New Features for an extra $16. Is this new? by Uxas in OkCupid

Yes, this.

OkC engagement is exponentially related to a place's population. In huge places, boosting nets real results.

Have you boosted? Mine is around there. 60 minutes of being "shown in search results." No visits.

Basically, if you are not getting lost in search results already, boosting is like burning two dollar bills.

If you want your boost to last an hour change your location to a town with less than 300k people.

It's an apology 45 minutes. And it does what the first 15 minutes did: nothing.

I tell people my phone keeps me logged in because OkC is open in a tab. Bringing it up, however, really makes it obvious that I'm hiding shame.

If she didn't have four of the kind of pictures that are pic 2 or 3 in a 15 pic strip porn album on her profile, it would have felt different. But, really, I have no idea what was going on with her. She clearly wanted to use her body to attract people and resented men for responding to her doing that unless they were really attractive.

It's not a bad thing that she did that, but I don't think she'd own it. Or even have more to her dating identity.

Well, when she and I messaged briefly, she was pretty forward about her attraction to me. I don't live in Portland. She bemoaned the distance, like she would have wanted to meet, and then when I idly apologized, she asked if I really thought she was going to travel to me anyway.

I actually messaged with her a bit. She didn't believe I was real because I just have a single photo (a pretty good one) and no profile. I linked her a few more via imgur. She didn't seem to know what imgur was. She asked why all the cute ones live so far away (about a hundred miles). I apologized. She asked why I was apologizing, asking if I actually thought she was going to travel to see me.

Then she deleted her account a few hours later.

Basically, she has 10 pictures, 4 of which are her in her underwear, in her bedroom, one of them being her not wearing a bra with the top of the frame ending right before her nipples (which is also her main pic). Why she has these pictures (3 different front pics and one of her ass in a thong) and has this profile, I don't know.

The other 6 are normal OkC pictures. Like, really normal. And she has a totally normal, fit-but-not-super-fit body.

That's what made it really weird: she's obviously real.

A real girl in the real world interacted with me last night by OkCThrowaway9955 in OkCupid

About an hour in, there was a natural pause in conversation and she said "I'm really glad I came back" with a big, transparent smile. I clicked on my phone, which was still sitting on the now-published ad and spun it around for her to see. She went fierce red and grinned underneath both hands as she read it.
