"What I’m doing with my life
I understood that there are priorities in the life. That people that you meetings, are not inevitably your friends. I understood, whom in the life one always does not have that one wants. I understood, that one is nothing on ground, in one second all can collapsed, nothing is never acquired. I understood, that one did not have to be pretentious nor unable. But to preserve what is blameworthy. That certain important subjects make reflect. Until reaching the significant place which sometimes tears us. Person in charge I am it and of the things I become aware of it. By this cause I know very well to whom I grant my confidence. I understood, that to make evil with people was not well. That the regrets are not useful any more when death reaches you. That each second is removed to us from our credit of life. I understood that without patience, courage & will, one arrives at nothing. That one should not trust appearance nor with the size. Because I understood, who important it is what there is in the heart"

😵😕

I think this guy is trying to sound intellectual or used some sort of translator that converted his language into unintelligible speak.

Assuming it's appropriate for this forum, I'm going to go through some okcupid profiles and post ones that look interesting/funny to me. Feel free to join in on the fun.
 
OkCupid is a worthless, soul-crushing website (for men, anyway; the massive male/female imbalance probably makes it awesome for women).

I had a profile on there for ~5 years before I realized I would probably never get any dates out of it. Sending hundreds of different messages into empty space with no response wasn't fun. I even paid for like a year-long premium subscription at some point, thinking it would help. Ugh. The Match.com merger didn't do it any favors either. I'm a happier person for having finally deleted my profile.

I generally have much better success meeting people in person than online, but I have had some success on OKC. Relationships aside, my social network has had improvement it wouldn't have had otherwise.

I had some success on OKC when I used it briefly. As with any online site, how your profile is written and how you initially message people affects responses a lot. From what I've heard on a girl perspective, it's even worse than something like Tinder as anybody can send you a message.

OkCupid is a lot like applying for a corporate job. You get asked a lot of inane questions in the screening interview. When you do send your application off, nobody will ever get back to you. 😀

This is what I've convinced myself too. Meeting people face-to-face in a real world, organic environment is always going to be more effective than trying to meet people on the internet. Ideally, modern technology should make it much easier to find a good partner, but realistically, online dating is a shithole.

I understand the importance of having a good profile. I've lurked online discussions and read probably a dozen different articles about how to create a good OkCupid profile. I've re-written and "optimized" my bio so many times that it got to a point where it only felt like work anymore. It felt less like meeting people and more like being a copywriter doing SEO for a corporate marketing firm.

So accurate it's scary. I especially realize this now, given that I just happened to have spent the last month talking to a new potential employer. The only difference there is that I actually got the job.

I had an account for three years or so. Got hundreds of dates. It wasn't bad.

Isn't that only for serious discussion? I picked this forum to laugh at some poorly made profiles. It's not even necessarily about looks.
