What could go wrong?

I Tried OkCupid And This Is What Happened
OKCupid

What can I say? Curiosity killed the cat! I have a few friends that use a dating site/app called OkCupid and decided to give a try. OkCupid is a lot different from Tinder or any other sort of dating app.

On this site, you answer all sorts of questions relating to ethics, dating, lifestyle, sex and religion and the site generates a match percentage to other users. The profile, rather than being just a simple, little “about me”, prompts users with areas like “What I’m Doing With My Life” and “6 Things I Couldn’t Live Without”. It then displays the categorized questions and based off those it draws some conclusions and lists you traits. For example, mine say more nerdy and literary, political, and less confident, trusting and dominate. Interested by the sites promises of actually looking into potential matches whether they be for dating or just meeting new people around me, I got right into it and found I immediately had some messages.

Unfortunately, not everyone on this site is a charmer. So much so that I’ve started my very own hall of fame.

Unfortunately, he never replied. I may never know why he wanted my shoe size...

This was a weird one. Unfortunately it was not the last message from a Sugar Daddy I received.


Although the "lot of cash" was tempting...I just wasn't up for meeting with "DaddyBluez".

Not sure why this guy felt the need to message me....but cool fish.

Poor thing had no idea Logan Lerman is one of my favorite actors...

An odd message indeed...but he had a cool dog, I could not resist.

Unfortunately, ignoring another snarky compliment (I think it was a compliment??) got me compared to Donald Trump.

These are only some of my favorites. This site is loaded with creepers who send endless streams of weird messages. It's kind of hard not to take what they say personally as they are commenting on your image. But was my expierce negative? Actually no, every once in a while, you'll find it's totally worth it for the laughs you'll get just looking at some of these profiles (these are in fact, real profiles):

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
