OkCupid is the funniest damn thing... - Page 4

All you guys know just a little too much about OKCupid.

RickZarber · 06-17-2010, 10:12 PM

And not enough about Highlander! Except for Krylo.

Tangentally related story:

Y'all remember Hot or Not? (For those who don't, basically a site where you could upload your picture and people would rank you on a scale of attractiveness from 1 to 10.) Well, several years ago, when my brother had long hair, we took a picture of him in a fairly feminine pose and posted it to Hot or Not as a female. The only photoshopping involved was that I replicated an earring onto his right ear to match his left, and the removal of a few moles here and there. That's it. (EDIT: Oh yeah, and he was wearing glasses--which were his, but he didn't normally wear them.)

After a few weeks we checked back, and he had an average score of 9.7! Yeah.

The best part was that he then posted a much more masculine photo of himself up (listed as a guy) and it only got a 6.8 or something like that.

EDIT FOR BELOW, so as not to derail topic any further: What's the compelling argument for pretending everything but the first movie doesn't exist? Because I want to make that argument.

He kept his neck closed with safety pins, for god sake.

You make a compelling argument, sir, but Fitz was clearly the most awesome Highlander character.

Apologies for the interruption. You may now carry on with your OKCupid stuff.

Fitz was pretty cool and so's Robert Daltry, but I don't remember him keeping parts of his body on with safety pins, so he still ranks under the Kurgan.

I'd be tempted to give the nod to Ramirez, 'cause Sean Connery, but then the Kurgan cut his head off.

Speaking of, another point in favor of Kurgan > Fitz. Fitz never killed Sean Connery.

You know, I've never once had that problem.

That's because you are that problem.

He's becoming the new old Seil.

All of my pictures are pretty recent, and I don't do the extreme-angle-to-make-your-face-look-narrower thing. I'd really prefer to scare people away before I waste time on them.

Edit: Although to be fair, I did graft a pig to my face yesterday.

Of course, I missed you already referencing that an hour ago, until just now.

I feel all played out and old hat now.

We've seen the camwhore thread.

We are aware.
