Seriously, what is up with the stupid messages? Just. Stop.

Dating Site Pet Peeves

Pictures: Is it so hard to post a few clear, current photos of oneself, and have at least one be full body? I see far too many blurry pics. Photos with groups (it's never the cute one). Older photos from years ago (it's a dating site. I don't care what you looked like 10 years ago). Pictures where a person is clearly trying too hard, and it comes off as pathetic. Unnatural poses (all pics are angeled from above and/or only of a certain side of the face). Filtered and photoshopped to the point no one will recognize them in person. I don't want to be surprised by what someone really looks like if we meet up.

Pointless messages: "hru", "hey", "sup"... You get the idea. If you can't take a couple minutes to look at my profile, and find a subject to start an actual conversation with, then don't bother messaging me... or anyone.

Profile Info: There is the lack of info, "Just ask.".... No. One of the useful things with the dating site is to see upfront if we have anything in common. On the flip side, there are those who put too much info, and usually get repetitive. I don't need your entire life story, just some basic info, and an idea of what kind of person you may be. The bitter profile... Dude, you're clearly not in a good place. Maybe don't try dating right now.

When you’re scrolling quickly and you think you got a message from Burton Guster. 😂

[adventures-on-okc-blog]

This is a guys okc picture.... 😂

[adventures-on-okc-blog]

Well since you asked, strange man I have never talked to, I will totally relocate. Just for you. 😒

Just got a message from this guy. I've seen his profile before and swiped left because... well... Where do I start? Typos and such happen, but this is is a 35 year old man who sucks incredibly bad at spelling and grammar. It explains why he's so angry about girls who want to text a little first... On that note... Dude, calm down. He is looking for "Manly a non smoker"... Why did that make me laugh so much?

[adventures-on-okc-blog]

I get that you're new, but you clearly don't want to fill out your profile. Why even bother to join okc? There is a profile for a reason.

[adventures-on-okc-blog]

It's a dating site. You WILL be judged on your photos. Deal with it, or get off the site. How are people who are NOT talking to you and not taking the time to get to know you, wasting your time and stringing you along? THEY ARE NOT EVEN TALKING TO YOU, IDIOT! Also, stop being so defensive and pissy on a dating site. It's not attractive.

This was part of the profile of the facebook friend guy who messaged me on okc. This is one of those things I hate. Yeah, we've all been screwed over. Some relationships don't work. It happens. You can love someone, then things change, maybe you grow too far apart. Maybe you're really an abusive asshole and they couldn't take it any longer (all of his exes have accused him of abuse). Get over it and move on. If you're on a dating site whinging about it then you're not ready to date again. Also, he repeatedly says hes a sweet guy in his profile. Someone who calls themselves sweet that often is probably lying.

[adventures-on-okc-blog]

Well, strange man I have never talked to before. This clearly sounds like a great idea... be right over! Like... seriously? Does this work? Ugh.

[adventures-on-okc-blog]

If I am dating someone and he says this to me, that's perfectly normal and acceptable. When a random stranger messages me this out of nowhere, it is creepy. I am not your sweetheart.

Geek Test

My profile makes it pretty clear that I'm a nerd/geek... "I read your profile and I love geeky/nerdy girls, they are the interesting girls, the rest bore the hell outta me, lol. Geek test (since you can google this stuff, you have to be honest with yourself here), what is the Lick King's actual name before he went bad? What was Han Solo before he became a smuggler? What race made the first contact with humans in the Star Trek universe? What is the name of the saga that Game of Thrones if from? What is the name of the closest star to us (other than the our sun)?" I'll over look the typos, even though in the answers to his questions he says typos/spelling mistakes annoy him. What annoys me about this is being "tested". I might take fun geeky quizzes online every now and then, but this just seems...I don't know. It's kinda like he is saying, "Oh, you're a girl geek, let's see if that is true!"

Married, but...

A message fron a turd on OKC... "I AM MARRIED……but my wife had chemo and is no longer interested in sex. I was looking for a woman that can be discreet and is not getting the sex she needs from her significant other. If interested in talking about meeting up, please reply with questions. A photo will be sent to an email address as long as you have a photo too. Although I am older, my sex drive is still going strong. I will reply honestly to all questions."

[adventures-on-okc-blog]

Guys, seriously. Please stop sending these pointless messages. I’d be shocked if anyone actually replies. A good 80% of my inbox looks like this.

Another 5% are ones who think they are being original, but its clear they copy & pasted same generic message to all. 5% more are the pervs. Then the rest are guys making an actual effort and clearly read the profile.

[adventures-on-okc-blog]

This guy sent me a message. If you have time to read profiles, and send messages, maybe you could fill out some info on your profile first.

I mean, he can’t possibly think I’ll respond, right? He knows plenty about me, as my profile has decent info, I answered match questions, and I have various pictures up.

*sigh*

[adventures-on-okc-blog]

I bet this dude has some facial distortions he is trying to hide under that thing. 🙄

[adventures-on-okc-blog]

That moment when someone sends a message I actually didn’t hate, profile looks decent, and he looked attractive and all I can think is…. “What the hell is wrong with him? He is clearly damaged somehow.” lol
