I have Cloudiah to thank (again!) for putting me onto this amazing article about a devious prankster who trolls pickup artists and other lonely horny hearts with a fake OkCupid account … that replies to all come-ons with selections from the ouvre of the legendary horse_ebooks, “the surreal Twitter bot that streams nonsensical snippets of text. The result: dozens of conversations from horny men desperately vying to have sex with a robot.”
And yes, it’s as funny as it sounds, especially when the guys try to use their PUA magic to “game” this imaginary HB10 (Hot Babe 10) – or should that be HRH10 (Hot Robot Horse 10)? – only to receive responses like “VERY SOME VERY NO VERY SOME VERY CHANCE LITTLE CHANCE GOOD CHANCE LITTLE CHANCE GOOD CHANCE CHANCE CHANCE CHANCE , NAVAL” and “CHAMPION CHAMPION CHAMPION CHAMPION CHAMPION CHAMPION CHAMPION CHAMPION Corp. CHAMPION Corp. CHAMPION Corp. CHAMPION CHAMPION CHAMPION CHAMPION.”
And of course the guys keep trying.
(All this made me wonder if anyone had set up a Gertrude Stein_ebooks account, and … yes, someone has! FOLLOWED!)
Anyway, you all need to go read the post. Check out the Okc_ebooks Tumblr blog for more.
My favorite one is this one, where the guy figures out that it’s sending random replies and is just like “That could be sexy.”
On the internet, nobody can tell you’re a nonsensical twitterbot.
So do these guys on OKC fail the Turing test?
PUAs really will try to hump the leg of whatever, just like annoying little dogs.
Oooh look! Sexbots ARE real! But since the menz still aren’t getting laid…could this be a feminist sexbot? Oh the misandry!!
@hellkell
I think the little dogs might have more variety in their approaches than the PUAs do, though.
I think this one is my favourite: http://okcebooks.tumblr.com/post/42707415307/rub-ratings-to-two-decimal-places
I mean, five sig figs of “rub rating”?
Oh my goodness. One of those guys messaged me when I had an OKC account.
So much lol.
Thought you might want to check out this link – it’s an article of a guy whinging about guys supposedly whinging about why there aren’t more women on the tech talk circuit (he uses language that definitely screams MRA to me): http://www.kernelmag.com/yiannopoulos/4115/put-a-sock-in-it-you-dickless-wonders/
“Rub ratings” !!
Oh god I’m scaring the cat I’m laughing so loud.
I like the guy who gets turned on by Stalin.

Doesn’t every guy get turned on by Stalin. We sit on the couch and whisper ‘Baby, tell me about the pograms.”
Ah, that explains why every year on our anniversary my partner wants me to sign off on a 5-year plan.
I thought Vladimir Putin was the one everyone gets turned on by.
That Stalin one with its Heidegger reference:
“Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table”
A random Python quotes generator might be interesting too. Bet half those PUAs would never get it.
katz – only cos Stalin isn’t around any more. 😀
Well, Katz, it is true that there are a lot more topless photos of Putin, but he doesn’t have a mustache.
But Putin shot a whale with a crossbow. FOR SCIENCE.
Every time I delve into that tumblr I end up laughing until I cry.
He’s just overcompensating for not being as cute as Young Stalin.
Few of us can aspire to be as cute as young Stalin.
Putin’s PR stunts are totally ruining my ability to see him as the Patrician, which was the first impression he made.
Putin as Vetinari? The mind boggles! 😀
Though Vetinari was good at scaling walls and stuff in the Assassin days of his yoof.
Oh my god.
I admit the troll in me has kind of wanted to make an OKC or something profile just to see what happens, but now I don’t need to. I have this.
Praise be to Manboobz.
It was the former KGB thing that did it, plus he just looks rather calculating. I guess you really need PR stunts if you have a face that says “you would have to be a complete idiot to trust me”.
LOL true!
I’m waiting for a Photoshopped version of his topless pics to appear. Can’t have the chap looking middle-aged after all.
