I suppose it's kind of like eHarmony or Match in that you answers questions and it matches you with people based on your "compatibility." However, because it's free, it's a rather simple (or perhaps erroneous) algorithm.
Anyway, it's weird and kind of creepy, so to make myself feel better, I'm posting my adventures here for your enjoyment.
After you receive your "matches," you can go to their profile, read about them, and look at their photos. Then you can message them. This all well and good, but think about it in reverse.... They look at your photos and then message you.... all sorts of things can go wrong. For instance, today I got this message...
"hey seksi"
...Classy. I'm not even sure if it's supposed to be ironic.
Also, as further proof of the inaccuracy of OkCupid's matching program, here's a fellow who messaged me a few days ago...
I'm sure he's a very nice young man. But if you know me at all, not exactly my type. (I mean, unless it's Comic-Con or the release of the latest Harry Potter film.)
Anyway... stay tuned for more of my adventures in the internet dating scene!
