I don't recall seeing duck face in the profiles I saw on OKC, but it just may be the type of women I was matched with weren't into the trend?


I've seen them on things like tinder. It's a new thing the past few years. Swipe left.


Never on a dating site though, but I sort by match percentage, so...

Like what? Lol. I checked out women's profiles on occasion and talked to some women. I became friends with a couple. (I'm also attracted to some women, but that wasn't the reason for checking out profiles.)

Exactly. Sorting that way, I rarely came across these types and their male counterparts. I remember there was an option to see whose online in your area, and that was usually when I'd come across uninteresting profiles or non-matches. And of course the messages I received that weren't from actual matches or people that shared a high match percentage.

A big problem I have run across is those with my highest percentage match are almost invariably much younger than I am.The majority are not interested in older.


It's too bad there isn't an extra selection for Extra Important Absolute Dealbreaker that was weighed so heavily that the rest wouldn't matter, like how adamant some are about smoking.
Answer that wrong and a 95% drops to 0.

This is like the bathroom selfies guys post. Is that the best they can do, really? Do they really think women want to see the shower curtain or toilet in the background? Why would it occur to them to photog themselves in the bathroom in the first place? It's mystifying.

I think some people are getting Timberline and Rocky mixed up.

Um, you think this is a guy thing? I don't look a dude profiles, but there are loads of women where all their pics are like this.

So why is it you created a thread about "we guys" if you've been in a relationship for 16 years? Why do you care what anyone does on OLD?

That's where their biggest mirror is?
Some do have dresser mirrors so you get to see an unmade bed. Careless or suggestive?
I vote careless.


Saw a nice looking man's the other day, taken in his kitchen.
Man, what a mess! Counters and table top cluttered to the max.

Maybe he thinks it supports his cry for a woman (to clean up)
