OKCupid game

I think I may have found the perfect way to search for prospects on OKCupid. First, pour a glass of wine. GEt on hangouts or skype with one of your buddies, preferably the opposite sex so one can use his/her bullshit detector. Log on to the dating site. My friends and I can be logged onto OKCupid at the same time in two different places as me. Search together and discuss your options. Last night, when James and were looking at OKCupid together we had  so much fun. We had a lot of laughs and it is helpful to get some guidance. And I noticed when I peruse OKCupid James and Marty they think that different men are appealing and options whom I don't think are options. Since I have had bad luck with men I am thinking I should listen to them and if they think a man seems to be nice then I should message him or rate him highly and wait for a message from him. It has been enlightening for me to see how different our choices are for me. I will admit. I don't really read much of the profiles (I just look for red flags) when going through Matches and Quick Matches. Primarily, I look at the photos: I'm very visual. If the guy is a fatty or has the crazy eyes I skip him or decline rating him. James and Marty read the profiles and comment on things said in the profile which is very helpful.

I heard about a drinking game that's played while looking for matches on various dating sites. It involves taking a shot when matches are made. I like searching together as James and I were last night. While discussing my matches we make up stories, jokes, discuss the differences between men and women, what our goals are with regard to the opposite sex, relationships, the value of friendships which I believe are underrated, we work on my next blog, etc. It's fun and enlightening. I will say James was a little concerned because he had clicked on the guy I used to go out with and thought the guy might think I'm cyber stalking him. He brought it up a couple of times. But I told him not to worry about it. That guy will never meet another woman like me or even close to the person I am. James said I was right and that in six months I will realize that the guy did me a favor if I even think of him at all and the guy should have considered himself lucky I had anything to do with him considering how great I am. Friends are wonderful.
