We're not feeding the trolls, we're telling them to **** off and then blocking and reporting them. They are wasting OUR time, not the other way around.
You clearly don't understand the nature of trolling. Engaging them, positively or negatively (they prefer the latter, actually, as they're generally borderline, or outright, sociopathic) IS feeding them. Read up on the phenomenon, for crissakes.

No need to be rude. The vast majority of those men get no response at all.
I deleted my OKC profile a while back. I started traveling too much and I never used it that much anyway. I also noticed that my "matches" were starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel (not to be mean but I have a good idea of what I can pull). I got a few dates off it when I had a profile but I just never put much effort into it. Very few profiles really intrigued me and I found myself being a little to quick to dismiss someone for something trivial. I had above a .300 avg as far as responses which I suppose is actually pretty good and I occasionally received messages from women but most were below average.
I know it sounds shallow but I can go to Wal Mart to pick up unattractive women. I don't need a dating site for that.
My husband said he received about three messages a week, on average. The guy I was with before, whom I also met on OKC, dated/went out with a few women he met on Match and OKC. He had "good luck" then, but after we broke up he hated it. Said he wasn't getting any interest from the women he was interested in.

I have plans to meet someone tomorrow from OKC who I emailed first. This is the first time in 3 stints on OKC over the last few years that I'm actually meeting someone. Nothing in his profile jumped out as a red flag, though it would be nice if he had a picture that was more recent than 5 years old for the purpose of being sure to recognize him if it's crowded.

His pictures being 5 years old didn't make a difference. He was still recognizable and may actually be more attractive now than he was then. However, he is shorter than me and that's a bit of a turnoff as I'd prefer a man who is taller than I am. (I'm 5'4").
It went okay, I guess. I was feeling ambivalent about it earlier today and I'm still feeling that way now that it's over.

Got responses to your messages? No.
Got messages that turned into actual dates? Yes, one.
Dates turned into actual relationships? Yes, one.
Relationships turned into marriage? Yes.
I sent out a few, articulate messages, nothing of the "HEY U FINE" sort and never got a response. Though I did receive a few messages from other women that I did reply to, but weren't really interested.
One day, a woman who I was highly compatible with (according to their matching system) messaged me and after a week or so, we started dating. About a month later, it was exclusive and a year and a half later, we were married.
It's been a great relationship from day one. Even though we don't really share a whole lot with regards to our hobbies and such, our personalities match like no other. She's like a best friend that it's okay to be in love with.
My advice: Don't wait for that perfect person, because there really is no such thing. It's okay to have certain demands that must be met for a partner, but I don't suggest putting every little detail on the list. There are things you can compromise with and still be happy.
