How-To: Make An OKCupid Profile That Will Actually Get You Laid (Or Love)
Lie (Gently) About Your Vices
Not that much. If you have a daily cocaine habit or happen to think Ayn Rand is some kind of luminary, for instance, that might be need-to-know information for any potential dates. If that is you, specifically, maybe you shouldn’t go on any dates at all for a while. I’m just saying in general that if you would think about re-negotiating your social smoking or occasional binge drinking for someone you were really into, then maybe don’t play them up in your profile in the first place. Unless you’re really, truly, just looking for a boozy one-night stand, in which case, do whatever you want. You’ll find some kind of taker, no matter what.
