On Sending Mail Into the Void
May 8, 2007
I'm not sure if there's some glaring error in my profile or if I'm sending some subconscious signals in my messages, but really, the rate of return on messages sent out into the okcupid void is starting to feel even lower than craigslist. Out of some 50 messages sent out in the past month or so, 1 or 2 replies is pretty slim pickings. I must say, it's a bit dissapointing putting work into looking up interesting people, often with high match percentages, carefully reading their profiles and constructing a well thought out message saying hello. Maybe okcupid is like craigslist, flooded with guys. My female friends who have accounts here seem to suffer from an endless deluge, often unable to keep their mailboxes from filling up. I mean, hell, I had better luck with myspace back in the old days of pre-corporate myspace (though nowadays, I avoid that place). Really, I might as well give up, as I'm obviously not up to snuff for the people of okcupid.

Maybe you just need to work on targetting the kind of person that would want to talk to you, with a message that you'd want your kind of person to appreciate.
