OkCupid: Internet dating for people who never commit to anything
tania:
only because somebody won't pay for that sex reassignment surgery i've been asking for constantly for like, years
i mean honestly it's not even for sexual reasons, i just want to be able to use it to press elevator buttons and stuff

<==== THIS IS THE TYPE OF GIRLFRIEND YOU END UP WITH WHEN YOU DATE PEOPLE FROM THE INTERNET

I signed up for OKC back in the day when you could still "woo" at people, because Mnementh/DannyClash and thousand and Voodoo and some other old forumites were on it and every time we saw each other in person we would go "WOOOOOOO" at each other and it was hilarious. I was also isolated and more-or-less friendless at a uni that wasn't right for me, so I ended up taking a gajillion quizzes and answering all the questions they had.
I have never really used it to date, or find partners, or whatever. I am one of those women Tommy was talking about who use it for social networking because, honestly, the people I met through OKC were not that great, but their friends were and, since all my high school friends have moved away since graduation, it is the only reason I know anyone in Atlanta anymore.
To be fair, I have had varying degrees of success with the various people I have met in person. One guy would never let go of the fact that I can play the bagpipes (kind of), only ever talked about swords and kilts, and when I decided I was uncomfortable enough to leave, he kissed me. Another guy invited me along to a USO swing dance with him and his friends, which was awesome. Two of my fellow Dragon*Con staff, whom I did not know lived nearby and whom I did not really see outside the convention, found me on OKC and now we are great friends all year. Another guy wanted to date me (like 3 years ago), but I wasn't interested, and instead I made friends with all of his friends and now they are my mates and one of them is my boyfriend and it is groovy, baby, yeah!
Also, eharmony will let you take their personality profile thinger for free, which I learned because I was bored in class one day, and it is akin to a (albeit brief) psychological profile. Apparently it is pretty accurate.

i don't know how i missed this the first few times it was posted, but that "does this thread make you happy?" button there really makes that whole exchange so much more perfect

Holy shit, that guy.

Very close to making that my sig, and I think that would be the first time I've sigged a quote from the forum. Pretty great out of context.
However, I kind of agree to a point. As far as purely sexual encounters go if I were single and out trying to pick up I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't be overly miffed if the smoking hot lady I took home wound up having one more or one less vagina than expected. There would be logistics to work out, but surely those things sort themselves out so long as you don't freak out, point & shout "D: YOU HAVE A CO~~~~~~CK! D:"
