With the permission of a friend, I set up a profile with her pics and some basic info that I just made up. She is very attractive, so I wanted to see what the response would be from guys. Here's are the results:

50-100 profile views per day
15-20 messages per day
3-5 added her to favorites list per day.

For the most part, messages were polite and respectful but only a few were actually funny or interesting, not a single one demonstrated any game. The vast majority were some variation of "hey beautiful, what up" Here are some samples, she is a painter, and I said she likes to cook, that should provide context.

"hey beautiful how are u doing ?"

"hello, how are you?"

"Hi, what genre of paintings do you prefer to draw? You should upload some of your work

Casual sex? "

"Hey! just wanted to show u sum luv..."

"only 60% match, do you kick babies or something?"
-This one might have been an attempt at cocky/funny, I'm not sure.

Notice the lack of grammar or correct spelling. My take away is that if you know how English works, have something unique to say, and don't compliment, your far ahead of most guys on the site. Tell me what you think. I can post more samples if your interested.

Also, check out this blog, it's a girl posting and commenting on creepy okcupid messages.

Yea you should post more it would be quite helpful to see what an afc says.

I got 3 messages while writing the first post. The profile has been up for 3 days, 128 messages received. Here are the most recent 10:

“I guess your too good for me.” (2nd email after no response.)

“hey, I like what you're producing there. Do you have a portfolio of your work?”

“is that a stark naked my size barbie doll? and did you cut her into pieces? it's sort of hard to make out.” (I have no idea what he is talking about.)

“Hi) Very nice photos and girl) How your summer passes?) Sorry for my bad english ”

“a creative person in [my city]?! fucking rad. really pretty too.

;]”

“Hey what's up.
How are you”

“To answer your question, the first thing I noticed about you is your art. It's lovely. And it kindled my curiosity. You seem like someone fun and imaginative to immerse in an adventure with. Were you in the studio tonight?” (For the ‘The first thing people notice about me’ section, I put “I don’t know, you tell me”)

“Do u like to watch anime? I'm more into the Japanese style animation for art but I appreciate all forms of art as well btw nice job I think it looks awesome”

“Hey gorgeous what's up”

“Wow look at you miss artist! That's so cool and by the way you are extremely sexy (DAMN look at those legs! )”

Very interesting to see this. Keep posting more. The only one of those I'd say is anywhere near interesting is the "To answer your question" one and even that's a little mundane. At least it's well worded

Wow, darkstar - nice one.

These messages are atrocious! Thank goodness for game.

Update: I showed the profile to my friend and she got really into it. She, while being an artist, is pretty scientific and had two brilliant ideas.
1. Change status to Bisexual
2. Make a profile for here fiancee(super good looking lawyer)

First, girl responses to her profile:

“Hey there ”

“is that a doll in the background of your second pic? O.O”

Sadly, there were only two in two days. Here are some more interesting first messages from guys:
**Any time there is a response, it is her telling me to respond and what to write.

1st Message “painting today?”
2nd(12 min after no response):
LA's fine, sunshine most of the time
The feeling is laid back
Palm trees grow and the rents are low
But you know I keep thinking about
Making my way back

Well, I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores
LA's fine, but it ain't home
New York's home but it ain't mine no more


Him:“Hey, can I ask you a weird question?”

Her: “Sure.”

Him: “thanks, this is gonna sound weird but have you been with circumcised and uncircumcised guys? I'm thinking of getting it done and just wondering how different it feels for a woman?”

I like this one, I might use it:
“Appropriate Greeting,

Witty banter, something I relate to in your profile, extremely clever joke about one of your pictures.

Memorable one-liner!

Final greeting including my name and done.

Great, glad that is out of the way! Are we dating yet?”


Now, for her fiancee, he is extremely good looking and his profile says he is 6'2, and a lawyer making 100k-150k a year. He didn't want to write the profile so I wrote a fairly typical one for him.

The results after about 3 days:
32 Profile Views, 12 First Messages
His fiance's profile got aprox. 250 profile views and 190 first messages after 5 days. In my opinion, he is way hotter, she's an HB8 he would easily be an HG9.5(I how gay I sound right now). He's also tall and rich, yet girls don't view or message anwhere near as much. Here are some samples:

“What kind of books do you like to read?”

“Aloha ”

“Hi gorgeous.”

“what type of law do you deal with?”

“I noticed your eyebrows first :p”

“So the first thing I noticed about you was you ha a glass of wine in your hand and wine is amazing. You seem like a cool guy with a good head on your shoulders. So where did you go to law school? Do you have any pets?
[name]”

“hi ”

“Hi, my name is [name] and I'm currently a student at University of [state], [city]. I reside in [city], but am closer to [city].

“How are you enjoying your weekend?”

“Hey, how are you doing?” (Gay guy)


If you have openers, or things you would like me to try on either profile, I am happy to oblige.
