I have an OkCupid account. Meh, no biggie, I check it every 2-3 days. I often just don't respond to messages I'm not impressed with, but every so often there will be someone interesting. (Hence, I continue to use the site.)
First off, here are my three general rules:
1. If subject is shorter than me, I move on immediately. Sorry. It's a thing I have.
2. If subject is balding, I move on immediately, regardless of age.
3. If subject is not my type (read: fugly), I will straight up hide them from me on the site from then on.It's an option, so I'll damn well use it.
So, those three usually lead me right. I've blocked a rando or five, but it's usually pretty tame. There are sometimes, though, that I feel morally obliged to report creeps for the creep things they say.
The best/worst part, though, is that it shows you who has been to your profile (There are guys who have been coming to my profile for months and haven't messaged me. Like I said, creeps.). So I know when I click on a guy's profile, he'll be able to tell later. And then, when I don't message him, he knows one of the three rules has taken effect and poof. It's easy, low-stakes judging.
I had one date and one VERY brief fling with a two different guys I met on OkCupid, and meh. Not any worse than bar guys, so for now, it'll do...
