Fun with #OkCupid: 3 different 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 recently, 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 ...
Wait, hold the phone - the VERY first thing the dude starts out with is, "I'm sure you're not going to get the time to read this ..." Of COURSE I read everything - I'm actually looking to date, so why wouldn't I be reading everything? This shows me a strong lack of confidence on his end and is totes no bueno.
Actual Response: None
This is a GREAT email. He's being complimentary without kissing my ass ... he's confident, but not cocky and seemed genuinely interested in what I'm doing which of course peaks my interest. (At the end of the day the first email always always always has to be about the female.) I could tell this guy actually read my profile since he pulled a few details from it, and his personality jumps off the page!
Actual Response: ello Tom!
well thanks for reaching out! greatly appreciated ... best part about couch surfing was the ability to work a solid hustle morning noon and night. you can't sleep in when you're on a couch - gotta get up and get moving!! =)
This one confuses me a bit. He's about to check out the page, but he thinks it's genius. How does one know that if you haven't actually checked it out? All based off the idea? okay ... I kinda get it.
You then want to help me build off of it with something you have, but again - you haven't checked anything out, so where is the value add in this for me?
You've been meaning to message me, but you're swamped? What is it that you're doing now? Not messaging me?
I can tell this guy is going 100 mph and is more likely than not about to crash into a wall. He seems too all over the place for me, and while I am glad he sees the value in what I'm doing I'm absolutely absolutely absolutely not interested in dating or working with him.
Actual response: None
There ya go nerderinos. Best of luck out there!!!
