That just seems like an awful name for a dating website.

But I guess if it's filled with people looking to hook up...it's the most successful site on the net!

Same here! I got a 99% match with one of my friends, a 95% with another, and (ew) 98% with my sister.

I also found a coworker on there a few years ago, and we had a match % in the 90's. I didn't look at her profile because it shows who's looked at you lately and didn't want to give her the impression I was all into her, but she saw me and messaged me...

I have a friends who uses OKC to get laid only because the women on that site apparently are all crazy as hell, at least the women around here.

I mean I'm terrible to talk to about this since I've never used dating websites to get a date, but I can't see how it couldn't be almost as bad since it's also free.

This is just SO dumb! First of all, shared activities are not that important. Second of all, the majority of people lie through their teetch in order to look "interesting" and "passionate about something" and list a number of things they may have done once in their life (perhaps 10 or 20 years ago) or perhaps MAY do some day...

I think it's because less people know about OKC. It doesn't seem to get nearly as much traffic as POF.

That was one of my biggest fears... my coworkers were HARSH. They used to create cragslist 'missed connections' posts to lure in other coworkers/friends to mess with them.

That was the main reason I was extremely hesitant to start a online dating profile because if they ever found out I can guarantee they would have made my life miserable. Now that I'm not working there anymore I've started a profile. It hasn't gone well so far.

I've been like that with my best friend for years. I bet we'd be a match too.

C'est la vie.

A friend showed me the site. They have forums there. They really mean it when they say enter if you dare

It really is dumb. I mean, sure: you got a $39 skydive special on Groupon and went skydiving. Sweet! Does that mean that you're a skydiver or daredevil? Not necessarily. I ride my bike. A lot. Like, 25 miles a day. But how many pictures do I have on my profile of me riding? None.

I can imagine it's a lot of cybering, half-naked pics, or trying to convince every woman that for 30 minutes he can solve all of her problems with his penis.
