I made an account about a week ago to accompany my PoF.com profile (same SN as on here). It was pretty amusing answering all of the questions, although I probably should have made some private. I have talked to a few girls, but most of them have been flaky or just psycho. I did have a promising one a few days ago, but she said she was just looking for friends. That fact really irks me. Her and many other girls will go on there and clearly make a profile to find someone but then say they are only looking for firends. That accompanied with the multitude of girls that post that they don't want to hook up, but ignore guys that make a genuine effort to talk to them. They really should lower their expectations and realize that most of the hot guys on there can find women easily in person and probably are only on there to get some outside of their local area. I'm starting to wonder if that's all most of the girls want too...
I would consider dating women in their 30s if I didn't feel far too childish and at a different point in life than they might be looking for.

when i first created an OKC profile a few weeks back there was about 15 women who viewed my profile before i had even filled any of it out, other than a photo.
now that I filled it out no one has even viewed my profile in the last week.
I have yet to lie and say i have a job and make $40,000-50,000 per year, i'm sure that will change things.
---------
when i was living on the east coast there was a 10:1 male to female ratio within 50 miles of my location, and there was literally only 20 women within 25 miles of my location so as you can imagine there would have been no responses.
I did message more than a few who lived back in my home town and there was nothing there either during those three years.
there is still nothing here for me.
lesson learned: people are damn picky.
oh, forgot to mention, did you know half of America is single?

In my experience, I meet two types of people online: either those who are geniuses compared to me (like the guy who finished 2 bachelors and one masters degree in four years...while still being a great pianist/organist and doing loads of performances)...or those who are so intellectually vacuous that they bore me.
I'm very thankful for meeting the former types of people. Meeting greater people than myself makes me happy.
Regarding relationships, though...sex sites are better. It seems that people are more open to my personality and many quirks if they're also very attached to my body/image. Not that I'll bed them very quickly, though. Maybe.
Of course, very small sample size in my case. |

Meh, it worked for a little bit. I mostly got creepers though. My last ex was from there. He was on probation for the rape of his ex girlfriend. I didn't discover this until much later and it completely changed the tone of the relationship. That and his mother hated me so we broke up. Since then I haven't had a date from there and I'm fine with that. I have a bf now that I met through my friend.  |

| I am and things did not work with the first guy I met from there, but I met someone else and things seem to be going better.....though I am kinda worried he could find someone better because I don't feel I have much to offer, I mean I don't even have a job or a degree or anything to really say 'oh look I've accomplished something and am not a total loser'. But for now I've enjoyed hanging out with this dude and I hope maybe we can come to some sort of conclusion that involves not going our separate ways. |

I salute you all. I have no idea what to put on my profile! I'm so introverted that *anything* seems like too much information / a blatant attempt to sell someone a false set of goods.
Plus, the things I like doing, that I'm good at, no one is likely to care about (I say that not because I'm not proud of myself but because I have distinctly loner, girl hobbies). And how to let people know that you want someone smart, without sounding snobby/elitist about it? I suck at stuff like this.
What do you do? Just start with a verbal dump of everything and then revise, revise, revise?
I had one on Match years ago but I never seemed to target the right people with it.
It's difficult, too, because I'm in my 40s and have dependent children and don't want to date someone more than 5 years older than me (unless we really clicked, but I just don't see it happening).
Any suggestions? I do like that OKC seems to have a more eclectic set of people. |

I referenced some of my interests in my profile. Just some music and movie quotes along with some very general bs. Don't put anything and everything on there, just keep it focused and concise. |

I mostly just listed a few of my more interesting interests and a very short list of my desirable quality's.
