Turns out an OKCupid profile can be turned back on with just a couple of clicks. Five minutes of editing, and my shiny new profile was ready to go. Just like last time, the messages started rolling in almost instantly. Except I realized quickly, this was not going to be like last time. While Tinder here is pretty similar to in the US, OKCupid is not. So far there has only been one guy worth chatting to out of the 118 who have contacted me. This is not going to be a fruitful way in which to get dates.
There are all sorts of strange and bizarre guys on OKC in Singapore. Here is a sample for you...
The Asian guy who's into white girls
"I haven't really have a caucasian before so am hoping you will be my first"
The guy who doesn't live in Singapore
They come from near and far: Malaysia, Gambia, the US, Italy, France, Senegal, Germany, the UK, Columbia
The guy who thinks he's funny but isn't
"I am easygoing, interactive, shy but managable lol."
"San Fran! Do you wear a flower in your hair? lol"
"What could be more important than a happy ending? LOL"
[I still hate LOL. Bleh.]
The guy who is posing with a wild animal
I really don't get why there are so many of these photos. Apparently it's a thing in Canada too.
The guy who can't take a hint
Sending nine messages in a row without waiting for a response is too many. So is messaging me every two days saying, "you look great!" or sending "Hi morning" or "Hello, how are you?" every single day when I'm not responding to you. (These are three separate guys doing this.)
The guy who is DEFINITELY older than his profile says
The guy who wants to be a sugar daddy
"I am in that exclusive group of 'Shalionaires' hyped by the media for the millions we have made investing in shale oil and gas. [...] I don't mind providing an airline ticket to meet me anywhere in the world. [...] We are always looking for good help if you are interested in a new career."
The guy who wants a partner in crime... literally
"My other interest are to rob a vault... hijack a ship and to manipulate the slot machine at the MBS casino... the sort of stuff that could rescue by bored soul... but for all of these I require a partner in crime... so let me know if any of it interests you."
The guy who is incredibly inappropriate
"Excellent profile-you write well. And you're a bit of a dirty girl, eh? Hot fucking combination." [Note: Nothing in my profile is sexual and I'm fully clothed in all of my photos.]
This one needs a screenshot because I really couldn't make this crap up even if I tried. Saying "haha" does not make this even a little bit OK.
And last but not least, the guy who isn't a guy...

From Google image search. Sadly, not a guy who actually contacted me. None of the guys here with tiger photos have been this cute.

I'm 35. I swear! (Also a Google image search photo)

So there you go, folks. The weird and crazy world of OKC in Singapore. Might be time to pay for a dating site. Or just go back to Tinder.
Almost 5 out of 6 people I know are on Tinder and very few (just 1 guess) have dated someone after meeting on the app. I am not on Tinder because of this reason only. The profiles of people seem really different than the actual personality. So I really want to know is there anyone out there who has had a genuine match and has dated someone for months after meeting on Tinder? Does tinder really work?
