kicking puppies is bad

So, I actually wrote my 1000 character rant in order to move my profile completeness percentage up. What do I get? The next day there is *another* hint suggesting I write *another* freaking long post. WTF? So, here is freaking long post #2. I hope the response to freaking long post #1 (suggesting that you only had to write three freaking long journal posts was correct).

Do any guys on OkCupid respond to people that actually live *near* them? I understand that emailing people can be fun, but what is the point of “woo-ing” someone that lives 600 miles away? I certainly don’t plan to move 600 miles to be with someone. I would kind of hope that you aren’t planning to move 600 miles to be near someone that you established an e-relationship with.

What’s up with “woo-ing” anyways? I mean if you want to start a conversation with someone, why don’t you just email them? “Woo-ing” seems pretty lazy to me. If you aren’t going to make the effort to type three sentences, then why should I make the effort to respond? And what exactly is the appropriate way to respond to a “woo”? Do you “woo” the person back, or write an actual email…

And what is up with the email responses that say, “I live too far away, and I am 20 years older than you, but if I were your age and we lived near each other I would *totally* date you…”. For some reason I seem to get a lot of these. How is a girl supposed to respond to that? The only thing I can really think of to say is “Thanks?” Because I guess it is a compliment.

Am I *really* the only person on OkCupid who is here because I am interested in finding a *real* (preferably my age and not creepy) person who lives close enough to me that I could actually meet them?
