I made an OK Cupid profile but I'm really nervous about sending message with this, any good places with tips on what to write?
1) Make sure your email subject is eye catching (that means funny)
2) Make sure your email seems "personalized". What that means is you specifically comment on things she wrote in her profile
3) Be funny and positive
4) Always end the email with a question. It is proven that asking questions has a greater chance of eliciting a response vs simply making comments.

The effectiveness is per ovulation cycle not per bone...
True, I didn't figure in the fact that you can't naturally get pregnant every single day of the month, protection or not.

Damn you, now it gets even more confusing!

I just usually ask them about their stance on abortion, anyone that is pro life gets deleted.

I'd be more worried about the pictures in your profile than the text. Make sure your pictures show you 1) happy 2) doing fun and interesting things with other people.

If you've got 6 pack abs just post a shirtless picture and profit.

the trick to the shirtless pics are make sure its in a party/group/social environment. a shirtless bathroom selfie is gonna make you look like a douche. but a "whoa am I accidentally shirtless playing sand volleyball with a group friends?" is a different story

True. I'm a hairy fatass so I never put that much thought into it.

If taken properly it's been scientifically proven 99%+ effective, which is FAR higher than the rating condoms receive. This assumes she takes them at the same time every day, and isn't taking other meds that fuck with BC like certain antibiotics. Is it absolutely foolproof? No, but it's currently THE most effective form of birth control on the market short of abstinence or sterilization. It never ceases to amaze me though how chicks can pop the pills for years without doing any research into which pills are best, the timing requirement, or what drugs can interfere with their effectiveness. As much as I'd like to convince myself that women's cavalier attitude towards BC bills is tied to general irresponsibility, I'm actually convinced they have some subconscious desire to get knocked up.

Chaos: That seriously sucks dude. I would have gone fucking apeshit if I got saddled with another kid because my wife "forgot". Then a 3rd? Is there a way to give +5 compassion reps on this board?
I'm good with it, now that I'm a crusty old married man I live vicariously through you young warriors. I just don't want anyone having a false sense of security. That shit happens. There are a multitude of factors that can compromise the effectiveness of birth control, things they probably don't even know about or you would definitely never know about.

Also, when I say she "forgot", we're just theorizing, it isn't like you'll ever really know. She missed one pill, got pregnant, we blamed that. Does that mean it was the cause? Who knows.

Be careful in the field, bros.

Why be nervous? You've never met these women and if they don't respond you most likely never will. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by messaging.

This. People are pretty fucking stupid when it comes to shit like this. It shouldnt surprise anyone that birth control pills can so easily fail yet in a controlled scientific setting they are just about flawless.

Literally everything works better in a controlled scientific setting. In the real world, things are not controlled, and maybe your gf isn't educated on the risks and takes antibiotics, decreasing the effectiveness of her birth control and suddenly you're in a Vegas chapel getting hitched to the "kinda nerdy, laid back, just like to have fun!" girl from Match.com. And/or going to jail for pushing her down a flight of stairs. Be ever vigilant!

Then thats a result of stupidity, not the pill failing.

Met a girl tonight, on the date I asked about her stance on abortion, she said she's already pro choice, banged her twice tonight. She went home and now I'm just looking at Fedor posting trannies. The internet is amazing.
