Does anyone else think it's funny that OKCupid has a thing called the "SuperLike"?

[Jamie05rhs]

Why would you SuperLike anyone, when there's no one in existence even worthy of that honor?

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Superlike could be Super liking a catfish... Hahaha!!!

[Jamie05rhs]

Exactly! I agree! Haha

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@Jamie05rhs Wow, you never know hahaha!!!

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Thanks for MHO :)

[Jamie05rhs]

@goodguybreakingbad You're welcome, brother!

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@Jamie05rhs Hope your Christmas was Blessed and Happy Blessed New Year 2024

[Jamie05rhs]

@GoodGuyBreakingBad Thanks, man! You, too! 😀

[legalboxers]

to get her attention. Its a waste tbh

[Jamie05rhs]

Yeah, I get that. But I don't want her to think I "SuperLike" her if I actually don't. I don't think it's right to play with girls' hearts and lead them on.

[VIVANT]

Why would you super like her if you don’t? What’s the issue? Are you forced to press super like?

If super like is the only option then everyone will know that and take it with a grain of salt. And if it’s not the only option and you don’t feel it, don’t press it.

[Jamie05rhs]

@VIVANT No, we're not forced to SuperLike. Just strongly encouraged. Lol

Well, I don't care if they do take it with a grain of salt. I just don't want to leave it up for interpretation in the first place. Lol.

[Jamie05rhs]

"If you don't feel it, don't press it.". I won't! Lol

[VIVANT]

But if you won’t press it what is the problem with it being an option? You said you don’t want to lead people on but you’re not, lol I don’t understand why it’s even an issue?

Some people might super like someone.

I’d find it annoying bc then if I like something g they’ll feel I don’t super like it lol

I was uncomfortable when lining stuff on here meant you gotta use a heart but I adjusted but sometimes you just want to thumbs up something without giving it any extra attribution

[Jamie05rhs]

@VIVANT The question was "Does anyone else think it's funny?". Not, "Does anyone else think it's a problem?" 🤪

[Jamie05rhs]

And don't worry; I understand about the heart thing. I used to be hesitant about that because of my homophobia. But then I evolved. Haha

[VIVANT]

Oh yeah your weight. Nvm 😂

[legalboxers]

@Jamie05rhs you have to pay for some but you get 1 "super like" its like "shooting your shot"...
no one I met on there was worth it

[Jamie05rhs]

@VIVANT Thanks lol

[Jamie05rhs]

@LegalBoxers I think I have maybe met one or two that deserved a SuperLike. But that was years ago.

[VIVANT]

Lol well my misunderstanding 😂 sorry

[legalboxers]

ty for MHO

[Jamie05rhs]

@VIVANT No worries. 😊

[Jamie05rhs]

@legalboxers You're very welcome, sir!

[el_Te_de_la_Rosa]

Err... I received once or twice and it meant nothing to me. I matched with a man who's INTJ as me. We'd done hundreds of questionare. I deleted my account, but probably get back to the site again.

[Jamie05rhs]

@el_Te_de_la_Rosa I answered a lot of their questions as well. That's the one thing I love most about that website. The matching questions.

[el_Te_de_la_Rosa]

Yes. It's fun. Anyways, compatibilties can be something to conceen if it's too much. I don't think I can live with another INTJ (a thinking type) Not that he or they are not kind. The truth is we are less emotional, and if you need support in the area, we aren't capable of. It's our nature to be critical and problem solvers.

[Jamie05rhs]

@el_Te_de_la_Rosa Aww

[DryGermanGuy]

[Jamie05rhs]

Lol. Good one!

[robhazelnut]

Sarcasm+years-old reference: It's an application for membership in The Super Best Friends

[Jamie05rhs]

What's that? Lol

[robhazelnut]

I don't remember the details, but they were some joke group on an episode of South Park. That episode may have been somewhat repulsive.

[Jamie05rhs]

Oh! Okay lol.

[Levin]

Tinder used to have it and it used to work to get matches back in the good old days - back when I was a lad! Now everything is pay wall, about the £. They took it away for free users. But yes, I take your general point about not simping.

[Jamie05rhs]

It's not even about simping. Lol. That's a different subject entirely. I'm just saying why I would I SuperLike someone if my opinion of them is literally just, "... Eh,... they'll do. 🤷 "

[Jamie05rhs]

I mean, when a man "Like"s a woman online, that's really all it means. That they meet the bare minimum. (But I guess the girls take it to mean "He's madly in love with me.")

[Jamie05rhs]

But the irony here is they're offering one SuperLike a week as if it's some extraordinary gift [to me]. But they keep sending me messages begging me to use the SuperLike. When I honestly give zero f*cks about it.

[Jamie05rhs]

And that's the thing: I'm not trying to "get matches.". I'm looking for a wife.

[Levin]

I've not tried okcupid for 5+ years but my impression from the last days of using it , is that it was going downhill with the others. It was quite a quirky and unique site for a period but they just try and make everything about money and it sort of dies. And yes, most of the women aren't all that. The only site with decently attractive women was tinder. Not necessarily relationship material, mind. All in all, I would just avoid dating sites tbh.

[Jamie05rhs]

@Levin You are right about your assessment of OKCupid. It has definitely gone downhill.

[Levin]

So why use dating sites? Do you have much hope for them working?

[Jamie05rhs]

@Levin It's better than meeting women in person. I like to know upfront who I'm talking to. I don't want to waste my breath and energy approaching a random woman only to find out that she isn't what I want and I wouldn't date her in a million years.

[NathanDavis]

*SuperJumboGalacticLikes* @mandyfire98 @7Phoenix7

[NathanDavis]

and since this question is at the Health & Fitness... I'll elaborate

yes, I do think that letting someone know how likeable they are and they can be, is a very positive and healthy thing to do... why not?

people like to be appreciated and they deserve it too, when it is genuine... it feels good and it is good for our wellbeing

and great people are sure worthy of genuine appreciation for how they are and the way they are

now, I am not even sure what OKCupid is but still... these two girls are damn fine

[Jamie05rhs]

@NathanDavis Mandy hates me, so we don't really associate with one another lol. (I have nothing against her, though. I honestly don't even know her that well.)

[Jamie05rhs]

How did my question get put into Health and Fitness? I did NOT select that category!! 😂😂

[Jamie05rhs]

I totally agree about showing people appreciation and giving them compliments. I think that's a great thing. I just wouldn't do that on a dating site, with a girl that I am not actually interested in dating. Because it could be interpreted in the wrong way and it could hurt their feelings.

[Joshydavid25]

Tinder does as well, and when I feel like swiping, I never use it.. I always think like, why would anybody actually use it? Lol..

[SeymourBill420]

I have an account on OkCupid. I call it OkayStupid.
Literally it's just another appointment dating app

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

I am not familiar with it.

What would a Superlike do?

[Jamie05rhs]

Apparently it just stands out more. No catch her attention.
She will receive a notification that says, "You got a SuperLike!"

[Jamie05rhs]

"To catch her attention."
Pardon the typo.

[bingbongbangbung]

I think Facebook and maybe even YouTube have that as well

[Jamie05rhs]

Oh, really. I didn't know that.

[Fuentes]

Lol I don't know I wouldn't use that site
