kaesaOKCupid just sent me three guys in a row who looked REALLY similar. (By similar, I mean "cute in a generic nerdboy way," but sadly also "If I had just met them, all other things being equal, I could probably not tell them apart at a party and would embarass myself by forgetting which one I had had what conversations with.") Their profiles were:
1. Sounds like he would be an okay friend, but nothing that makes me especially want to message him. There are likely a thousand other girls who would, though.
2. Funny, biology geek, fantasy geek, no giant wall of bands I've probably never heard of or Ayn Rand novels. (Odd lack of science fiction, though.) Maybe we'd get along terribly, but I'd like to meet this guy.
3. Profile begins with a joke about rape, then a sentence acknowledging that rape jokes are super awkward and he hopes we don't think he is, like, some kind of rapist or anything. I would not like to meet this guy.
Lesson: don't begin your profile with a rape joke. ...Also, probably don't include a rape joke at all? Although actually no, if you really like rape jokes, include them so I know that we can never be together.
(And yes, I did just check to make sure they are all actually different guys, and not one guy trying to game the system with three different profiles. THEY LOOKED THAT SIMILAR.)
