Fun with #OkCupid: 3 emails ... 3 different responses

First up, if you haven't read my OKC profile - you can check it out over yonder. Might make some sense to the things guys reply to, haha. But for reals, these are all actual emails I've received in the last 48 hours, and my actual responses back to them. It is through this transparent experience that I hope you all can take away some knowledge on what works and what doesn't in the hopes of making your online dating experiences that much more fanschmastically awesome. YAYYYY ONLINE DATING YAYYY!!! K ... cool ... here we go ...

Actual Response: THE. INITIAL. MESSAGE. IS. THE. MOST. IMPORTANT. PART. When it comes to online dating, and particularly on OKC where it is a free dating site and women are INUNDATED with messages - you want to keep it as simple and light as possible. Pick ONNNEEE specific detail from her profile, and ask her to elaborate. That's all a guy EVVEERRRR has to say. Using my profile as an example, an email I would respond to would be something along the lines of ... Have any good bar recommendations in NYC? I'm going to go there (as it says I was recently there) soon (keep it truthful, only ask if you are going to actually be there). It's open ended, and will make me freak out and go OMMMGGG yes yes yes!! I had the best XXX at XXX and it will change. your. life. 

That'll work. But yeah ... very very very important - keep it simple and specific. Easy peasy. Hope this helps!

Woooahhh ... this was a gnarly email. Why did the dude put himself immediately in the friend zone? I'm not on OKC for friends, I'm here to find someone to date! Why ask if I want to be friends?? 

Dudes, go in for the kill when it comes to online dating. WE. ARE. HERE. TO. BE. PICKED. UP!

So friggen pick us up!!! This guy was way too timid, and that lack of confidence is a turn off - I didn't even click his profile.

Actual Response: None

Sure ... lemme take a look ... 

Alrite - got a great default pic, clear shot of his face with no hat on or glasses of any kind!! Good job! 

lemme read the profile ... 

HAHAHHAHA omg this guy is HILARIOUS!!!!!! His personality BLEEEEEDDDSSS from the monitor, jumps out at you and makes you cry uncle. 

Good job man ... dare I even say - perfect job!! 

Actual Response: Two thumbs WAYYYYY up! If you lived closer, were a year older, and had a third nipple I might even marry you! Work on that!! =) 

Hope this helped you guys understand at least what is out there. Happy dating!!
