In a fit of boredom last night, I joined OkCupid--what do I need to know?

You're a girl! You're hot! Demand anything you want! Make everyone suffer!
You'll also see a lot of unsolicited penis.
Unsolicited penis sounds like the opening act at a punk show.
Very true. I need to get rid of mine. It's pretty boring.
I stalked rhumba the other day though, that was amusing.
Many men will try to come on to you in a friendly, non-offensive way, in hopes of sliding in the nerd peen.
@matthew: you did stalk me! i took me a sec to figure out that it was a friend and not a foe.
As a newly-signed-up female, your first week will bring a fucking AVALANCHE to your inbox -- I wouldn't be surprised at approximately 100 messages in the first 48 hours. After a couple of weeks it will taper off to just several a day.
you need to know my name is "thewayigetby" and give me crazy star ratings
I actually met a couple cool people so far, like this guy that lives down the street who is a beekeeper.
mostly you will get notes that are cringe-inducing.
i never respond to people who have "casual sex partners" or whatever the term is listed as why they're there.
it's so gross. it just comes off as sleazy to have that option. of course people are mostly down with it, especially boytypes. you don't need to BROADCAST it.
Turn off the ability to get "woo"s. Lazy people will "woo" you, but never message you, or "woo" you 5 times and then when you don't respond, they'll say things like, "DIDN'T YOU SEE I WOOED YOU?!?? ***SOB***!!
Really fucking annoying.
That's not entirely true. I've woo'd girls when I didn't feel I had the time to write anything worthwhile, but wanted to let them know I was interested. And, if a girl woo's me back, I definitely message them.
My profile might be the dumbest thing ever. The guys messaging me must like functional retards.

I should write on my profile that I fucking hate ellipses. The first note I got was full of them. EURGH.
