and the stars fell out of the sky

[erika]

I can only handle OKCupid in small doses, to prevent the total and utter destruction of what little ego I have.

So far, in the last 7 days, I have sent
7 messages,
gotten 2 responses,
and of those, I replied to their responses, and I have gotten
0 responses back.

Goddamn, I hate my life sometimes. (In the non-suicidal, normal type of way. Which is a step up.)

Would it be helpful and/or nice to your ego to offer to sleep with you here?

Otherwise, this comment would deliver ice cream, were it able to do so.

YES, ALL OFFERS OF SEX ACCEPTED AND CHERISHED HERE.

[pinesandmaples]

Then I'll offer snuggles, too, just to round out the picture.

ugh, those things are ego shatterers.

-hops plane- I bet it's warmer where you are, too!

[erika]

I know, right? I had a friend go over my profile and she declared it "SUPER normal" so at least I'm not sending out weird people-hating vibes.

[pinesandmaples]

Warmer? Heck yeah!

I got sunburned at the parades on Saturday because I was wearing a t-shirt without sunscreen. Sunday, tank top with sunscreen. Almost warm enough for sex in the pool to go swimming!

Maybe that's the problem. Maybe it should be people-hating. I had the most success with that kind of profile. I met my fiance on okcupid with a profile that others outside of okcupid had described as nothing short of "bitchy" ("Don't you dare write me if you don't know how to use spell check!") -- but I never got a complaint about it from the guys who were reading it. It just cut down on the stupid, "hi. how r u?" messages that were flooding my inbox.

See, I'm wondering that too because like, I don't know if my profile is too generic. I don't get very many unsolicited messages -- maybe like 3 a month, if that many.

Btw you can make an account on Dreamwidth this week without an invite code.
