I was just browsing some and remembered one I really liked was this girl who poked fun at the fact that she was Canadian. Like she had all these super cliche things in her OKC profile. Like under the things I'm really good at it would be things like, "Hockey, confusing bacon with ham, etc." I can't remember it exactly, but it was a lot funnier than I'm explaining it (rather poorly).

I was just thinking of making my profile the same then under "Most private thing I'll admit" section putting, "I'm not really Canadian."

I have not seen any I can think of. I've seen some ones that were funny to laugh at, not with. Like some 50 year old guy listed as a female. He had a grey beard and even listed his age as 24; very strange.

Your idea sounds funny though, give it a try and go for the Canadian girl!

Okay, I just found one I laughed at rather than with, but didn't want to make a whole new thread about it. This woman didn't fill out the part about whether she had kids. Then she mentioned in her profile that she was single mom. The kicker is she filled out another section with, "Might want kids." Poor kid!

A guy who listed every single thing he had done in the past year. Oh wait, you said funny in a good way.

I found one woman who I had with a high match percentage, some common interests, and who I found pretty attractive. However, I didn't message her because she wrote a goddamn book for her profile! Seriously, I'm tempted to go back and copy and paste it into MS Word just to see what the word count was!

I get that some people like to be detailed and everything, but there are limits! Plus, it just seems like it could be a huge waste of time for me. If that's her profile I'm curious what she'd want for a message. A novelette maybe? Then there's also that possibility with online dating of ghosting. That would be way too annoying if she just disappeared after a few encyclopedias worth of text exchanges all before the first date!

I'd rather it be TOO wordy than not wordy enough.

Other than mine? There were a few that really shined in the sense of humor department. Those were always fun.

My profile was 2100 words long, and it was bloody fantastic. It was very "**** it. I'm going to do my thing and have fun." and I did, and it was a hit.

I usually started with something humorous, and followed with a "real" response to the prompt. Like on OKC where it says: I’m really good at

and I responded with:
Quote:
Hopscotch, jump rope, drawing stick figures, being late to important appointments, Chutes and Ladders, fleeing from cops, shopping for good deals at the 99 cent store, and many others.
'Cause, why not?
