    Beast, as for your pictures:

    Use the black and white one as your profile picture.

    Use the one with the cousins as the 2nd picture

    Use the one with the close up of you and your friend as the third picture.

    Those are your strongest pictures. The black and white one is the most flattering one of you.

    wait

    uh the one thats black and white is with my friend

    i am confuse

    I just got in a really nice OKC chat with this girl

    here's a photo:
    6472427980303146732.jpeg

    we agreed to meet up for coffee

    and after we set a time and date she tells me she was born a boy, has been on female hormones for a year or so and still has male equipment

    I...

    have no fucking idea

    I've nothing against transgenders and I know we have some here, but this is just way out of my experience zone

    I'm still going to meet her, I think, but some advice would be very much appreciated

    two things

    try your best to communicate and not judge

    gender is a difficult thing for a lot of people, and the biggest favor you can do to her is be understanding

    and the best thing she can do for you is to talk honestly, like she has thus far

    Yeah I gotta admit, that's pretty good that she was honest and upfront from the get-go. Make sure you return the courtesy and just see where this goes. I can only imagine it's a hell of a shock for you, but yeah like macro said roll with it.

    Be honest, if you don't want anything to do with that, say it. If you're cool with it, be cool with it.

    Don't do anything because you feel GUILTY though. That will just lead to resentment later on if any relationship happens.

    I have had an OkCupid account for six years. Hardly bothered myself with it. I think I have sent one message in that entire time.

    I know why I don't get messages. It's more or less a joke account and all I like doing is those stupid tests.

    http://www.okcupid.com/profile/Macro9

    You folk talking 'bout Ghostbusters might get a kick out of the last part. I might expand my profile even further. It will be all bullshit or my take on humor. Which isn't very humorous.

    If you don't feel comfortable with dating a transgender, don't. People date or refuse dates for far less important reasons and they are mostly legitimate.

    Alright.
    You are a good looking fellow, get some more pictures up, some where you can see the top of your head, you could be bald and we would never know!

    I've never been much of a go-getter in terms of meeting people, but I'm looking to change that now. I can't say I have much, or any, experience dating. Saying your not a go getter at anything is bad, it sounds negative. Why not say something like "Im a bit shy at first until you know me, I prefer a select group of friends that Im close to, than lots that I'm not" this is the kind of same thing but sounds better.

    Also cut completely that you have little dating experience, we don't need to know that, it makes it sound like you lack confidence.

    I really love video games and am trying to base a career around creating art for them. I love the rain. I love webcomics, especially MS Paint Adventures and Penny Arcade. Of course there's some webcomics I find pretty horrible, too. I also like graphic novels, of any persuasion (Japanese, American, other, etc.). I don't this is needed here, this belongs more in a hobbies section.

    I'm currently studying at a digital arts college for a bachelors degree in applied computer science. Specifically I'm in a program studying game art and design, and I want to work in the video game industry when I graduate. Good. Anything else you could add?

    I'm great at video games... or I like to think so. At the very least, I play them a lot! Ha.
    I am good at making people laugh and smile. Also I can cook a little bit, but I need more practice.
    Third mention of video games, maybe chop it out, or put it as the second thing. Making people laugh sounds better first.

    I have no idea. Maybe my hat? Yes but do you wear it everywhere you go? Say your nice smile, you're American, you're bound to have nice teeth.

    I have a particular fondness for video game soundtracks. Do you think I've said "video game" enough yet? :P Chop it.

    Tea in the morning, good man.

    Video games, art, the future.
    The current state of the world. Technology.
    change video games to "my future career" perhaps.

    Doing schoolwork or browsing the internet or playing a video game. Yeah, exciting I know. Help me make this section more interesting ;) Look, I have no issues with you talking about video games so much, but I am on PA so I expect that. Why not reading or finding some new music. This can be a conversation starter.

    I... really like Final Fantasy 7. It's all the rage to be snobbish about that game these days, but I just can't help it, it was my first RPG style game. It felt so fresh and novel when I first played it that it wedged itself deep in the nostalgia center of my brain! This is... okay, at best. Some girls may not get this.

    ... you'd like to hang out sometime with a silly, geeky guy who loves video games. This is alright.

    Hope that helps somewhat.
