OkCupid: Internet dating for people who never commit to anything

Seriously, everyone there is either a hipster or a polyamorous ~faerie queen~ with a BMI that reads like a basketball score.

So has anyone else tried the wide world of internet dating?  Any interesting stories?  As a dude I'm pretty much limited to the "she was 50lbs heavier" or "talked about her ex all night" stuff, but I'm sure crazier stuff has happened when you're meeting people from the internet.

KvP:
Lots of people seem to do it, it seems to be about as successful as dating in general, but I haven't really given it a shot.

Lunchbox:
After I broke up with my boyfriend of 7 years I joined okcupid because I figured there was no hope of me ever meeting a guy who would like me in real life.

Every meetup I've had from okcupid has ended up being a disaster, and I'm not proud of any of them. When I write about them it makes me realise what a dumb bitch I was.

The first boy I met the day I moved to Sydney. I drove up late at night, and moved in with him straight away as I had no money and he had room for my cat and wasn't charging me rent. We lived/slept together for a month and a bit until I moved in with Jimmy the Squid. After that I just sort of forgot about him and moved onto the second boy. His reaction to this made me realise that he'd been taking it all way more seriously than I had, despite the fact that he was moving back to the US in a year. Whoops.

The second boy lived back in my hometown, 3 hours away, but that didn't stop us from hooking up every weekend. He was sort of weird and controlling but I was really lonely and put up with it. We agreed on an open relationship but when I hooked up with another guy from real life, I dumped him. Most people on this forum know what happened after that, but it seems that he got over it and moved away and went on to have a good relationship. For that I am happy!

After the new boy I had been dating left to go overseas, I started hanging out with two guys I'd kept in contact with from okcupid.

One was a complete narcissist, a writer who liked antiques and everything high-brow. Despite the fact that he knew I was 'saving myself' for when my boyfriend came back, he would constantly tell me how much he wanted to sleep with me, despite the fact that he had girlfriend. He would invite me over to watch movies, pressure me to drink and smoke, and feel me up. I'd go because despite everything, it was nice to have someone pay attention to me. Eventually he kissed me and it was awful and I hope to never see him again.

The last guy turned out sort of okay. I maintained my distance from him early on and stated that we were to be only friends, I wasn't attracted to him at all but we became sort of friends and would go out for lunch every week as we work close to each other. He constantly would tell me how attractive I was and make no excuses for the amount of times he would look down my top. Eventually he got a girlfriend and has stopped asking me to lunch. Phew. We still talk on Facebook occasionally.


TLDR;  okcupid - pretty much full of creeps and/or very very lonely people.

Blue Kitty:
I found my current girlfriend on Ok Cupid.  It's a pretty okay site I guess, I deleted my profile a little while ago and my girlfriend did the same.

Papersatan:
This is not OK cupid related specifically, but I found Stephen on the Internet.  We met on Yahoo instant messenger.  I did a search for boys in my area near my age who were online and had pictures.  His username started with an 'a' so he was on the first page.  He looked the most interesting and so I threw a muffin at him.  The rest, as they say, is history.
