There are a few reasons I haven't joined OkCupid, but one of them is that I'm conflicted about the "drugs" question. I want to answer it honestly but don't want employers (and other squares) to see the honest answer.

I could make it harder to find by making the profile visible only to other OkCupid users and not using my regular internet pseudonym, but my location and pictures would still be there.

(I'm using the "community throwaway account" to write this.)

Edit: I like your profile.

You can always leave the question blank on your profile and signal your drug use habits with the corresponding match questions. For a similar reason I don't list "casual sex" on my list of what I'm looking for, but my match questions suggest I'm amenable to it.
