Sarcasm, OKCupid, and you!
Jan. 28th, 2006 08:47 amI've prepared a translation guide of some phrases that commonly appear in OKCupid profiles. ( I hope it's useful to someone. )
Dear Sir:
You appear to have the mistaken impression that the words "likable" and "lickable" have the same meaning.
At least, I certainly hope that you meant you LIKE your dog. Anything else is simply more repugnant than I can imagine.
Of course, since you appear to keep your tongue pristine by instead applying some strange organ called a tounge in pursuit of your unnamed talents, I suppose it's all right in the end.
No, not that sort of end. PLEASE!
Honestly! If you're trying to give the impression that you're fun to date, do try not to type as if your fingers go into relentless spasms whenever confronted with a word over four letters! If you're old enough to date, you're old enough to buy a damn dictionary and look something up once in a while, and then spell it correctly.
Bad spelling is as atrocious a fault as showing up in filthy clothing, ungroomed, and reeking of wet dog-- unless you're meeting someone at the pound, in which case you can wear whatever you lick.
Sincerely,
Not Impressed With Bad Spellers

It's not that I object...

But PLEASE, if you're going to hit on me, demonstrate that you've learned something in the 20 years you were alive before I was born, m'kay?
For instance, a quick check of my profile (polyamorous, more than one boyfriend, dating by mutual consent) might indicate that I'm not very likely to accept your oh-so-flattering offer to be a "short term replacement" while your girlfriend is out of town.
But really! Who WOULD take that offer? Anyone I'd speak to?

I'm a member of the OKCupid quizzes/dating site, and every month they urge you to invite friends.
This month, it comes with a bit of text extracted from what the hundreds of questions I've answered say about me:
( Sounds like me, all right )
And here's my profile for the easily amused.
Oh, and to fend off the "wanna do it with me n my girlfriend, we <3 bi chix" offers... I changed my profile to "straight." (did I mention that I've never been contacted by a Real Girl?)
Never fear! Still queer!
