Here’s some online dating advice that will get you the most replies, according to blog.okcupid.com. Their #1 advice is “Be Literate.” Here are some of my takes, which only makes sense after you read the article:
“U R so sexy and hot can i get ur phone # mines 555-9876″
You lose. Go dig yourself a hole and jump into it. Might as well bury yourself while you’re at it because no one’s going to bury you for you.
“Howdy. It’s pretty awesome that you like zombies too!”
You win. By the way, this line will surely work on me and if you use the keywords “beer, food, and zombie” all in one sentence, I’ll also likely relinquish my phone number in a heartbeat.
