With the quick match game, I either give 5 stars or I don't play.

1 Star - You might as well have leprosy
2 Star - I'd have to be a sex deprived amputee m***et before I ever thought of hittin it


I can't think what the other stars would be yet. It's just a silly way of rating people who in person actually might be quite agreeable people.

From a colony of nitwits who say stupid things while drunk most likely. He sent me a wink at 2am saying something mean about my hair.

So far I've given maybe six girls stars - four only, I think I'm going to stop though and simply not do it. If all they see on the other end is the quickmatch game then IMO it just means "Oh, this guy's a p****. Don't know who, don't care. Delete", they won't know who it was, what it was about, and my overall objective for them to feel complemented or to tell the OKCupid server 'this is kind of what I'm interested in' - likely no such possibility.

3 stars - meh, if I was bored enough
4 stars - high quality but some flaws
5 stars - the girl of my dreams is probably God, still I want you

I think an oblique approach like that wouldn't be perceived too well by most women.

I think the best way to tell the system what you like is to answer loads and loads of questions.

Well, right, its acknowledging that by definition it will be seen as an approach.

BTW, did you ever notice that there's always a handful of people who have 0% for everything but will have several photos up but no profile info? I never quite got that - unless their personality stinks on ice that much that they need to pass on their looks? I don't think their scammers because they've been around for too long.

I love the match %'s based on all those questions, I've answered about 800 so far. It's really good at weeding out people with different relationship/sex ideals amongst other things.

Also, I like editing my profile frequently, which means I end up on the recent activity list, which means my profile gets a lot of hits. I guess that's my oblique method :P

I was skeptical at first, but now I swear by the match %, to the extent that I won't even message someone under 85%...

We had a little fun recently seeing how well different WP minions matched, here's mine: http://www.okcupid.com/profile/lost-in-oc

I can't remember, but I do know that it was totally off-topic, so the title won't help...

Glad to hear I made the "cut" :wink:
