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 ...
Really?? Twizzler commercial?? OOOHHH he means these ...
hahahaahaha what a whackadoodle noodle.
Actual Response: None
Omg - wow, that was a whole lotta information. Dude, I'm totes massively ADD.
For reals though guys - keep emails short. Look through the girl's profile and pick out one fact, one tidbit that you then want to ask her about.
Example: I read in your profile that you're a lifecaster. That sounds interesting, what made you want to get into that?
Suggested response: I worked for one of the founders of Myspace back in 2007 launching his start up LiveVideo, and really enjoyed it.
Pick one detail up that you can relate to, and build from there.
Actual Response: Wooahhhh nelly, that was a lot of information/ questioning. I grew up in Connecticut - I designed my work around my personality, so I enjoy pretty much everything that I do all day everyday - and yes, my parents read the site however I warn them on certain posts that they should stay away from. This one isn't so bad. *waves* hi mom and dad.
HAHAHA what a weird way to message someone - but I dunno, something about this email worked. He was honest, and genuine in his approach - you can't be mad at that. Mad props, duderino!
Actual Response: Hi, nice to meet you. =)

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