Post 1 -- Introduction


We all know dating can be difficult. Something even harder? Internet dating… Especially as a woman. There are times when I just want to scream. You have to weed through so many different factors… just by getting little to no information on someone… unless of course they have an extensive profile… which for the most part never happens.

I've used them all, Match.com, eHarmony, Plenty of Fish... The list can go on, and on, and on. Sometimes it can be overwhelming to find a site that works for you. I however have much love for one site and have been an avid user for about 5 years….

OkCupid!


Don’t take that as me being single either for 5 years, I like answering the questions (although I’ve answered them all). Anytime I’m in a relationship I deactivate my account or put my status as seeing someone. Not only is it good for dating, but it’s great for networking and finding people who have similar interests as you. (I move around a lot)

OkCupid uses an interesting algorithm. I’m not going to get into it right now, maybe another day but just to lay down the line, you can find my profile here. Just in case you read this blog, figure out I’m busting your balls, and want to spam me, flame me, whatever me.

In my time on OkC I have had some of the weirdest messages on the planet. Not to mention some of the profiles I have seen… There are no words. So this blog is exactly what it means. I urge you if you have an account to email me some of your horror stories whether you’re a man or a woman. I know going on dates with people from OkC there usually is a conversation at one point about some horror stories. So send em to me at this address. I’ll leave you with my favorite horror story from one of my guy friends

Basically my friend had been talking to this girl on OkC for about a week. She was pretty and had big boobs he said, but she didn’t have any full body shots. All her photos were taken at weird angles

I will interject right there and say if there are no full body shots, or you can’t tell if this person is fit or how you would like them to be RAISE A RED FLAG.. You could get something like this



Or CLOSE YOUR EYES!!! THIS



Regardless they talked about meeting up. When he met this girl (which he did honestly say the only reason why was because she was funny… and her boobs were big… mostly the boobs) she was fucking HUGE…. I mean he said he was shocked, he almost thought it wasn’t her but he knew it was because they mentioned what they would be wearing… He knew then he had to go through with it

Again, I’m really nice and have never walked out or stood a date up, but in a situation like this… where the person COMPLETELY fabricates themselves… I might think about it… ok on I go…

He said it was so bad that the girl was panting and wheezing the entire date. They were in Bean town doing a lot of walking… the craziest thing… he texted his friend and told his friend to call him with an emergency to get out of the rest of the date… which was dinner… He couldn’t put himself through anymore of the turmoil… and it worked…

Now I feel really bad for this girl because he did leave, but THEN AGAIN… what does she expect? In situations like this you need to be honest and upfront… or you’re either going to get blown off, hurt, or… well… nothing…

Anyway that’s it for today. I have a few profiles stacked up and waiting to go for you, also a few funny messages with commentary… So let me know what you think of this idea… email me things you have… and enjoy!

Much Love
Tanya

  1. Already loving it. I've got one particularly weird interaction from the site I'll have to share sometime. Didn't follow through on it (sadly sidestepping what would have to have been the kind of story you could only tell while drunk), but OkC is practically built on "how fucked up can we make this date?"

    Keep on keepin' on, can't wait to see the next one!
