Keeping it real... I would love to get to know you and make you giggle and smile I am not looking for anything serious (check out my profile). 

I will send picts via email if you like. 

I live in the Carpentersville area and work in the Schaumburg area. 

Hit me up if interested... because you piqued my interest!

Hi how are you!?

hey! i think it's cool you're into fitness and video games. it's amazing to work the mind and the body ;) i see you like to explore a lot of things, like music and coding. 
my name's ----. i can't say i'd always rather participate than watch (i'd rather watch football than play), i think we could find some sort of middle ground =)

It's really snowy out there, isn't it..

Hey there how's it goin!

happy late welcome to chicago

Hey, it looks like we have quit a bit in common. I also try new things constantly, but am too ADD to stick with them, and I never watch sports when I could be playing instead. 

I'm only recently getting into cooking. What's your favorite kind of food to make? 

Also, do you have a waterproof laptop??

Ha, I have also read numerous wikipedia articles about works of fiction that I’m not going to get to. I am much better at making lists of books to read than I am at actually reading them, and I guess I want to know what happens in ‘important’ fiction so I’ll understand what people are talking about when they refer to them? God that seems shallow. 

But what I really want to know is where I can get a laptop that I can use in the shower. (It’s possible that I’m misreading that sentence…)

Is bass a hard instrument to pick up?

You are kinda really gorgeous :-) I would like to get to know you. 
you seem cool from your profile, pretty down to earth. 
What nationality are you?

So curious..

Hey, how are you? I enjoyed reading your profile. So I am going to be completely frank, I would love to have a casual sex ongoing relationship. You are definitely my type so let me know if you are interested and we can see where it goes.

You have any luck on here yet???

What is the last place you traveled? I love Thailand and i am headed to Turkey in December.

You look cool

hey there, how are you doing? having a good week?

hi good evening how was your day

Such a babe. Hi.

What would you're definition of a good person be? 

So what I really want to know is, how you are in the shower AND on your laptop..??? Please tell the secret ;)

Hi sexy are you looking for a good fun times? if so

Do you have pan or x?

Good morning! Was looking around this today and saw your profile and figured I would say hi and see what you were up to?

Hello. Lets chat

Hi, how do you take your laptop into the shower? Seems like it'd be easier to bring your smart phone in a little sealed sandwich baggie, less chance of water getting on it.

So dOes that mean you are a really good cook?

I agree with you about food. Do you feel the same way about cocktails?

Hi I'm ------. Hope you made it through Monday relatively unscathed.

Hi, 
I live on Madison & Jefferson and looking for some cool people who are near and open for making new friends which might or might lead to FWB. Ideal first meeting would be - coffee, dinner, bar, nightclub, etc. Let me know!

hey there! hmmm yea i dont really have one of those witty/generic copy paste ice breaker...would rather just say hi. not really into selling my self digitally but i think we would get along well. soooo if you would like to get to know eachother feel free to write back. (i know this is awkward) 
have a good night 
-DJ

Hi there. What game(s) are you working your way though now?

I don't play the bass, but I'd love to do a musical collaboration sometime. Or at least get coffee and see where things go. 

I kinda have the same problem you have - I'll do something for a month, get decent at it, then drop it for something else. Right now I'm learning Javascript and making a board game. In a month? Who knows?

I'm afraid to ask, because I might use it too much, but how do you use your laptop in the shower? 
I'm --------. I sing if you ever wanna jam sometime. Who are you?

Evening, 

I came across your profile and enjoyed reading it. We share much in common and your smile exudes warm kindness. I'd enjoy meeting you for coffee/drink one evening. 

Enjoy your weekend

What software do you make your music with?

Goofy, ADD, likes activities.....I'm sorry were you describing me? 

I used to play video games, but I'm sure I would enjoy picking up that fun activity if you were persuasive. 

Message me so we can chat.

Hello beautiful. Are you interested in a secret naughty friend?

hi (profile picture is naked)

Um how do you take your laptop into the shower??? Hahaha I want to talk to you cause you seem interesting!

hello there. My name is ----- and I would like to chat with you a little and learn your personality . If you want maybe I could take you out to dinner or show you my favorite quiet little beach. I am also ok with a simple night at home with take out and a movie. whatever suits our mood and is a fun atmosphere so we can get to know each other. I can't wait to hear back. :)

Hi, 

I just moved to downtown and thought I should look for some cool friends around. I am always open for friends or more (with benefits). Let me know if you want to give it a try and we can probably meet over drinks or dinner!

Hi there, 
I found your profile (and your photo!) very appealing. I was wondering whether you'd like to talk sometime. 
Have a great night, 
P. 

I'm curious to know about you like what you do in free time, what is your favorite vacation place and other things that excites you. 

Lets chat through this site and see how it goes.

hi there, how is your night going ? 
btw happy halloween.

ambiguous ethnicty

I like you. You seem pretty fun. 

And awfully cute. 

