AlrightCupid

There has been some movement. Both Ghost and Van are getting messaged like it's their job. For Ghost, I got an email from the admins. Based on people rating the profile, it said, "How do people rate your personality? GREAT. How bad do the girls of OKCupid want ghostinthecity? SO BAD." I got the same email for Van. It was the same, except his personality was rated as "REALLY GREAT." I am slowly losing faith in mankind.

Initially, I thought people would like Ghost because he's so ridiculous, but be scared of Van because he comes off as a straight-ahead douche. But there's something called QuickMatch, where people can "choose" someone. Van keeps getting chosen. Go to his profile and tell me how this is happening.

Now, the scoring. 50 people have visited Van's page.

I have sent one message as Van. It received no response.

I have received two unsolicited messages. One girl thought the profile was funny. Congratulations to her for being the one out of 50 who realized it couldn't be real. And the other... Wow. Here's the email she sent.

SO MANY QUESTIONS...

1. What does your shirt say? I can't really figure it out from the picture.

2. What exactly are the new Ivys? I know what the term means, but who decides which schools are new Ivys and which are just your average decent university?

3. I love Matt & Kim! I have Pandora to thank for that actually.

4. What's a good Indian Buffet in the city.

5. Is a tattoo above your cock the male equivalent of a tramp stamp.

6. Nice fez.

Ridiculous. As of now, I haven't responded. I think she may be too emotionally invested in a fake person for me to respond. If I were to respond, the purpose would be to turn her off, but if she's attracted to the profile, the response could have the opposite effect. If I was to respond, this would be the response:

1. Legalize the Irish. They go through a lot and no one talks about it. You should watch Gangs of New York if you want to see a documentary on the subject.

2. If you have to ask, you don't deserve to know. Don't be ignorant.

3. Great. Good for you. We all love Matt & Kim. Let me guess, you love breathing too? Let me provide you with a cupcake.

4. Google.

5. I wish I knew someone who was sitting next to you right now so I could have them slap you.

6. I know.

vAN

And, onto Ghost... He has had only 11 visitors. This could partially be because I have him listed as living in a DC suburb, whereas Van lives in Brooklyn. Oh well. Rules are rules.

Ghost received one response from an email and two unsolicited emails. People think Ghost is funny and have prodded me to break character. It's not happening. Check out this exchange. You'll know which ones are Ghost.

This profile made me laugh.

Haha I can't decide if you're playing or serious lol.

haha. ok.

I think she decided Ghost is retarded at the end.

And my favorite exchange.

ROTFL "Not fuckin round dis time..." hahahahahahah

roll on the floor! Your profile is hysterical.

yeh gurl im funny az shit. bi da way da charts juss came bak in and it apeerz my dick iz even bigger than we 1st thaught.

A reminder of the scoring system:

1 point for profile visit.

5 points for initial message response.

10 points for unsolicited message.

Van - 70

Ghost - 36

This could be a huge upset. I thought Ghost would win in a landslide. Stay tuned...
