but on the other hand, it's a great idea, because look how fast it got him culled. no time wasted!

This is true -- it's like an inadvertent "HEY I'M AN ASSHOLE" sign. Useful for people who don't want to date assholes.

I know, rite? That's what I was thinking. No awkward flirting, no faking explosive diarrhea to sneak out of a horrendous date... I wish more life features came with a "block" button.

Wow, Dane Cook is on OKCupid?

I would wager real money that the author of that message is a big fan of Mr. Cook.

I'm torn between replying and explaining why his message sucks and just ignoring it -- I think probably the latter is the wisest course of action, but part of me is just itching to explain the many ways in which his salutation is wrong.

My first comment to my soon to be wife was "I don't want to cyber and I don't have photos of my junk to send you."

So far, its worked.

I think that's a perfectly acceptable opening line. In fact, if I got a message like that, it would put me at ease, since I've had people seem perfectly normal and pleasant and then suddenly, apropos of nothing, whip out the penis pictures.

Did you guys meet on OkCupid? I love hearing stories like that, whether they're about OkCupid or other similar sites -- they're very encouraging.

FWIW, I asked mine where there was to row in Tucson. (He meant a machine in his living room. There are not really rivers here.) Also we started messaging in April 1. We're both pretty sure that is significant.

Yeah, we met on OkCupid about five years ago. It took awhile to get everything going, but we've been friends since then and only recently took it to the next level.
