Wrong.

Most female profiles I come across are 10 lines max.

2 of my mates literally wrote NOTHING in theirs and had photos of them at the beach.
Guess which 2 are engaged to girls they met on dating sites, and which 2 have material things that tick the boxes.


The 2 who are most hot looking?

Out of us 6 alumni, yes they are the best looking.

I don't have any hangups about that. We lead very different lives and it's not like I struggle to meet women.
I just struggle to move past any shallow form of connection. This is down to a number of things.
I hoped a dating profile would broaden my outreach and thus help me find a gf that would not seek some of the things that the women I meet do..without going into much detail. It has only made me more pessimistic and cynical. Perhaps I'm not doing the wrong thing I just need to keep going.

If profile length was really important then Tinder wouldn’t become the most popular dating app.

and no, it’s not for “hookup”, plenty of women there say “no hookup” in their descriptions - and almost all say so in chat too.

Spit out the bone, what are these things? I am so curious (yet I have a very good guess what they are).

I'm signed up to an Asexual website, Boo. Do the math.

I like your profile. I think it's great. It gives me a reasonable indication of what you are like and you sound fun in a geeky sort of way - which is fine if that's what you're after.

I think you need to be super upfront about what you're looking for in a relationship since you're asexual. What would you want from a gf? A non-sexual relationship would be a 100% dealbreaker for me. But I'm very upfront about that in my profile on OKC.

As a man though, you may need to proactively message women, but you need to be on the hunt for a person who is not interested in a sexual relationship or least a sexual relationship that you're comfortable with.

I met my current, lovely, geeky, high libido bf on OKC. And it's kind of amazing.
