While I do sometimes judge an OkCupid user's whole existence based on his misuse of "your," it should be noted that I'm less harsh when it comes to words that have been out of common usage for centuries.
The first three all annoy me in different ways but that last one kind of turns me on. Ugh, I'm really never going to find someone. I wish I could say "always. I cannot account for what I do or do not manage to say at those moments.
In my high school environmental studies class, when studying the detrimental impact a pipeline through Alaska would have on wildlife, one girl asked: "If the animals are in the way of the pipeline, why don't we just, like, kill all the animals?
I wonder what she's doing now. I bet she'd kill all the mosquitoes — er, "mosqutoes. I care about ecosystems and the butterfly effect and everything like that.
I'm not a monster. I wasn't particularly picked on, but neither was kill-all-the-animals girl. I may have attended an exceptionally accepting school. At least more accepting than OkCupid's algorithm. Is this question meant to help nerds find each other? Or weed them out? An ex of mine thought it was funny to pass gas in bed and then trap me under the covers, effectively hot-boxing me with noxious air.
It was difficult to find anything humorous from that perspective. It's possible to be too comfortable, as it turns out. But this OkCupid thing is for finding my forever-love, and forever is a long time to, uh, hold back. I think?
It's actually a funny story, involving some old friends and an ongoing joke we share — well, probably not that funny to anybody else. Or relevant. How many of these questions deal with bodily functions and toilets? When do we get to the ones about how deserving I am of a man with beautiful arms and at least mediocre listening skills? Once, OkC recommended me as a match to my brother. Not the website's fault, really, and my brother reasoned that it was bound to happen because we both answered "yes" to this question and rated believing in dinosaurs as "very Important" — even though I've never been sure what "believe" means in this context.
Once you've answered a question, you can't fully remove it or un-answer it. You can mark it "Irrelevant" and set your answer to private so other members won't be able to see your answer if you'd prefer. This is because we also take into account the importance level that both of you have selected. Even if you choose the same answer, if one of you said it's "very important" and the other says it's "irrelevant" then it doesn't count as a match.
Because of that, some of our questions will be specific to this country, especially political questions which are very important to people these days.
Of course, we recognize that not everyone on OkCupid is in America, and we have plenty of general questions that will apply to everyone. Please feel free to skip any questions that don't apply to you!
That said, we DO ask specific questions for people in other countries, based around the customs, politics, and pop culture in each country!
