I'm on OkC, too, and in the past three weeks, I got a marriage proposal from someone in another country who was looking for a visa. (First message) I got another message from someone in the US who wanted "to build a parallel life". He was married and had kids in CA. Wanted to have a sweetie in Europe, and something about me says "she's perfect!" to those guys.&nbsp;</p> <p>Plenty of Fish, in the US at least, is a good middle ground. People there are more relationship-minded than OkC, but don't want to pay for match, etc, for whatever reason. Elsewhere in the world, it's a site for one night stands.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-dating#post-1147783 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 20:46:26 +0000 rachylou 1147783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My co-worker is liking POF... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-dating#post-1147051 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 02:07:53 +0000 rae 1147051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried Plenty of Fish? It's free and a friend of mine really liked it. In her opinion, she liked the type of guy that wasn't willing to pay for a site more than those on Match etc.&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pof.com/">http://www.pof.com/</a></p> <p>However, my dad found his wife on Match, so YMMV. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-dating#post-1146986 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 00:31:07 +0000 Liz A. 1146986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no.

(Um, or not, depending on how you answer.) So I'm not sure about their analyses. Your friend might be right that the algorithms themselves are very interesting.</p> <p>My profile was contrarian and I had great success using the site for various platonic purposes. eHarmony rejected me; I met bf on CL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-dating#post-1142704 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 04:21:31 +0000 annagybe 1142704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I was going through my old messages, realized I've been on OKCupid for two full years.&nbsp;<div>Thinking of going back to eHarmony or Match. Expensive, but less of a freak show.</p> <p></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-dating#post-1141908 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 18:22:18 +0000 rachylou 1141908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha! I just downloaded OkCupid and started answering the infinite list of questions - which I thought would be more interesting. I thought they were going to match me in an unexpected way on the basis of my favourite flavour of ice cream and Beatles v. Stones. Instead every question is along the lines of, "How perverted are you?" and "In what ways are you a pervert?" and "How many would you like to involve in your perversions?"</p> <p>It's like... it's like a combination of eHarmony and Adult Friendfinder: a boring grossout.</p> <p>My friend, tho, says the part of OkCupid where they analyse the stats is extremely interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-dating#post-1139455 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 03:11:24 +0000 rebekahphoto 1139455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just read this interesting article about an ultimate online-meet-date! a little more crazy than my control side would handle, but sounds adventurous none the less:<br /><a href="http://www.salon.com/2013/11/12/the_craziest_okcupid_date_ever/" rel="nofollow">http://www.salon.com/2013/11/1.....date_ever/</a></p> <p>I am currently planning a minimal-wardrobe capsule for 3 months (teaching) in europe next summer...I'm inspired to make it even smaller, but I dont think I could ever do just one dress! </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-dating#post-1139407 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 02:36:06 +0000 Isabel 1139407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>anna, these kinds of guys think that they are James Bond. &nbsp; UGH, agreed.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-dating#post-1139112 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 21:36:39 +0000 AviaMariah 1139112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At least you didn't have to endure a date with him before giving him the heave-ho. &nbsp;I was going to ask you about It's Just Lunch too. &nbsp;But if you've already heard bad things... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-dating#post-1138955 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 19:29:29 +0000 minimalist 1138955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! Before I moved here, I used OkC to scope out the town a bit, and when I first joined I wrote to someone whose profile I saw bc it came up under highest enemy scores. He was open about being in a support group that seemed interesting to me, so I asked him to take me to a meeting when I got to town.</p> <p>He did, and it's been really helpful. </p> <p>Haven't seen him since, because I was not interested in dating him and his girlfriend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/online-dating#post-1138946 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 19:26:12 +0000 annagybe 1138946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I have yet to hear a good thing about It's Just Lunch.
