A while back I saved these gems from my OKcupid inbox:

Wrightwinger (27/m/Saint Paul, MN) says:
Wow, I saw your picture, and instintly knew you would be an amazing person, equalied only by your otherwise unparrel beauty. As i read your profile, I realized i was right, you are amazing, and with very good tastes:)

then i saw you only date girls, and remembered you live in portland. I guess i dont know how to wrap this up, but your a true goddess in my book:)

TheKatrina, 33F, Catskill, NY writes this very short message:
Subject: random muttering of an insane mind

from Kat

On a related note, I keep getting messages on OKcupid, even though my profile states I’m in a relationship and not available. At first I was baffled, but then I realized that these were the same kinds of guys who still messaged me when my profile clearly stated I was a lesbian. Now that I’m also interested in guys, there’s nothing holding them back! *sigh*

A friend of mine has a note on her profile stating she’s only interested in talking to girls and non-smarmy guys. So predictably, she gets inundated with messages from guys insisting they are not smarmy.

I clicked on darb8000′s profile, and now I can’t stop giggling like a 9 year-old over the line: “I do not like tuna helper.”
Don’t know why, don’t care why. All I know for sure, is that the title of my autobiography is going to be: I Do Not Like Tuna Helper.

Okay, so I had exchanged a couple of quick emails with a guy,mostly talking about music as I had mentioned in my profile that I am a music buff, when he started sending me photos.One was of an empty hallway. One was of some old metal shelving in his basement. The last one was a picture that he had taken of himself in a mirror which was sitting on the floor of said basement, from the waist down. Fully clothed, in loose fitting jeans and boots. It actually would have been less creepy, if he had been naked. That way, I could have said, “Oh, you’re a pervert. That’s your thing.” But, alas, no. Just a shot of himself, fully clothed, from the waist down.
Sooo.. I was getting sufficiently creeped out by all of this,and wrote him one last email,and blew him off after that. Then he started sending me youtube videos. The first one came with a message saying, “Hey, music buff! This is for you.” It was a video of Carly Simon’s, “You’re So Vain.”
Actually, I had to laugh at that. Okay, so I’d pissed him off, and he’d gotten in a dig at me. KInd of clever. But then, he just kept sending me insulting youtube videos. Couldn’t tell you what they were, though, I stopped clicking on the link after the first one, but the messages that he sent with them, got more and more enraged. I closed that account at the end of the month.
