Still a few bugs in OkCupid's system

"The Web's most normal pool of singles"? Much like Orkut got eaten by the Brazilians, OKC seems to have been taken over by polyamorists and married men looking for hot bi babes with their wives' permission. I didn't know you could still find singles there!

Who goes to OKCupid to find dates? I only go for the quizzes. The quizzes would never try to set me up with a married man.

Considering the relatively small population of daters on OkCupid, a search for "poly" should not yield this many results.

Of course, the beauty of the site is never searching for anything, so you only see the people you might consider "most normal"...

OKCupid is a funny site. From reading through profiles for quite some time now, I have discovered that nearly all of the men participate in extreme sports, are wealthy, polyamorous and wish to date independent-minded childless supermodels. By the handsful, naturally.

Sadly, many of those same men possess a beer belly, a wife, or both. Desiring neither, I have found it wise to ignore most of the more amorous gentlemen available there. It sounds like instead of Cupid's arrow, Mr. Married Guy was grazed by the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. At least one hopes that Mrs. Married Guy kindly gave him a nice helping of just deserts.

Normal is relative. So consider the source. ;) But I've had a profile there so what does that say? Says that for the most part the people on there are my kind of normal. Now the abby-normal pool, that's the one to look out for! ;)

"The Web's Most Normal Pool of Singles"...and the metrics for this are what? Judging from past content it's The 250(tm) and a fifty gallon drum of industrial lubricant.
