OkCupid
Over the years, I've watched and listened as friends have created profiles at different online dating sites, with varying degrees of success. I mean, I'm not knocking the online dating world; my mom got married to a great guy she met on eHarmony, and my best friend dated a dude from OkCupid for like 3 years!
Anyway, I have been a member of the Coupled Community for the better part of the past decade. This kind of freaks me out in some ways, considering that I'm going to be 27 in a month. As such, I've never really had the opportunity or reason to have a profile on any online dating sites. In fact, having had one probably would've caused serious rifts with my varying significant others. After all: "But I only did it because I wanted to see what kind of crazy people would say ridiculous stuff to me!" is a pretty lame excuse, even if a true one.
So now that I'm NOT in a relationship with anyone anymore, and will soon be moving back to a city of roughly 3 million people, I figured: what the fuck! I'm going to make an OkCupid profile and see what kind of crazy shit comes my way.
I GIVE YOU THAT FIRST INSTALLATION.

- Points off for lack of comma usage.
- Dude, you really don't ever want to hear me sing. Not even at karaoke, and not even if we're drunk. This message was just kind of...weird.
- Please note that my profile indicates that people commonly tell me that I look like Mariska Hargitay, which probably isn't the worst thing in the world.
- WELL, I'M GLAD IT DOESN'T BOTHER YOU.
- You are correct, sir. I AM tall. Been tall my whole life. People still seem to love to point this out to me, as if I had perhaps never noticed that I was tall before.
- Does being tall typically negate good taste in music?
