I got a high rating once from an attractive young lady. I was ecstatic... Then I read her profile...

I'll rate you! I'll rate you!

(Can't guarantee it'll be 4+ though...)

Will an Upvote suffice?

What movie is this?

[–]dem_eyez20/F/MI[S] 6 points7 points ago

Django Unchained. Comes out on xmas day, I believe.

[–]JDogish 3 points4 points ago

I don't think I've been rated at all. OkC called me hot once, though.

[–]DoubleShotDecaf46/M/Beatles Lyrics Master 2 points3 points ago

According to OKC 5 people have rated me highly, but I've yet to pay the money to find out who. I think one of them is a mutual high rating, but they live over an hour away...

Is there a way someone else can tell me who or maybe my general rating?

[–]DegeneratePaladin27/M/New Jersey 7 points8 points ago

My favorite is getting the email that "we chose each other" as in, mutual high rating. Send out a nice message and nothin lol.

[–]standardalias28/m/long island/ cheese_crackers 0 points1 point ago

yup

[–]Nihiliste 1 point2 points ago

Overnight I suddenly got a mutual match from someone I'd completely forgotten about. What kills me is that I would pursue it if I weren't completely infatuated with someone else and setting up a second date!

[–]ActiveSite 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, what the fuck's up with that? That's happened to me twice so far.

[–]rocksplash23/F/Deactivated 3 points4 points ago

Did you use your free a list already?

[–]Hobo-With-A-ShotgunLord-Inglip, 25 0 points1 point ago

Just give out 5-stars to around 30 people in a row. That should include the 5 you mentioned, getting a message.

I'll say now though, I just randomly give out 5-stars to whomever and get a bunch of messages back a few days later saying someone 5-starred me, so I doubt many people take it seriously.

[–]dsk623 2 points3 points ago

I live in California and a SMOKING hot woman from Kokomo, Indiana rated me highly...AND gave my profile a second look...why U torture me OKCUPID!!!1?? :/

[–]crysco21/M/Tampa 1 point2 points ago

Go get 'em tiger!

[–]Heddon2M/21/Wisconsin 1 point2 points ago

Class.

[–]thunder_craniumhttp://www.okcupid.com/profile/thunder_head 0 points1 point ago

Do you have the ability to check your own rating by the way? I'd love to know my own. Says 55 people have rated me highly, but I don't know my overall.

[–]dem_eyez20/F/MI[S] 2 points3 points ago

I'm not sure, but for every ~ten high ratings I get, I probably get one email saying "so and so rated you highly" and it shows a picture.

[–]thunder_craniumhttp://www.okcupid.com/profile/thunder_head 1 point2 points ago

I usually get something saying I was chosen, since they rated me. -_-

[–]dem_eyez20/F/MI[S] 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, that's what I meant! but I've only gotten like 15 emails, okcupid doesn't tell me everytime someone rates me high...which doesn't make sense.

[–]friendofelephants 0 points1 point ago

weird, i think i get one with every 4-5 rating.
