A recent post by Mike from Broken Cupid reminded me about the very awesome OK Cupid Dating Persona Test.
I first took the OK Cupid test back in sophomore year of college, so in terms of the internet, this test has been around forever. If you haven’t taken it before, I highly recommend it. The test only takes about 5 minutes and is completely free. You don’t even need to give away your email address. And it’s pretty funny.
I should mention that the test was not designed specifically for gay people, but it has a special place in my heart for being one of the first online dating tests to ask (rather than assume) sexual orientation. It also gets props for automatically changing the pronouns in your results, but unfortunately the accompanying clip art depicts only heterosexual couples.
A few minutes ago I took the test for the first time in years. My results:
The Slow DancerDeliberate Gentle Love Dreamer (DGLD)
Steady, reliable, and cradling him tenderly. Take a deep breath, and let it out real easy…you are The Slow Dancer Your focus is love, not sex, and for your age, you have average experience. But you’re a great, thoughtful guy, and your love life improves every year. There’s also a powerful elimination process working in your favor: most Playboy types get stuck raising unwanted kids before you even begin settling down. The men left over will be hot and yours. Your ideal man is someone intimate, intelligent, and very supportive. While you’re not exactly the life of the party, you do thrive in small groups of smart people. Your circle of friends is extra tight and it’s HIGHLY likely they’re just like you. You appreciate symmetry in relationships. Your exact male opposite: The Hornivore Random Brutal Sex Master Always avoid: The False Messiah (DBLM) Consider: The Gentleman (DGLM), The Slow Dancer (DGLD) |
All these years, and I’m still the Slow Dancer. I know it doesn’t sound all that bad, but they might as well have named this personality type “Nice Guys Finish Last.” Also did you catch the reference to being stuck raising unwanted kids? Yeah, somehow I don’t think that’s going to be a big concern in my social circle.
I really wanted to score as Brutus the Uterus. Oh well, maybe next year.
Take the test for yourself, and let me know how you did in the comments section. I’m really hoping to meet a Genghis Khunt.
I’m not sure this test is that accurate. It called me a pool boy, however, this was a job of mine in a former life.
I took that forever ago. Perhaps I should revisit it.
BTW your uterus scares me.
And in case you were curious I’m your arch nemesis, the Hornivore.

“Hoping to gather you up, she flirts and winks and asks you out, ultimately professing her love. Then you make her bleed.”
ok cupid has seen into my soul.
What’s with Question 43: “If you have any STD’s, please go here.” (”here” is a link to match.com)
Is that supposed to mean “we don’t want your kind here” or “everyone knows Match.com is the place to go for sexual diseases”?
@Joe C
Wow, I didn’t even see that. I think it’s probably meant as a joke. In poor taste, but a joke.
Ugh, poor taste is right :P If you have to wonder this much about it, it ain’t much of a joke
It tells me I’m the boy next door (http://www.okcupid.com/personality?type=RGLD&g=1&o=1), which I didn’t mind until it said that as I got older (I’m already in my 50s) I’d start asking kids for backrubs. Not my thing at all, though I do appreciate a good backrub. I prefer the “rubber” to be an adult though. ;)
