OkCupid message o'the day
You sound mildly terrifying. Which is all the more reason I'd like to get to know you. So how does one be 'somewhat serious' about their religion. I'm 'laughing about' Buddhism but I am seriously Buddhist. Duality becoming one is very Zen. 1 X 2 = 1. Don't analyze that too thoroughly. I don't have any tattoo's... don't have a problem with them but I think I'm more unique for not having any. I'm comfortable in my own skin, can't imagine wearing another persons would be comfortable, or hygienic for that matter. No, I didn't spell-check hygienic, though I did spell-check spell-check. I gab somewhat. I can hold a conversation...hostage. Not really in a position to have a relationship at the moment, my living situation is... let's go with tenuous. Not currently, romantically, involved or living with a significant other at the moment either. Just so happens I know a fair bit about serial killers myself, Wisconsin has hosted quite a few. You seem earthly. Tell me something that isn't on your profile. - Matt

Re: OkCupid message o'the day
Seriously creepy -- and trying too hard.
Yowza....
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
This means he lives with his parents.
I'd have the same reaction you did. Block and delete!
Speaking of blocking, is there a limit to how many people on OKC you can block? If so, I might be in trouble eventually.
I had one last week from a guy who was married. But he warned me not to judge and to read his profile first. Apparently it was ok and all on the up-and-up because his wife actually told him to go out and find a FWB. Oh, ok, in that case, let's go out! LOL. I had to send a smarta$$ reply to that one. And then I did the block and delete.
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
Red flag words that should not occur in the first email exchange:
hostage
serial killers
terrifying
hygienic
and weighing the pros and cons of wearing someone else's skin.
I'm cracking up....I've re-read it a bunch of times and it's like a new little gem just keeps popping up! I think I'll invite him over for dinner with my kids! He seems like quite the catch!!
At least the ones on OKC are sort of funny. On Match, I just keep getting married guys (like they just filed yesterday) and for whatever reason the last two that emailed were still living with their wives.
And would you describe yourself as earthly? Unless you're a hippie, that's not a compliment! Oh wait, that would be earthy. Does earthly mean you don't seem like an alien?
This one is all kinds of funny!
I am FAR from earthy and have no clue where he would even get that from! I love heels, dressing up and wearing make-up! All of my pictures are of me looking nice. Hell, I don't even own a single pair of sweatpants (not that I'm high maintenance).
I'm also not an alien
And people who talk about knowing a fair bit about serial killers. ::shudder::
"You don't get to be all puke-face about your kid shooting your undead baby daddy when all you had to do was KEEP HIM IN THE FLUCKING HOUSE, LORI!" - doctorwho
Haha! I was actually going to suggest that the peeps of SO start holding contests to see who can come up with the funniest repsonses to these creepy messages. Then the winning response is sent back to crazy town.
" I gab somewhat. I can hold a conversation...hostage."
OH MY GOD this made me laugh so f'ing hard.
Yesterday OKC gave me this dude in my quiver match, he looked like some hardcore metal head and had some very long hair gelled up to look like a freaking unicorn horn or something, I was so startled I just hit NOT INTERESTED too fast and never got a screen cap of it. Sigh. I will find you again some day, unicorn hair guy!!
Do it! And report back regarding the craziness! Get one good response, and then do the block and delete!
I'm usually too chicken to wait around for a creepy response. If I say something snarky or sarcasitc back regarding craziness, I block immediately. I don't want to have nightmares over what creepiness might come back...again.
Hello Clarice. Is it just me, or did anyone else picture Silence of the Lambs after reading that?
I wouldnt blame you a bit for not wanting to engage the weird, but if you do here is a start for a response:
"Somewhat serious" about my religion means I go to church, but I am usually tooling around on my Ipad and not paying attention. Shame you dont have any tattoos, I have several. They are all of serial killers that Wisconsin "hosted". I dont think we would be a good match based on you "not feeling comfortable in another person's skin". I am actually wearing someone's else's skin right now...his name was also Matt and met him thru on-line dating. Crazy right!? Something not in my profile?? Hmmmm....well I did kick Vanilla Ice in his balls once.
Tweak as you must.
LMAO!
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
This is awesome! I'm going to start posting my creepy/crazy messages for you to come up with responses to them. I may even have fun with this and start coming up with my own. This could be a new hobby.
LOL...would be glad to help.
Holy jeebus....this is hilarious and I am totally using this!
Will do!! LOL...really hoping his repsonse is even crazier than the first.
Secretly, so am I!!!!
I'm torn between laughing, being totally creeped out, and giving him points for trying. It was more than "hi".
