OKC called me a bitch.

...And I'm not OK[cupid] with that.

WHAT THE FUCK OKCUPID?

Some of the questions include:
"How does the idea of being slapped hard in the face during sex make you feel?"
Some of the answers include: aroused, indifferent, nostalgic, scared.

And apparently, after answering 130 of those questions, it determined I was a total fucking bitch.
At least compared to other females in my age range.

Here's my "personality" after 130 questions:
I sound like the worst person in the world. Not only am a rude, untrusting bitch, but I'm a 'less pure', atheist prude. HOW DOES THAT EVEN WORK?
I honestly have no idea if I'm "less pure" (whatever the fuck that means), but I will admit that they did get the less spiritual and less romantic part right.
However, I still call bullshit. I feel like there is such a gender bias here. More logical and more scientific? Is that bad? I don't know, I just feel like it's completely skewed. Sure I may be 'more logical' than some females (again, what the fuck does that even mean?!), but how would I stack up against a male counterpart?
And, I don't know, I guess I just don't buy it. I feel like there's a certain image that OKC expects of a woman and I feel that perhaps, some women, play into that. The romantic one, I guess. The one I am, apparently, very opposite of (fair).
I just don't buy it and it's made me really skeptical of the whole OKC algorithm.
I don't trust you, OKC. I'm watching you....

Nevertheless (FOR SCIENCE!), I decided to play OKC's little "personality" game. To see how the number of questions I answered would affect my so-called "personality". 
So I kept going. 
I was surprised to see how one answer could drastically change my results. Sure, the more you answer, the more accurate it's going to be, but having already answered 130 questions, I figured one answer shouldn't affect it *that* much. 
But, alas, one minute you're normal, then you make one answer about not owning a 8+sided dice and you're suddenly anti-geek. Again, it made me nothing, but more skeptical. 
However, since I could see me suddenly thawing out of frigid bitch territory, I decided to keep going. 
Here are my results, 170 questions in:

Not great, but I appear to be warming up to strangers, finally. And I'm literate! Thank god! I CAN READ! Good thing I have OKC to fill me in on those important details about myself. 

Again, I kept going.
It also struck me how it is SO freaking easy to skew your own results and "personality". Considering this is a HUGE determining factor on who you're matched up with, it's kind of scary to think about the people who could so easily portray themselves to be someone they're not. I guess it's the internet so what the hell else was I expecting.
Also, that's a classic Bab's outlook. So untrusting.
...Maybe OKC knows me better than I think? MAYBE I AM A FRIGID BITCH? ...I'll just go cry into my bottle of wine now...

*sigh* To prove 170-question-OKC-personality wrong, I kept going, with hope that I might not sound like such a terrible person. 

Here we are at 200 questions:
Not gonna lie, I still sound like a pretty terrible date. I definitely wouldn't date me with those results, but at least I sounds kind of interesting.
Maybe if I keep going, I'll finally be able to be kind to strangers! *fingers crossed*

And even with a pretty terrible "personality" I still get messages from dudes who want to bone. So there's hope?
Case and point, this little IM gem:
"hey how's it going? would you be interested in some casual fun? I can send you a pic if you want, im good looking :)"

Ahhh yes, I can tell by your picture-less profile that you must be super good-looking. Because it's a dating website and no one would ever want to see a picture of your face to determine if you're actually good-looking.
