Ninja Pangolin posted:Welcome to Lady Heather's world of curiosities! Honestly I kind of like her profile. At least is shows some energy and creatively, which I'll take over the bog standard crap you see repeated over and over again any day. Really I think her fatness is working against her more than anything she wrote.

Unless you like people who are tryhard and forcibly quirky.

All I'm saying is that's it better than a safe, boring profile in my book. I'll take a little tryharding quirkiness over "loves to laugh, looking for my partner in crime, 'enjoys hiking', I have a kid and he is my world" profile #1000. I just think weird is better than boring.

I guess what stood out to me is that for all the words and energy she spends to say "I'm weird and unique" her profile is just the same poo poo as everyone else. Oh, you have cats and love Dr Who? She's like every boring nerd cliché.

Oh, you have cats and love Dr Who? She's like every boring nerd cliché. But she doesn't listen to Top 40 music! *watches most popular TV shows instead* She is exactly as boring as everyone else. Everyone does the same stupid poo poo the skill is to try and make it seem like you aren't dreadfully uninteresting.

Lee Harvey Oswald posted:what's with the people who stop responding to your like 2nd or 3rd message exchange but keep visiting your profile? My guess is that okcupid keeps suggesting your profile to them in places like "You might like" and they are clicking through those without really looking at them. Okcupid has a cruel habit of sending me "This week's matches" emails that include people I already sent a message and didn't get a reply from.

Her profile uses every cliche that you see in alternative people's profiles: more than 6 things she can't live without because she's 'a rebel', spends a lot of time thinking about : some dumb bullshit that isn't actually a real answer, 'I don't bite... usually  '. Once you've seen that poo poo a hundred times it's hard to get excited about another tubby rockabilly girl who wants to do roller derby and loves British TV shows.

Honestly "elusive nerd girl" was red flag enough because you know that she's had her ego puffed up by an array of nerdy sadfats orbiting her.

I don't think we have much of her type around my area because most of her style was new to me. Is this what hipsters are like? If she is typical of a certain group then that group is not represented very much in my area.

C.P.A.N. hates it when people refer to themselves in the third person. Does anyone else's eyes just glaze over at these wall of text profiles? I end up not reading any of the content in this thread because I default to my okc behavior of just skipping over these kinds of profiles.

There's so many subsets of nerdery out there I guess this one just slipped through the cracks. I mean you got your gamers, larpers, trekkies, techies, WoWers, bronies, tumblerites, roleplayers, anime lovers, Apple fetishists, these "rockabillies", and everything else imaginable. It's a lot to keep track of.

Quirky is one of those words you can only use to describe other people, not yourself. Its peak show don't tell situation, actually interesting and quirky people don't need to mention that about themselves its something you'll pick up by interacting with them. I really don't get why goons are always so upset about generic profiles. Are you really not going to message a cute girl just because her profile says that she loves to laugh and tries not to take life too seriously? To me that just comes across as "hi I'm a normal person with dating options in the real world, if you'd like to get to know me better we can do it in person".
