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):

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
