Thanks!

Thanks. Good point on the photo captions; that didn't occur to me.

Hello, kind patrons of the internet. Could I humbly ask for some OKC profile critiques? Sorry if this is an inappropriate forum for this, but seeing as how the kind of lady I'd like to spend time with intersects with the kind of ladies on Jezebel, it makes sense to me to ask for advice here rather than say, Reddit.

Ah, good point. Thanks for that.

The phrase "if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life" has always bothered me. Hey, if you're lucky enough to be good at and make a living from your passion/what you love/etc, good on you. But don't imply that the rest of us just working to live are lesser.

I know how you guys feel. It really feels at my government job that I am actively incentivized to do poor work as slowly as possible. If I do a good job quickly, they just dump more work on me with no change in compensation. It's frustrating.

When I was in college, I had all sorts of ludicrous theories about being an Asian male in the dating world, all of which were thinly veiled attempts at justifying my own insecurities and failures.

I just updated my OKC response statistics spreadsheet (because I keep such things), and my 1st-time response rate is now at 14.79%. I honestly thought it would be lower given recent performance, but my total pool is so high now that even longish runs of failure don't sway the total number too much. (Side note:…

Pie. Every grilled cheese sandwich needs to be washed down with pie.

A bit of prologue: I'm a male seeking females.

I love cats and dogs both so much, I kind of forget people ally with one camp so often.

It's a favorite.

Oh, the same old thing. They don't find me attractive. It's the way it goes.

This month in OKC messages I've sent that have gotten no responses:

Haha, thanks. I have sent out simpler messages (admittedly when I can't think of anything funny to say), but I try to always make the messages tailored to the individual and ask a question about something in her profile. But, yeah, not much luck.

Thanks!

You actually hit on something I've been thinking lately: that my profile might be a bit too schticky. I've been working on pruning it down to make it briefer (I'm verbose), and I kind of ended up with a high ratio of humor to sincerity. Though I tend to think that most of my profile humor is actually based in…

I get that. I've thought about that, too, but I keep coming out with the conclusion that trying something funny is the only way I'm going to stick out from the crowd.

I guess you're the type of person I keep holding out for XD

That image repeats in my mind as well. It'd be even better if it was a comically large steak knife.
