OKStupid

I often ask myself if OKCupid has for ever desecrated my outlook on interpersonal relationships, or if I've always been so pessimistic anyway that this site merely enhanced some of my views.

'I wonder what his OKCupid profile would be like?' I asked myself, while embracing a real-life friend. 'He'd be a INFJ, and we'd about 15% enemies, I wonder how he'd score on the Slut Test, he'd surely post a picture where he looks much hotter than he actually is' etc.

It didn't seem like it right away, but now I think it's one of the most absurd feelings I've ever had. I apparently forgot that the OKCupid site was designed to allow for people to meet each other in person. It is not meant, or shouldn't be meant, or shouldn't be used, so that people that already know each other in real-life can figure out if they're good for each other. OKCupid seems so much easier than real-life, that I feel now I'm too lazy to do all the dirty work. I no longer feel like getting to know poeple without the aid of technology.
