Being a girl on OKcupid

2013/03/01

DISCLAIMER: I never used this account to send any messages. I never led any guy on or impersonated this girl other than to use her pictures. She doesn't live in the same country as me or this profile. No one's feelings were hurt in the process of this. The account is now disabled.

So, how easy or hard is it to be a girl on an online dating website? Well most of you who don't have brain damage probably know already that it's like dating with the Konami code. But hey, fuck it, I wanted to see what it would be like! What kinds of messages do guys send you? Are all guys a bunch of creepy fuckheads with dicks for brains? Or are some of these gentle reclusive nerds just waiting for a chance to woo the perfect dame with their razor wit and beefy bank accounts?

This was started at month 8 of last year's challenge. So I have seven months of data on this! LET'S DELVE INTO IT!

LET'S MEET THE PRETTY LADY!

I found some pictures of a random girl on some random blog. I apologize for this? Note the pictures weren't blurred when I was doing this.

So as you can see, a decently attractive, average looking girl. No air of sluttness, no giant tits and no cascading beef rolls. A girl no guy would ever be ashamed to be seen with, yet not attractive enough to intimidate anyone or raise suspicion i.e. I didn't take pictures from Sports Illustrated or some porn site like a dumbass. GOOOD!

Again, perfectly normal girl. Now, the whole profile:

Ok so here come the red flags. This profile is full of them. "I spend a lot of time thinking about: I don't!"

I just made sure to have her be nice and bland with a crispy crust of slightly crazy, as well as some weird sense of humor that is almost a dead giveaway as I guarantee you I've never seen any girl write anything like that about fudge or movies.

Moving on!

THE MESSAGES

I have divided the received messages into 3 categories:

1. Shitty Messages. This is the copy / paste one-line garbage that idiots carpet-bomb the internet with in a vain attempt at getting replies. Sadly, it works sometimes.

Example:

2. OK Messages. Still sort of bad, but you can tell he made an effort or read the profile.

Example:

3. Good Messages. Pretty much as good as they get. I was somewhat amazed at how bland and bad even the best ones were.

Example:

Here's the graph for the whole thing:

Keep in mind I did nothing for those 7 months. I was online only to check the account maybe 2-3 minutes every other day. I messaged no one and replied to no one.

By comparison, if you're a guy, you can expect maybe 5 messages in a whole year. They will all be good, but not necessarily from girls who are actually interested in you.

The lesson? If you look like this girl, you have your pick of dozens of guys without having to do any effort or accomplish anything whatsoever in your life. CONGRATS! Lol. But the question is... who are those guys? Did she just get messaged by a bunch of losers?

I haven't kept track, but mainly: No. There's an endless amount of fairly generic boring whitebread middleclass nice guys lined up to date girls. Those are the ones who sent the good messages. I have checked several of their profiles and can't say there's anything wrong with them in general. They have jobs, are well-traveled ( people are obsessed with this for some reason), are in decent shape, are fairly attractive or average looking, have college educations and practice a sport or hobby somewhat seriously. The girl equivalent of any of these guys would get dozens of messages.

So if you're a guy, keep in mind that you better not be a loser if you want to have any chance on sites like this because there's a bunch of acceptable dudes going for every girl 24/7 along with your Cheetos-munching fat ass.

SCIENCE!!!

There you have it. I know this it somewhat unethical but I'm sure a lot of people were curious to know this. You'd be shocked at how many girls are completely oblivious to how much of an advantage they have when they're young when it comes to this. They suspect, but they have no idea it's like a 20-30 to 1 ratio.

WELL THAT WAS FUN!
