Haha…keep it going…

Look for an email (in lieu of a letter since you are in Japan) soon coming your way!

Just a tip, girls usually like it when you cite something in SPECIFIC from their profile in your message to them. Your message came off slightly generic, as there are many guys on these sites who ‘mass mail’ and send the same message to various girls, altering maybe one or two words. My expertise is as an okcupid veteran, met some of the nicest and nerdiest people I know through it.

Note desirable chicks are hot AND attractive. But not smart as well as intelligent. So much pressure!

It seems like this online dating stuff is starting to become less taboo. I listed an apartment on craigslist recently, and was a little surprised when somebody responded with a link to their plentyoffish proifle (so I could learn a little more about them).

Hm, have you considered that men might be threatened by hot, intelligent, attractive and non-serial-killer women? since they might feel insecure to be with them so they choose to date the one that is not so hot, not so intelligent, not so attractive and not non-serial-killer. So it is possible to find a hot, intelligent, attractive, etc etc women online…..
Just thought i challenged the idea a bit for your next entry.

JP, this is awesome. I fully encourage you in this endeavor. If nothing else, this is guaranteed to be a great blog series. (i.e. If you end up dating a NOT((hot)AND(intelligent)AND(attractive)AND(non-serial-killer))* chick, the whole internet is here to laugh with you.)

*or, if you prefer (NOT(hot))OR(NOT(intelligent))OR(NOT(attractive))OR(NOT(non-serial-killer))

I am strangely enthralled by this quest.
