That's pretty neat that they're keeping stats like that. OKC is a good site. Just too bad that 99% of the women on there are flakes. (Compared with other sites like Match, where it's probably only 90%)

And by "flakes" I mean they bother to respond to the first message, sound interested, then completely ignore you from then out. Never a "thanks but no thanks" or "sorry not interested."

I actually sent a thank-you note to the one girl who did say sorry.
