I don't claim I'm attracted to anything unique, looks-wise. Just generally not attracted to the "hotties". They are not my type. The guys I tend to be attracted to would still be considered quite good-looking.
But then there are people who like "sexy ugly"

Maybe it's good to be picky, that way if she does happen to find you attractive, it means twice as much?
haha, aww, I definitely think you are a little hottie panda
Oh look! There's something in your inbox.

Lucky for you I looked in my inbox first or would have expected something saucy going by the context here.

Dunno, I was being facetious. But it got me thinking, I didn't even put anything geeky on my profile but I got matched with all geeks. That could be due to my age and where I live to be fair.
They match you based on the questions you answer and the demographic criteria you select, but the Quiver seems to be a sort of random selection from your matches, not necessarily the best matches.

I think it's important to put Mandatory at questions that are really important because I had put Very Important that they like both dogs and cats and got matched with someone who doesn't like cats.
Your matches are not necessarily going to fit your criteria 100%. If you would have clicked on "Matches" instead of Quiver, you would have seen a larger list of people ranked by match percentage and could have viewed how their answers compare to yours to help you narrow it down.
You know what, you got me curious so I re-signed up with exactly the same data and questions answered but this time I didn't lie about my age. O M G - it's like suddenly I live in a different town altogether. One full of really gross guys. I am not kidding. There is one whose profile pic is him naked with just a book covering his junk and you can't even see his face. There is one with super scary face (he is actually making a scary face to camera). One whose profile pic is him hugging two hot women. One posing with two women who are not hot per se, but compared to him who knows. Then there is the guy my friend was dating for a bit from another site so I know he is just after sex. One whose profile pic is just his boxes shorts and one who has his age as 51 but a picture of a teenager for the profile pic.
I don't know how other people feel when they go on these things but now I remember why eharmony didn't work for me. All I think while scrolling through all these faces is "I never want to go near another human being ever again." Perhaps I should move?
Edit: I have discovered the advanced search function. Adjusting for those with University and higher education and cat lovers, I have received a much more acceptable selection (apart from the scary face guy - he is still there). I mean, this is so weird. I could run into these people in town or going about my business. Knowing me, I'd probably go - do I know you from somewhere and then they will think I am hitting on them because my photographic memory for faces will have been insisting they are someone I know and shouldn't be rude to just because I can't remember where I know them from. I must not continue with this experiment. Unless I could find my boss on here, which would totally make my day although it is entirely impossible.
Edit2: OMFG!! There is a guy with a picture of him lying on the ground behind a tiger, And the tiger is the one with the worried face. wtf!
I thought it was pretty well regarded that the match feature on all sites was a joke.
I never relate to any of my matches. It just jumbles a few questions you answer, like, do you believe in god, how do you feel about abortion, do you like kittens, etc.. anyone can share those answers.

Most people in their 20s on OKC seem to have mostly air and hair product in their head space. Not saying you too, just what I have observed on there. The matching system has been pretty successful for me.

I don't know how old you are but you're absolutely right, people get a lot less superficial about it as they grow older. I'd think, anyway.
