I've been honest in my OKC profile and put that once I was in an intimate relationship I would want to have sex every day. I've looked at hundreds of profiles, most likely, and I can count on one hand the number of guys who have answered that question the same way. The vast, vast majority have put that they expect to have sex every other day, and many of these men have also put down that their sex drives are higher than average.

So are these guys just being realistic about the feasibility of how often they would be able to fit sex into their schedules or are they simply out and out lying?

you mean they actually ask you stuff like that?....I'm thinking that your answer (sex every day),or ANY answer to a silly question like that would be enough to scare anyone away.

most likely lie about it, becasue they would get prescreened and never get any woman to reply. Ladies already have an insane advantage in online dating and it wouldnt be very wise for a guy to add to it. Maybe there is a way to skip that question altogether?

You can skip any question you want and you don't even have to answer any of them, unless it's changed in the last 15 months.

So, there you go. WHy would any guy answer this type of question is beyoind me. No matter how you answer it, you lose some of those that may otherwise be interested. Not very thoughtful on OKC's part imo.

You can skip any question you want on it. I figured I'd be up-front. Mismatched sexual desire is a leading cause of unhappiness in relationships, and sex is important to me. Almost all guys choose to answer that question, but they almost always say "every other day." Now, I don't expect to see my significant other every day, but if we're spending time together, once we've started having sex, in my ideal scenario, we'd make it happen every time we got together if it was feasible.

OKCupid is all about the silly questions. And I'm not going to be coy or lie.

I don't sleep around. But I enjoy sex immensely and I don't want to be in a relationship with someone who doesn't value it in a similar way. I'm perfectly happy to "scare away" anyone threatened by my answer.

Well, youre a lady, so answering it every time we go out, would prolly get alot more guys interested. Guys would want to answer it honestly too, in the same way, but then they would be automaticaly disqalified by most of the women, who would believe that all they want is sex. Just another double standard imo.

I'm not a fan of double standards. But I do click right past the guys who put "once a week" - like, seriously?
