OK OKCupid

It would be irresponsible not to try OKcupid. (Note to self: keep the identity of my account a secret. How?)


How is OKcupid part of the happiness project? I want to find a friend that will be a tour guide, take me hiking. I will pay for gas.

I'm serious--that's my conceit. I can't hide the fact that I ride the bus, take car2go, stay trapped within my urban Home Area.

Huh!? Why don't you try hiking meetups? Go to REI and look at their calendar & bulletin board? I did! I will!

What have I learned so far.

  • Even if friends say,"have fun with it, stay light-hearted," this is a not game
  • It is clarifying. Writing the profile, answering the questions, staying honest ... it's useful
  • I'm relieved that I've scored only the tiniest bit More Arrogant than the average personality
  • It is hard not get depressed. All the lonely people, myself included, where do they all come from
Get happy. Stay with it until you're sure it's wrong.

I welcome any pointers, advice.
