about single parents, and promescuity, and promisuous single parents, and then... BAM! You get hit with

Question: Which of the following would you prefer?
A) Be skinned alive
B) Be sodimized by a 300lb inmate named Duke for a week

Or
C)Ride a desert cactus, thorns and all, like a horse

Yeah, I just made that up. But if you've answered more than 50 questions, you know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, this was more of a rant then a blog. Feel free to post similar banter here.
