OLD is a challenge, in some ways. I like to experiment by tweaking with my profile, and it works somewhat.
I don't have a photo on mine at the moment, and have 8 women chatting with me but only two are really interested in meeting, and all on one site.
It's a mixed bag really.

Dates turned into actual relationships?Hellll no
Relationships turned into marriage?Hellll no

I hear in the online dating world there is a lot of serial dating as people have so much choice they are always of the mindset that there is something better out there, this is especially true for women who get inundated with replies. Do you think there is any truth to this?
I became a serial dater yes but not because of OKC. I became a serial dater in POF. I actually met my husband there.

You should get on. I just got back from my date and the dude was totally hot. He might've been a little bit off, but I'm still gonna try to sex him up anyway.

Well, he's definitely hot, but he has the personality and mannerisms of someone who doesn't realize that he's hot. Works for me!

Below 80% and I never did.
My husband and I came up with abysmally low compatibility percentages, because I hadn't answered ANY questions! We're actually insanely compatible, you just wouldn't know it from that particular system.

Yap. I concur. Gosh people answering those thousands of questions for compatibility?!! I have no patience for that. At all. POF don't have those questionnaires and me and my husband found each other there.

Our marriage is not perfect but whose marriage is? What matters is I am happy. Most times.

In fact, my evidence that compatibility shenanigan in OKC does not work is because I met this guy in person I met in POF. He is super cheap, super boring, definitely not into me. And we had that one of my many first time meets. Fast forward months later, I got an email that I am compatible with that same guy on OKC. Guess what I did? I laughed. And deleted the worthless message. LOL. What a joke.

Met a guy on POF, kind of randomly. We looked up our OKC profiles and we were around 80% compatible. Almost all our questions were answered very differently. In fact, had I seen him on there first, I would have totally bypassed him and never looked back, just because of his answers and he said the same thing about me. And yet, we are very compatible. Go figure. I think the questions is a good way to be super picky about things that may not matter in the long run.

OKC was a nice ego boost. I got lots of "let's hook up" messages....even some from young 20-year-olds (oh gawd, does that make me cougar?). POF was even better. I got a lot of men who obviously married or involved. I guess they're stupid enough to think women can't tell. Haha. Had some great conversations with people...mostly because I'm the type to say, "thanks but no thanks" and they appreciated that.
