I checked my inbox on OkCupid and there is a message with a link and a note that read, “Just thought you should know, people are talking about you.” Naturally I assumed it was spam, but clicked the link anyways.

okcupid
I very specifically took full body photos of me on my not-most-awesome day, rather than choose more flattering photos. I embraced underpromise and overdeliver -- I was petrified of trying to deceive anyone.
online dating
I don't know any other way to put it -- I need help.
okcupid
With no prospects lined up and two nominally active accounts, I decided to start sending men who had visited my profiles the sort of messages I receive on a daily basis.

Still sexy; still single.
okcupid
It’s so easy to meet people, but so hard to find someone worth canceling my date with my Netflix queue for.
okcupid
Men were bombarding me with lewd advances for a reason: I had told them all my butt was open for business.
fat
I had seen "Mean Girls" and everything, but didn’t actually know that losing weight was going to subject me to jokes that a few months prior I would have thought were directed at me.
dating
I decided I would use OkCupid and Craigslist (yes, even scary ol’ Craigslist) so I could have dinner three times a week without opening my wallet.
dating
I’m trying to figure out why I’ve been alone this long, because I’m kind of sick of it. (And everyone at xoJane is sick of hearing about it.)

I might be kind of bitchy. And maybe that's why I'm single?

I spent the next 48 hours not sure what would be the more troublesome result -- that I had in fact been drugged, or that I had not, and therefore had to deal with this mind-blowing sex deal for what it was.
attractiveness
"We'll recommend more attractive people to you. You'll also appear more often to other attractive people." YIKES.