:)

How does being on the laptop while in the shower work? Isn't there a risk of water splashing off your body onto the laptop? Good taste in sunglasses, they look good on you.

I love Good Eats! I was just talking about that show with friends the other day. I love how they combine the science with the deliciousness. Sometimes I youtube it. Didn't know it was on Netflix.

hey hows it going? Saw your profile and wanted to say hello and see if you felt like chatting at all. If you want to feel free to message me back!

 hihi

well hello there! Im a good person!

Hey. You seem as spontaneous and nerdy as I am. Whenever I go on the internet I find myself with endless tabs of random stimulating nonsense. If you do that too I think you'll be very easy to talk to :D

Helloo goofy goo, how are you? (did that rhyme? :)) 
Just bumped into your profile through Quickmatch. You sound like an interesting person, loved your style of writing, very simple and funny. Kudos! 
I moved here recently, and am looking for platonic friends! Can you use a new friend buddy? 
Glance through my profile may be, and if anything makes you laugh, drop me a Hello or some hint! :)

interested in 9 inches??

Hey , how are you ? I like you very much and love to take you out for a date sometime !!

Heyy sexyy! How are you doing? What kinds of video games do you like to play?

I do the same as you when browsing Wikipedia, except I'm not in the shower.

Where is your homeland (again)

Hey there, what's going on? How are you doing this evening? =)

Where is your homeland

Finished college (like 3 years ago too) and "looking into grad school" as well. But we know what that really means. It means we're still looking for that thing that can get us out of bed, every day, and give us some sense of fulfillment. 

I graduated with a degree in biology, didn't really want to do 4 more years of school. Been doin my own sort of science thing, if you ever want to meet up and talk shit or talk shop, lemme know.

I am married, is that a problem for you? ----

Hello, I was told there would be free burritos here?

Hello how are you? I'm ------- lets talk sometime if you're not busy you seem like a very nice person other then the fact that you look beautiful.

Hey, your profile was interesting. You know how to code well?

So my friends tell me I go too fast, but I'm gonna go out on a limb here. Will you marry me? 
Oops... I meant to just say "hi"

hey , how about a coffee with me ?

I have my degree on the bass, let's jam!

Hi, how are you? I really liked your profile….especially that you seem super active. Me too! Anyways, I'd definitely love an opportunity to get to know you better. How was your weekend….anything fun? How's your week been so far? 

You should check out a story called, Ted the Caver. It's pretty neat, kinda spooky though. What games you play?

Hey you sound awesome! I must advise you to not shower with your laptop though. What have you been tinkering with lately?

What's your ideal meal?

Video games, bass/guitar, making music; We should be friends!

Hello! 

My name is -----, and I think: Netflix, proper grammar, a nice beer, acting dorky/nerdy, and the internet are great things. How's OKC treating you? 

Do you like lame jokes? 

Why can't witches get pregnant? 

Upright or electric?

Hey what's up? I'm pretty new to the site and ran across your profile, figured if say hi. I know you can see any pics of me, I didn't feel comfortable posting them out in the open on the site. I can definitely share pics with you though. If you're interested, hit me back and we can talk some more. 

good eats rocks!

hello there, good afternoon. how are you today? interested in close friendship?

Well the first thing I need to say is that you're absolutely gorgeous! For starters my name is ------ and I'm drummer in an indie rock band and MUSIC is my passion. I'm also a HUGE art admirer and my Instagram is full of street art pics that I take all around the city. I also love checking out new restaurants and exploring the city. So with that said would you be down for hanging out some time?

indian ?

Hey, how are you tonight? my name is ------ by the way. I should probably spice that up with a pick up line right? Charmander is red Squirtles blue if you were a pokemon i'd choose you.

You are so very sexy. I'd love to go out with you. Coffee dinner a marriage wotever you have time for. 

Hi, I came across your profile and thought you were very beautiful, needless to say I had to write. If you'd like to talk sometime, I'd love to hear from you. 

Hey, I'm ------. What's your name? 

BTW, every ep of Good Eats is on Alton Brown's YouTube channel. It's a favorite of mine. Food and science!

Statement

This is a record of text content from messages I receive on my OKCupid account - the account is based on what I would normally write in an account, except my gender is set to female and the image is a stock image that matched my best guess at a female version of me (in some alternate universe.)

I never respond to the messages, and I never include any of the information about the sender.

The title is called a dataplay because it's not really an experiment, because I have no hypothesis, method, etc. and it's not just a series of random observations, because I have limited many of the parameters of the data I'm receiving, and it's definitely play, because the data will probably be skewed, subjective, and lacking in any qualitative or quantitative merit.

The blog started after my girlfriend had complained (rightfully so) about all the weird unwanted attention she has to deal with from dudes everyday. By unwanted, I mean sexually aggressive or insulting in nature, not just hellos or things meant to start casual conversation between two people. I understood and empathized, but could never really know what she meant. I decided to find out for myself - although it is an imperfect model for the reality of being a girl, I think it will at least give me a glimpse.
