Are Men on OKCupid Desperate for Attention?

Looks like you've got a date Pengy

Since the talk of OKCupid I decided to take a look. I apparently signed up years ago to take their test because a friend posted it on their blog.

Any way I quickly remembered the reasons why I cringe to look at profiles. People who describe themselves as "random". People who use words incorrectly and note their higher education in the same sentence. People who don't list anything under favourite books. Or who do list favourite books that happen to be really bad. Or nothing but your standard "intellectual" classics. Or magazines... :-/

The funny part though was when they listed my ex girlfriend as a match. 84% match, 56% friend. And indeed we have not been friends.

Men are obviously not all pathetic though. Its like everything, the bad ones shout the loudest. Met a great guy today! I love it how physics guys describe non-science things using graphs!

What did he graph?

 

[nucleargirl]

several things, it was all a bit of a blurr to my non-math brain, but I like how he described the x-axis and y-axis and the use of words like plateau and exponential...

Did he perhaps graph this?

There's a plateau and an exponential in it...

Thank god, so I'm not the only person who does this!

This has a downside, though:
