I realized after I put a profile pic that I look drop dead sexy in the picture. :D

I don't think I am the best at conversation (what a surprise). It has only been a few days that I have been on Okcupid but it seems like after I exchange a few messages with people they don't answer.

Exception would be 2 girls that live in the same town as me, or in walking distance of it. One is under 18 lol.

What is the attractiveness scale? Their question matching system or something else?

Something you only see if you are a premium member. Sense I am not I don't know anymore about it besides that. You can do searches on match % and attractiveness

Success on there seems to come unexpectedly and suddenly, at least for me.
I had a "date at 6pm, get home at 2pm" encounter this weekend thanks to that site while being a not hugely attractively compelling and overweight.

Even with a lengthy profile, people can be significantly more multidimensional than any advertisement can indicate.
Seems to work to a higher degree as a guy to hold any reservations until actually knowing the person to any degree.

That is something I've found also.

The worst thing though is, the closer I get to my own age range, the more likely they are to have kids already, which is a complete deal breaker. So then I'm stuck looking at women in the 21-23 year old range and none of them ever seem to be interested.

I received an email from OkC that said I was highly rated and would only be matched with people of similar ratings. It has to do with how many visits you get and how many messages plus actual ratings/add to favorites

I'm actually thinking of starting an account on this site (OKCupid). Dunno if I should or not... still feeling a bit wishywashy about it. After my last "romantic interlude", I'm pretty gunshy about guys, and the things I hear from them. Of course, if you know you're damaged goods, is it fair to put yourself out there? Hmmm.... I dunno. I guess I'll keep debating myself about this.

I'll keep my eye on this thread to see what happens. I'm interested in what you folks have to say.
