It's probably not a smooth and pleasant experience for a large amount of people TBH.

I get a laugh at the 40-something women that still have height restrictions in their bio. Still carrying that breeder mentality well past menopause.

God those matches being unmatched without a word after a couple of hours are frustrating. It's not to lay blame at the feet of anyone, maybe she read the profile more closely, saw some deal-breaker or had second thoughts, but you know...

Saw a vague work acquaintance and a coworker (that I sort of fancy, but too young and saying "pansexual" in her profile :larry) in the swipe queue. Guess it's funny but not something to ever bring up again. :lol

Well I planned on leaving this alone (don't shit where you eat yadda yadda), it's just funny but I deffo will come up on Monday in full Peter Pan garb.

I'm kinda apprehensive of people piling up unconventional labels on the dating profile. It's probably judgemental but there's definitely a whole type attached as far as OKCupid profiles go. I don't think I'm closed to those discussions but I'd rather avoid getting the impression on my first date to be evangelized at.

We have all those and the French specific equivalent (Is Macron good for France ?). The most egregious is probably "Parlez vous francais ?". Gun ownership questions or those about creationism don't make a lot of sense over here as well.

OkCupid pet peeves : OkCupid puts in the swipe queue people younger than specified preferences (up to 4 years). I don't mind in principle (there could be a great match just under the arbitrary age limit) but it's to the point they make up 80-90%. Probably has to do with younger demographics being more populous and not wanting you to reach the dreaded "we have no one else to show you" message but still... Especially since they allow to reset all your decisions to pass.

Minor bugs that seemingly won't ever get fixed like resetting the search filter to 25-60 every time you change a variable on your preferences about who you're looking for.

I have a like that keep popping in and out of existence apparently because the person who gave it to me must have moved in the meantime out if my range to somewhere else in the word. It triggers in app notifications. False hopes.

They don't do "we have no one else to show you" anymore. Now they just keep cycling through people you've passed on repeatedly until you finally give in and like and never message.

A year ago they did the repeat but you could reach an end until some people were added (I guess account who logged back or new ones).
I use mostly the search tool to find profiles I like, the Swipe queue I use to see people I excluded from my filters (non-smokers for instance), I generally reset on a regular basis.

The owner of OKCupid also control Tinder, Match.com and Meetic (which was really big in France before the app boom) so I guess they can't undercut their other branches too much commercially though it also, probably, help keep OKCupid distinct enough to not alienate its userbase. Overall the service got worse and sounded a lot better as it existed in 2015 or so, from what I read.

I don't mind the curation via algorithm but there's no downside to being aware of it.

I think the worst thing they've done recently is make it so you can't send a message without liking someone, and they can't read the message or even know they have one if they haven't liked you back.

We should implement that here tbh

The first part isn't recent tho. It's always been like that for me. They might have changed the second (now it's an "intro"). One year ago the idea was that they would only see the message notification if they opened and read the profile or something.

From the FAQ :
Quote
Any introductions you receive will be visible in DoubleTake (look for a "They messaged you!" indicator) and Discovery (look for a blue line under their photos).

That last one is actually strangely comforting. Like, you don't really have to exist, but you're not totally gone either. The rest of the world happens without you, but you can still check in.

On the other hand, could easily be a 'I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream' story...

Have any of you been in a long distance relationship? Any advice?

To echo our warband's resident Lheorvine Ukris (that's filler), you should have an exit strategy. Unless by long-distance you mean "close enough to drive to on the weekends."

You're going to have to generate intimacy from afar. That's different for each relationship so there's no one size fits all answer for that.

You're going to have to get comfortable with expressing your feelings in a healthy manner. She's not going to be able to reliably read your body language or understand your nonverbal communication for the foreseeable future.

This is probably unnecessary to say as you posted a sex tape on a NeoGAF refugee forum but you're going to have to be able to build sexual intimacy from afar.

Lastly you should accept the fact that you could fail in your endeavor and make peace with that. To inappropriately quote Warhammer 40K in a semi-serious manner as is my custom, "I am Angron, the Eater of Worlds, and I am already dead."

She moved to Arizona for her job. She's a Rez Life admin at one of the colleges there. I think she decided that it would be better to go first to set herself up and get herself situated. She also realized that finally finishing school would be good for myself and it's something I need to do for me. The option of finishing school where she is, is an option, but I'm already 106 credits deep where I am.

But I mean the plan and desire is for me to move out to where she is. She has said she sees a future and that she wants me to come out to her. Though she also thinks I need to visit her first for an obviously needed trial run of living together. She wants me to be successful on my own.

She has reassured me that she is very happy with what we have and that I make her feel ways that no one else has and that our sex has been the best she's had. That she's not intersted in looking for anyone, nor does she think she'd have the time anyway because of her job. If anythings she's more jealous and worried about me. I mean obvuisly we've talked a lot about this and the point is we both want it to continue and think trying long distance first is better. If we can survive that, maybe its as worthwhile as we think or something.

It's not a perfect comparison, but I've stayed close with my best friend while he's lived overseas and far away thanks to him being in the military. We don't talk every day or every week. Sometimes we go a week or two without talking. I like my space and doing my own thing. As long as I have some contact I don't question the streght of my relationship. She and I are somewhat the same that we aren't one of those lovey dovey couple and like our space. When we were together it's not like she was constantly questioning what I was doing or got mad when I did things without her. We enjoy each other's company, but we also are our own people. I think thats one of the things we like about each other.

So I'm not as hopeless about this situation. I mean we'll still talk and play games online. I'll visit her when I can. Are personalities aren't dependent on always being together. So I think a long distance thing can work.

Obviously there's the lack of physical connection. She has sexual appetite as do I, but I mean both of us have gone long stretches without sex. And well I she likes me because in her words "I make her feel special, make her feel like she knows what she's doing, beautiful during sex and outside of it, feel right and normal, not dirty or a whore as other people have". She makes me feel like a worthwhile person and is someone I can be confortable and open with. I have obviously had plenty of issues and it's amazing that I met a person who is actually understanding of me. Which is probably why our sex life has been good. I don't think this is something you can build with just anyone either. We both have hang ups with it comes to sex, so both of us aren't out here just looking for quick fucks.

So I don't know. This where we are at I guess. She's said she's going to wait for me. I'm taking my first steps to resume and finish school. I don't know where things are going to go obviously.

well i just came back from one of the most awkward dates i had in a long, long time.

met up with this pawg who seemed pretty interested in meeting up. when we did however, there were frequent long bouts of uncomfortable, awkward silence. we did manage to have some okay conversation, but it seemed pretty clear she was no longer interested. she barely even smiled. anyway, the date ended with literally no physical contact whatsoever. normally i'm able to get a kiss, or at least a damn hug.  :maf

THAT BEING SAID

while i was disappointed, i'm not going to lose too much sleep over it. while she was a pawg, she was a bit...too much of a pawg if you get my meaning. shame though. she had great tits which i would have loved to fondle and such. alas
