So there's a new girl in the picture. She's pretty cool, we've hung out once. She's not too religious, so that's a plus. But her boyfriend just dumped her, so that sucks. We'll see how this goes.

by **Pesto** » Mar 23 2009 11:56:56 am

Exactly how religious is "not too religious?"

by **Epaminondas** » Mar 23 2009 12:02:24 pm

What would not too religious do?

Anyway, go for it, get her on the rebound

Sent a message on OKC to a girl a couple weeks ago. No reply, but, well okay this sums it up:

So a couple weeks ago I sent you a message. Then every few days you look at my profile, then I look at yours, then you look at mine. Et cetera. Anyhow, I won't bite, so let me know if you're interested in talking, otherwise I'll stop looking back

Chatting with a girl I've met before but on OKC. Crashing and burning!

by **daoist** » May 12 2009 12:20:20 am

Pretty much here I'm seeing a fundamental failure for my sort of humor to get across:

[12:00:30 am]daoist:hey

[12:01:21 am]Lady:hello there!

[12:01:38 am]daoist:how are you doin?

[12:01:46 am]Lady:tired but good.

[12:02:38 am]daoist:same here. I just got back from the gym, having a snack before bed

[12:02:57 am]Lady:nice.

[12:03:34 am]daoist:yeah, too bad it wakes me up, makes it hard to get to sleep

[12:03:45 am]Lady:eating/

[12:03:46 am]Lady:?

[12:03:58 am]daoist:I felt like I have neglected my dog, so I stopped to get her a hamburger from mcd's.

[12:04:01 am]daoist:Working out

[12:04:37 am]Lady:..you give your dog hamburgers from macdonalds o.0

[12:04:53 am]daoist:I'm pretty sure it's the only reason she loves me

[12:05:01 am]Lady:...

[12:05:05 am]Lady:..

[12:05:08 am]daoist:lol

[12:05:10 am]Lady:...okay..

[12:05:23 am]daoist:also the walks, and the belly rubs.

[12:05:25 am]daoist:But that's about it

[12:05:36 am]Lady:ok

[12:05:41 am]Lady:bellyrubs are fun lol

[12:05:43 am]daoist:so what are your summer plans?

[12:05:44 am]daoist:lol

[12:06:10 am]Lady:school, working (to find) getting my business up and running online and relaxing.

[12:06:25 am]daoist:What sort of business is it?

[12:06:37 am]Lady:I make custom jewelry.

[12:06:45 am]daoist:If you're an internet prostitute this friendship is destined for failure

[12:06:49 am]daoist:whew!

[12:07:00 am]daoist:that's pretty badass

[12:07:06 am]Lady:thanks.

[12:07:12 am]daoist:I really dig it when people actually make something

[12:07:28 am]Lady:...though I deplore the use of the phrase "internet prosttute"

[12:07:34 am]daoist:rather than hobbies which just waste time

[12:07:39 am]daoist:why's that?

[12:07:57 am]Lady:screwoff, Ihave honnies too and I don't think they are a waste so

[12:08:13 am]Lady:it is detestable and degrading.

[12:08:35 am]daoist:lol, well that's most of my hobbies, just wasting time. That's why I look up to those that create things.

[12:08:47 am]Lady:ok...

[12:10:44 am]daoist:I didn't mean the phrase internet prostitute as a derogatory term for selling stuff or whatever, I was just joking around about the fake profiles that prostitutes put up to try to sell sex online. It's a joke because we know each other and it's obviously not true. So yeah. Maybe not a great joke.

[12:11:12 am]Lady:...maybe not...

[12:11:19 am]daoist:lol

[12:11:58 am]daoist:so I don't think we had much time to talk in person, what are you in school for?

[12:12:08 am]daoist:Forgive me if you've said so already, I have a horrible memory.

[12:12:21 am]Lady:masters or doctorate in psychlogy.

[12:12:31 am]daoist:that's awesome

[12:12:45 am]Lady:thank you

[12:12:50 am]daoist:how far along are you in that?

[12:13:13 am]Lady:>.< I need one laband one math credit to get my associates degree

[12:13:32 am]daoist:man that's close, doing that this summer?

[12:13:46 am]daoist:Some times I've seen it's hard to find the classes you need during teh summers

[12:14:00 am]Lady:not this summer.

[12:14:11 am]Lady:waiting to see how I did this last semester.

[12:14:21 am]daoist:cool

[12:17:05 am]daoist:Well I better get headed towards bed so I can get to work in the morning

[12:17:13 am]Lady:goodnight.

[12:17:23 am]daoist:you too, talk to you later

[12:17:32 am]Lady:cool ^.^

[12:17:34 am]Lady:bye

[12:17:42 am]daoist:bye!

