Officially, I don't know what works and what does not work. But try it!

OKCupid measures 'success' by getting a message. Because that's a discrete, measureable action that is able to be quantified and compared with others.

But my standard for success is to meet someone and begin a relationship so good, I delete my OKCupid acct and never look back.

Of course saying that you don't have any warrants out for your arrest or on probation isn't a positive attribute, that is why its funny IMO. From some of the women saying how many men they've met that have been in jail or on probation I thought this would speak to them.

This is the list of questions that inspired my list from a woman's profile. I thought it was funny that she was prescreening the men before they tried to contact her with such obvious red flags. So I thought it would be funny to have a list of prequalifications on my profile.

Can you spell above a third grade level? Do your emails come with a Secret Decoder Ring to help me understand your poor grammar?
Do you shower regularly? And perform basic manscaping (hair maintenance) rituals?
Are there any warrants out for your arrest?
Do you have a job? (Collecting Unemployment, or Social Security don't count).
Are you closer to my age, than my father or my sons ages?
Is "happy hour" part of your daily commute?
Have you ever missed a meal?
Do you smell like your last bowl of weed?
Is your IQ higher than your waist measurement?

I can see me now. Breaking out the shaving bag. Carefully placing a pure white handtowel to my right on the sink. Working up the lather in the shaving bowl. Chanting here and there lol.

Nothing original about this. I wouldn't give your profile a second look.
