I got my first OKCupid flame!

[narnee]

I got a message today on OKCupid from a sunnyday06, also known as the unsurprisingly single Mr. Gary Voss, 38-year-old taxi company owner from East Lansing, Michigan. I do not know this man and he clearly does not know me.

Entitled 'Eliza Doolittle', it said:

...he thinks he has good hair??

[kimkali]

I guess he has to find something

[kimkali]

OK Cupid says he is way less aggressive than me. Sorry, I mean WAY less aggressive.

You write beautifully -- even when suggesting someone use their palm to achieve climax.

XxX

Audrey Hepburn... ticky

OKCupid seems to collect morons like a toilet collects floaters, I’ve ridiculed my fair share on there, mostly the ones that contact Faery with some form of chat up line, normally “nice tits”. I tend to send them message from my account giving them marks out of ten on there chat up technique, For some reason this seems to cool there ardor.

My reply would be,

"Yes we do spell Colour with a U, us being the English and the inventors of the language, try looking it up in the dictionary sometime, you know the big papery thing that was first published a few hundred years ago, Oh wait I forgot the people over there were speaking Cherokee at the time..

Nave a nice Day…"

I know I'm evil but a good kind of evil.

Actually I think okcupid overall has less morons than other free sites, and definitely far more alternative people. As it becomes more popular and widely known the average IQ does tend to go down, however.

Usually I just ignore the idiots, but if you want to have some sport it's fun either to agree with them or ask them why you should do something?

Oh, yeah, because us Yanks have never heard that tired old chestnut before. (Of course, the trouble with it is, it doesn't work: we've never measured our worth as a country by our age as a country, you might have noticed. We don't care how you measure worth as a country. *smile*)

narnee wins the internets over you, I'm afraid. ;)

[funky_firelord]

Worked plenty of times when I was living over there wendolen

And the fact that you replied means it still works, even when directed at someone else.

Winning is pressing someone else buttons and watching them flinch..

Watch and learn girl...

What a cock. I used to have so many arguments with Americans online who believed that I was Scottish because I typed 'arse' instead of 'ass'. They'd seen Trainspotting, so apparently only Scottish people use the word 'arse' in the UK.

And it's one of those things - you use words like 'flat' and 'pavement' because they are the words you now use in day to day parlance with us guys. They are now part of your idiolect. It also doesn't take that long for people to start using such words - my old friend Margo came from LA to study at UCL for a year, and within a few months she was what this dickwad would describe as Eliza Doolittle. Conversely, since my friend Neil moved to the US, he's now calling things apartments and bathrooms that I wouldn't ;-)

Bathrooms

[wendolen]

During my visit, I had to forcibly teach myself to use the word toilet, when asking waiters &c where the facilities were. It's jarring, because over here toilet refers quite strictly to the appliance itself, rather than the room it resides in.

Re: Bathrooms

[hieroglyphe]

For me, a bathroom is something with a bath in. Therefore I've got the opposite thing to you in finding it naming room-with-a-toilet odd, because in my head you're referring to an appliance that isn't there :-)

Re: Bathrooms

[wendolen]

TBH, I usually ask for a "restroom" when what I want is a toilet, but it irritates me to hear myself say that, because it sounds like I spend too much time in commercial establishments (which is true, sadly).

[syllopsium]

Ignore. Block. Report. Move on. He's obviously doing it to get some sort of rise out of you so why bother responding?
