I'm on OK Cupid. I don't like it. I want to get off that site. I'll either do it myself or wait for the one who is going to take me off that site by removing me from the singles "market" whichever comes first. I get too many stupid messages from very young men who want to hook up with an older woman. And I'm not flattered. I'm turned off by the fact that it takes so much courage to give total strangers on the internet a chance, and that feeling of "Are you serious? I'm supposed to give out my phone number and accept dates blindly with complete strangers without any trust?" In fact, I feel like a scared rabbit.
While I am aware that there are so many men on OK Cupid for one reason and one reason only, to get laid without a relationship I am also on there for one reason and one reason only but a different one. I'm there in case of the rare possibility that I might be one of the occasional on-line success stories, one of the small percentage of users (I don't know what that is) who actually met someone special on-line. Like my former co-worker, now face book friend who met her husband on OK Cupid and is happily married. But if it is unlikely to happen then I would like to delete my account. I am just afraid that if I do it I'll shrink my dating options to almost zero because it is really hard for me to meet people, as much as I try to put myself out there into the world.
Does anyone have any knowledge about the likelihood of meeting someone special on OK Cupid based on others experiences or if you know people who were successful or had nothing but bad luck or just nothing at all? Is it even worth it for me to stay on there?
