Yeah. Seems like the girls' standards are much higher on okcupid than in real life. Girls always bitch about not getting "content" in the messages so I try and tailor the messages to their profile and rarely get a response.
I mean... I don't exactly look like Brad Pitt, but then again, they don't look like Natalie Portman either.  I would imagine the girls worth talking to get like 20+ messages a day so it's stiff competition out there.  Either way, I stopped using it. It really seems like a waste of time.

Completely agreed. If you do get a response or two, it only seems to last the one night and then youll never hear back again. I guess I haven't been pounding the pavement as hard as I could, but the complete lack of response sucks.
A few girls Ive exchanged 2-3 messages with on there before throughout a night, and not heard from them again. Figure Ill just go find a bitch the old fashioned way once I really care to deal with one again.
That site has never really seemed worth a shit to me though, just like plenty of fish and all the other crap ones.

I have met up with a few of them. When I signed up, I actually got a message almost immeadetly, from a nice girl. But I wasn't feeling like actually going that time (broke up with ex etc).
But I live in small town, so people I usually meet up with, have common friends. So its more like finding friends situation and not much more...
And finding someone from another town seems incredibly hard as I imagine.

I've actually gotten a few responses now, saying that given our differences the questions the site asks, that we would not be compatible. Really? That reminds me of those psycholgical screenings you'd have to fill out at just shit jobs like red lobster or target, just to be refused an offer based on that test.
I didn't know people actually payed attention to those questions you're supposed to answer. I thought it might be worth a shot, but I could really get a girl by just sitting a bar for an hour a lot easier than that shit, just really amazes me how snooty some of these chicks can be.

there's a good deal of troubled or blatantly fucked up people on OKC (they exist out in the real world too) but there's a few keepers nestled deep in there as well
i've only met up with one girl from OKC, but she's honestly one of the coolest girls I've ever met in my life. the first night my car died so we both had to go our separate ways the next day. but the second time on - she's slept with me every time and we've done LSD and MXE and blow together. she's a hippy sorta but she's attractive. she likes tripping.. like me. i let her try some 25i once too. and we're always smoking tons of weed. only thing left to do is roll together 
but yea we share so many ideas and stuff. i could get a vibe from her from her profile, and saw we had some music interests in common, and that's all you need. have a decent pic, prepare a decent message, manage a decent profile.. you shouldn't have too hard a time finding women
i definitely invested less time in making a short profile and sending a few messages out than some of the time i've spent on girls from "real life." like Humility said - it really is nice being able to see exactly how they feel about certain things and choose around this. you can already know if it will work or not

Ya these guys saying they only get a couple messages and it only lasts one night are doing something wrong. If you can work it right the site definitely works.

Area dependent. I look for lulz, and the same 15 - 20 profiles have been there for as long as I can remember. Occasionally a new one pops up, but infrequently.

“In politics, few talents are as richly rewarded as the ability to convince parasites that they are victims. Welfare states on both sides of the Atlantic have discovered that largesse to losers does not reduce their hostility to society, but only increases it. Far from producing gratitude, generosity is seen as an admission of guilt, and the reparations as inadequate compensation for injustices – leading to worsening behavior by the recipients.

i suppose this is true. there are tons more if you live in a metro area and are willing to travel a bit, vs. rural. i've got over 5 million people in a 25 mile radius of me, so there's a decent amount of profiles to go through. now if i lived on a farm in the middle of nowhere.. i would not be using OKC other than for lulz and more lulz

how do you know which girls just want to fuck and what do you say to them to make it happen?

I'm starting to wonder if I wasn't direct enough with responses, like instead of small talk in a response just flat out ask if they wanna go out. It seems like you only get a maximum of 2-3 responses, so when you get a nibble on the line you just gotta yank on that pole as hard as you can, and hope the fish is on the hook when you reel it in.
Been awhile since I sent any messages out, maybe I'll try again tonight.

So I stripped my profile of normal boring activities and hobbies, replaced it with more or less 'I'm a lazy pile of shit that supports myself', and sent out a 1 sentence message saying I could give a shit less if I hear back from you.
And it worked. Ive got several responses from some of the hot ones you'd never think would respond, I feel like I just found the ace up my sleeve for this online dating game.

I typically send messages like " Hey want a stalker? " " or hey what flavor ruphie do you like?"
They seem to be the ones that work over " hey you look good "

I was in class Thursday and there was these two girls sitting in class behind me, it was before class started and they were talking really loud, and I could hear how they were talking about how they made this fake profile and they one was on her phone on the profile and they were laughing talking about it and stuff, made me so angry. But didn't say anything.

I used okcupid off and on when I was younger. I always ended up realizing that there are a lot of prerequisites you have to fulfill in order to have a girlfriend, and I'm not willing to change badly enough. The idea of a hiking buddy who'll have sex with me sounds really good, but moving out of my Mom's house would make me unhappy, getting a full time entry level job would make me unhappy, having to spend the little disposable income I'd have due to increased living expenses on the girlfriend would make me unhappy, getting some real life friends, not because I want them but because I need them to prove I'm 'normal' would make me unhappy, having to be concerned about "Do I look attractive?" each day would make me unhappy.
I also find using the website is less rewarding than talking to someone away from the keyboard. AFK, if you say hi to someone they're going to say hi back to be polite, and they're probably going to have a conversation with you. You might even become friends, but on okcupid they're going to assume you want to date them, ignore you, and base that decision on the thumbnail they see of you and what you said to them. They don't want a canned message "Hi, my name is Tony. I look forward to hearing back from you"; they want a personalize one "I saw you like underwater basketball on your profile. I like that too" to show that you're serious about hearing back from them.
Using the site is a lot of trying real hard to sell yourself and telling the girl what you have that no other guy does. Good pictures. Good opening statement to grab the reader's attention, but once you get all that done, the work level decreases. AFK, you'd have to put on the same show for every girl you like and act like it's the first time, but online you just put it in your profile and it attracts people on its own.
But to answer your question, there aren't any fake profiles you won't be able to detect. Okcupid is owned by match.com, and I trust them to do a good job.
