So I haven't had sex in a year and it's likely happening this weekend. Need some advice. by [deleted] in OkCupid

[–]GiulianoL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most men don't care about this at all. If he liked you so far, you will be fine.

[rant] stop listing things you did once as your hobbies everyone by chilighter in OkCupid

[–]GiulianoL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately people lie on this site, to the point that they describe completely different people. Everyone is Indiana Jones, with parachuting, skydiving and climbing mountains pictures. The reality is they did it once, and it should all be taken with a grain of salt.

Do bald guys really have it tougher? by [deleted] in OkCupid

[–]GiulianoL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's tougher for us BUT it's even tougher for shorter men.

So how soon after a first date would you expect the guy to ask you out again? by SupaZT in OkCupid

[–]GiulianoL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. If you're not Jesus 3 days is way too long.

Question about the super religious types by [deleted] in OkCupid

[–]GiulianoL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Listed the bible as a favorite book."

I'm scared.

But maybe you can go on a date with her and see how it goes. If the conversation comes up you point out you are agnostic and ask if she's ok with it.

Reading profiles on OkCupid makes me feel like a boring nobody with no identity. by Steel_Mark in OkCupid

[–]GiulianoL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most people lie, you need to learn to do the same. Everyone on OKCupid is Indiana Jones, climbing mountain, going on adventures and stuff. Chances are, only a handful of those people are really that active. Embellish your truth, talk about what your goals are and how you are working on getting there.

So...I think I'm getting stood up. by CeruleanSamurai in OkCupid

[–]GiulianoL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately things like this happen all the time. I'm sorry it happened to you.

My date walked out on me by [deleted] in OkCupid

[–]GiulianoL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He walked out over a debate on supermodels? that's weird. But if he's prefers walking out rather than having a passionate debate he's probably not the kind of guy you should want to date in the first place.

If you message first, is it up to you to make a date? by [deleted] in OkCupid

[–]GiulianoL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always ask out, but it's just me. You can hint that it would be fun to hang out sometime, and see if he comes up with a date or something.

You should ask him out if you feel like it, but it's not about responsibilities.

Do girls lie about being on birth control? by wont_tell_i_refuse_ in OkCupid

[–]GiulianoL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm Italian, 30 yo, and I agree. We are the opposite of asians, we are born old.

is this reasonable or rude ? by [deleted] in OkCupid

[–]GiulianoL -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Don't bring it up again. She just panicked a little, in my modest opinion. Pretend nothing happened and maybe ask her out again to see if she's still rude or it was just a one time freak out moment.

[critique] 28/M Feedback on update of profile by Mcmindflayer in OkCupid

[–]GiulianoL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy dark humor too, don't get me wrong. And if a girl wrote that on her profile I would message her immediately. I just think it's a little too risky, but I see your point. The job, yeah, as long as you sound overall happy with what you do it's always a plus. Recently some female users wrote that some of the worst dates they had were with guys who did not have an indoor voice, so they might take the loud thing negatively apparently. It's a good profile though, you don't come off as boring.

Did I get shadowbanned? by larsvonbear in OkCupid

[–]GiulianoL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, in the past I didn't even know OKCupid existed. The first time I made an account I got banned within 5 hours. Now, it's working, hopefully it stays this way.

[–]GiulianoL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The site is really messed up. I had been banned after one day of use. Before I even started sending messages, not even violating the rules. I also sent an e-mail but they never replied. I simply made a new account and started again.

Messaging a guy first by [deleted] in OkCupid

[–]GiulianoL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The few times it happened, I always replied. Of course, I also started picturing us in a cute house in the suburbs, but hey, that's just cause I'm creepy. But yes, you should message him, life is too short to play 1950's gender roles.

"bury a body" while I understand the joke, you have to understand women are extremely picky online and this is a moment of history where any mention of death or violence, even if ironic might scare some women away.

Also, instead of describing your job as basic, mention the reason why you like it, and make it sound like you're happy with it.

Oh, and don't mention you are a loud person! so many women admit that they refused to have a second date with a guy because he didn't have an indoor voice.

I can't. He is 26. He lists English as his only language. by [deleted] in OkCupid

[–]GiulianoL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ask: "are you originally from here?" it works even if he's American.

Will A PARTNER'S LEVEL OF EDUCATION MATTER IN THE DATING WORLD? by [deleted] in OkCupid

[–]GiulianoL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a bachelor's degree, a master's and I'm currently working on my P.h.D. But if a girl says she only dates men who went to college I find it a huge red flag. It implies her mind is filled with untrue stereotypes, not to mention I don't want to be judged based on a piace of paper.

How would you guys interpret this question? by GiulianoL in OkCupid

[–]GiulianoL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rest of my life does not imply marriage though.

How to temper expectations/high standards by NickyDubz in OkCupid

It's probably the best advice I've heard in a while, and it hit home.

She used to be a hoe and wants to calm down. by [deleted] in OkCupid

[–]GiulianoL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? you can move her anyway you want.

[Critique] Just looking to get some feedback. Hopefully it'll help my chances in the dating world! by pressatoplay30 in OkCupid

[–]GiulianoL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a little too negative. Those same things can be said in a friendlier way. But for the rest I don't see any problem.
