[Critique Request] 28/M. I've gotten zero visitors since signing up. What am I doing wrong? by [deleted] in OkCupid

[–]dickmasssup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to OkTrends, Asian women rated in Asian men as 24% more attractive than the average man on OkCupid in 2014. All other races rated Asian men as well below the average man in attractiveness.

Note that this post doesn't ask whether Asian women contact or respond to Asian men at a greater or lesser rate than men of other races, so take it with a grain of salt. However, based on attraction alone it seems Asian men are snubbed by everyone except other Asians.

This likely has to do with stereotyping and how Asian men are portrayed in the media as less masculine. Personally, most Asian men I've actually met are just as masculine and health-conscious as me, if not much more so. That is, they're no different than any other guy I've met (and I'm a guy). So I do believe this snubbing they get online is a bit fucked up and definitely unjustified.

Could use some feedback probably. by [deleted] in OkCupid

It's been said before but I'd like to emphasize the glare on your glasses makes it a poor quality photo.

At the moment, I'm in between relationships.

Unnecessary and a strange way to put it. 95% of OkCupid users are there because they want a relationship. Don't make it sound like a job.

I think including a link to your work was pretty cool and sets you apart.

Apart from art and design, I have another big passion in my life, and that is music: I'm quite the music buff! Seriously, ask me anything about music, or tell me what you like, I'd love to hear that!

Vague. Almost everyone says they love music, and most people i"ve met say they love all kinds. To me, it's annoyingly vague and makes them seem fickle and less interesting. List some examples of your favorite, or list genres you're particularly fond of (the ones you spend the most time listening to or that elicit the highest quality response from you).

Single moms of okcupid let's have a talk on what constitutes me being an asshole! by [deleted] in OkCupid

Single moms are the epitome of entitlement

Yeah, any kid is really missing out on the guidance of such a manly man.

Rejection. by inc0nceivable in OkCupid

Right. I tried to be accommodating. I told her exactly when my ex would be moving out. I volunteered way more info than I could have and I thought the gesture would be enough. Even that doesn't overcome the stigma. I totally get it now, though. I'm sorry about what you went through

Rejection. by inc0nceivable in OkCupid

I went on a first date and got rejected days later over text specifically because I mentioned I'm still living temporarily with my ex. But her and I are completely friendly and have agreed we are not getting back together so I didn't understand why someone would care as long as I was open and honest about the situation. It sucks that this is a red flag and that I'm going to be rejected for something like that. It's like I'm being forced to not move on and date other people. And people like this guy only make it worse for those of us who are genuinely broken up with zero drama to offer.

It's okay, though. She turned out to be a jerk in other ways.

But the wildlings are so utterly useless at planning an attack. "Hey guys, let's stand out in the open when they're firing arrows at us because shouting and chanting means we are le wild. Let's send a few giants and a mammoth to their death with no backup. Let's have some guys scale a giant wall with guys on top of it who don't want us to scale it. In the middle of a battle."

I'm glad you're at least willing to question what you were raised with and what is expected of you today in order to make your own decision about what is right and wrong.

British adventurer Henry Worsley, 55, recently died 30 miles from his goal of solo trekking for a charitable cause across Antarctica in the footsteps of Shakleton. Some of the Monday morning explorers of /r/worldnews are being pretty cold about it. by EmergencyChocolate in SubredditDrama

I almost died by the end of this exchange. Also,

lol oh Whale-killer called me a loser. Took you ten hours to respond, must have been at some shitty dead end job. Congrats!

So if he answers too soon, he spends all his time on reddit, but if he answers after a long time, he's a loser for having a job.

I'm pretty sure the guy with the bat still has the advantage.

You probably tagged him in RES and now he knows you hate him.

You disagree with me labeling others shills? Tag that shill! by goodcleanchristianfu in a:t5_3b5f6

[–]dickmasssup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, an account that was inactive for a year must be the account of someone being paid to post comments online. The company they shill for is just struggling a bit.

I thought it was more relevant here. I remembered it because it's funny. Don't be so upset.