Though she did at least fake being nice at the end. Not sure. Maybe I'm just not reading her right yet.

by **Epaminondas** » May 12 2009 12:32:06 am

If she's short of an associates, how's that the same as getting a doctorate?

by **daoist** » May 12 2009 12:58:02 am

Babysteps? But anyhow, what am I supposed to say? "LOL YOU ARE AN IDIOT BWAHAHAHAHA"? I don't think that'd be quite the "nice" thing to say. Regardless, it still beats the piss out of most single women in Iowa I find.

by **Talenos** » May 12 2009 01:10:53 am

way too many lols in that conversation.

by **Tom the Cat** » May 12 2009 06:50:25 am

I think this sums up my impressions of that conversation best:

>.<

by **Mr. Bloodthirsty** » May 12 2009 08:48:39 am

I thought it was common knowledge that you don't use the term "prostitute" in any way shape or form (especially in reference to the woman in the conversation) when you first meet a potential romantic partner. You're blazing new trails, Dao.

by **daoist** » May 12 2009 08:53:47 am

Did you guys get what I was going for, at least?

I'm pretty sure she thought I called her a whore.

by **DTower5** » May 12 2009 09:07:49 am

That being said, I disagree that you can't call women whores, just depends on the women

by **PaulMuaDib** » May 12 2009 09:09:09 am

i understood. seems like she things that you think that by trying to sell custom jewelry stuff online she's a whore. gg.

by **daoist** » May 12 2009 09:10:11 am

Nah, I didn't call her a whore. The worst insult I could be rightly accused of using is to call her not a prostitute. For a second I thought about explaining that prostitutes are people who trade sex for money, and that some of them work online via creating fake dating profiles on places like okcupid, craigslist, etc. And that the reason I said that is that I've met her in person and it's obviously not the case. But anyhow, that'd be too patronizing. Though, in retrospect, maybe not patronizing enough.

by **fiveSD** » May 12 2009 09:57:40 am

agreed on the too many lols,
and

you yourself just alluded to friendship there. just sayin.
but considering she didn't get the joke, i'm pretty sure you're safe.

by **daoist** » May 12 2009 10:00:49 am

Oh I'm pretty sure we don't mesh well enough to date.

by **themadninja** » May 12 2009 10:15:47 am

Definitely might want to take it easy on insulting various things when you're first meeting the ladies. I'm guessing you have a lot of "cancer lol!" "My mom has cancer" moments. The one about hobbies in this, for example.

by **daoist** » May 12 2009 10:22:42 am

I didn't insult anything. And no, I don't have a lot of "cancer, lol" moments.

by **Wargazm** » May 12 2009 10:24:39 am

reading that conversation, I honestly can't understand what goes through your head.

by **Wargazm** » May 12 2009 10:25:06 am

and how you can make those kind of comments in a medium like IM, where you have the chance to revise what you say...it just baffles me.

by **daoist** » May 12 2009 10:27:40 am

Yeah, our style of conversation doesn't mesh at all.

by **Wargazm** » May 12 2009 10:29:22 am

.....that's not really what I was getting at, but ok.

by **daoist** » May 12 2009 10:34:34 am

Normally the "can I pay you money for sex? haha your hobby sucks" stuff goes over like gangbusters. What can I say? She must have a problem.

by **Wargazm** » May 12 2009 10:35:34 am

[12:06:37 am]Lady:I make custom jewelry.

[12:06:45 am]daoist:If you're an internet prostitute this friendship is destined for failure

It was this jump right here. What the hell was going through your head?

by **daoist** » May 12 2009 10:53:04 am

It went more like this:

[12:06:10 am]Lady:school, working (to find) getting my business up and running online and relaxing.

[12:06:25 am]daoist:What sort of business is it?

[12:06:45 am]daoist:If you're an internet prostitute this friendship is destined for failure

Due to the high latency of OKCupid chat, I didn't see her reply until I'd entered both lines.

You insulted all hobbies, and women. That kind of stuff doesn't usually go over great, even when it is a joke. And most especially, stuff you can get away with after knowing each other for a couple months is a LOT more than you can get away with in the first day or two. You gotta give her time to start liking you, so she can laugh off the bad jokes. That's just how it works.

by **daoist** » May 12 2009 11:10:55 am

Dude, spell it out. I'm not seeing it. Don't tmn me here.

by **Wargazm** » May 12 2009 11:27:55 am

you *didn't* insult all hobbies. you *didn't* insult all women. But you made an off-hand joke to someone who you barely know. It's all too easy to imagine a possible train of thought here:

daoist: If you're an internet prostitute this friendship is destined for failure
Girl (thinking): what the hell? why would he say that? what would make him think I'm an internet prostitute?

And that's it....you're done. Doesn't matter if you explain the joke, doesn't matter if she buys your explanation. You'll always be the guy who assumed she was an internet prostitute. It would take a miracle for a girl to rebound from that initial stigma and still want to get to know you.

Shit man, this doesn't even apply to just girls. If you were chatting with me and said "you better not be a popped-collar douchebag" or something along those lines right off the bat, I'd think you were a dick and probably not want to talk to you again either.

I don't mean to be flippant. You might have a point with the first issue. But with the hobbies thing I think she was just bent out of shape for no good reason. I've played dungeons and dragons with that girl.

Anyhow, that's what I was talking about when I was saying we don't mesh. Despite having the common pool of experiences to draw upon for humor, most of it flies over her head, and she seems to get personally offended at the drop of a hat.

Try not to make as many jokes in the future. You're trying too hard to be the life of the conversation and you end up saying things with out really thinking. I've seen it in quite a few of your conversations.
