“Great dating site to find serious love partner”

This is a great dating site to find serious love partner. Most profiles are real people. Dated several there and married one too.

People don't respond much on here and they want more money to have you profile shown more often when others are searching. I pause 59 for the subscription what a waist of money never again

This app is trash! There's no Black women on this dating app. It's like they completely left Black women out and only focused on white women. They truly need to do a better job of marketing and reaching out to women of color. Hands down the worst dating app ever. Down below, I added a screenshot of a user's profile stating that she does not support Black Lives Matter. Now how in the hell am I supposed to feel safe on this app?

Tip for consumers:
It would have been helpful to know that this app lacks culture and only focuses on white people. WHERE ARE THE BLACK QUEENS?!?!?

Ok cupids filters are weak. I am absolutely not attracted to African women and have no desire to travel there. Yet every time I boost, I get likes and intros for 90 African women who I have to reject. Giving them hope that I might like them is cruel. It's better for them to not see my profile.

Also, it would be nice to have a filter option that let's me search for women by country. If you like Brazilian women, you should be able to search for them.

To start with, Match is very expensive when you pay for all the features you need to use it comfortably. Secondly, it's pointless site. I received 5 letters in 2 months, in the meanwhile I get 100 letters per month on EasyFling4You
I wonder how many real women there are on OkCupid. Don't pay attention to the reports they send you telling you about the women who are your potential matches, most of them are either absolutely fake or outdated or in relationship with other members. For some reason nearly all messages I sent on OkCupid were ignored. What is the point of such kind of search? It's pointless site.
Also OkCupid is very expensive when you pay for all the features you need to use it comfortably.

OkCupid is great but dont rule out other good options (e. G wejustfit.com etc) the bottom line here y'all is that you gotta be patient and smart enough to put the effort in if you want to arrange real dates using internet dating. Trust me y'all, it does pay off if you keep your expectations in check. Good things do come to those that wait.

This website is full of fake profiles from US and abroad. As soon as you join, you'll get tons of likes and messages from fake users to lure into taking membership. I wouldn't even spend 5 bucks for this crappy dating website.

Those who are looking for love can meet each other on the free dating site OkCupid. Since 2008, OkCupid has been the highest rated app in the Apple App Store. In addition to assisting you in finding love, OkCupid wants to do so on your terms. OkCupid has a tonne of features that make finding love simpler than ever before, including hundreds of questions and answers that can help you determine if someone is perfect for you.

I'd like to leave a more in-depth review, discussing the sites features, the quality of matches, the variety, how it works to verify profiles and keep away bots, catfishers etc. But I can't. I made a perfectly OK profile, nothing explicit or rude, no swears, slurs or anything vulgar or otherwise problematic. Once I finished my profile, I was promptly signed out.

I tried signing back in only to find out my newly made profile, as well as my phone number were banned.

I tried appealing the ban through customer service. They took days to get back to me, and weeks to let me know that they will not be unbanning me. Didn't tell me what rules I violated either.

With how long my profile was up there wasn't even an option someone could have reported me, so I assumed it was some glitch, which they refused to correct, and refused to elaborate on why they didn't.

Complete garbage. Wouldn't leave any stars if that was a possibility. Just use Plenty of Fish.

Ok cupid is like Woodstock 99. It promises a good time but what it becomes is a crowd driven by sexual violence. If you leave the crowd online to meet a stranger you risk sexual coercion or worse.

Tip for consumers:
Scams credit cards to charge more than you signed up for

Most profiles are fake. Price is way too expensive to look at fake profiles. Stick to Tinder or Bumble. You can actually meet and talk to people on Tinder and Bumble. OK Cupid in Mexico or USA is simply waste of money and time 100 percent scam

Tip for consumers:
Cost $74 Australian dollars a month to look at fake profiles

OkCupid showed me the same 5 local people over and over. I also had many suggestions for obvious 'catfish'. The worst part was that they continued to charge me ($47/mo) even after I deleted the account. You will never speak with a human when you try to contact them. I asked them to refund my money or restore the account. I will NEVER recommend this app to anyone!

Tip for consumers:
Terrible app that has gone down hill.

The ordinal founders sold out. Now Match Group has completely ruined the last actual useful free dating app/site, because the competition was too hard for them. 10 likes per day limit on the free version. Most likes/views are from halfway round the globe by bots that never get taken down. Most local profiles are dead ends of people that left the app/site and never deleted their profile but will never get removed so that Match group can continue to sell ads space by using inflated user numbers.

Tip for consumers:
I don't think there is a refund policy. It's buy it and use it or lose it.

It amazes me the number of people that are still coming on to review sites and complaining about losing money to the scam organizations. Never ever pay any money to any dating site whether it be okay Cupid or match or Tinder or Bumble etc. You do not have to pay money to get the same bad experience. Paying money only means you are giving your money away for nothing. They will scam you out of your money. Never ever pay money to these sites. You do not have to pay money to find a date on these sites. Paying money does not increase your chances of finding a date. Read all of the hundreds and hundreds of reviews here and on other review sites to see that paying money is a scam and if you are willing to give up your money then do so but do not come back on here and complain. Never ever pay money to any of these sites.

If you read the reviews you will notice that the match group purchased okCupid and destroyed it. It is now only a shell of its former self completely filled with fake and scammer profiles. It's only reason for being is to scam unsuspecting new people and to get money for the match group or OKCupid. You will not find a match on OKCupid. You will just lose your money. If you have already lost your money, coming on and complaining is not going to help anyone. Just don't ever spend your money again on any dating site. When you stop paying for these dating sites they will go away. When they go away they will hopefully make room for legitimate sites. Any site run by the match group is not going to be a legitimate site. I am not saying you will not find a match on these sites but it will be difficult. Paying money will not increase your chances of a match and will only give your money away to these scam organizations.

I stopped using this site months ago. It became a 100% waste of time. There's no value in this site. If you look through the reviews you will see the percentage of negative reviews. Any five star or positive review read with caution because it is most likely fake and provided by a scammer or the company itself.

Tip for consumers:
Please know that this is a dead site. It is no longer being used by real people or real daters. It is completely filled with scam and fake profiles. The only real people are new unsuspecting users and that is it. Beware, never give money or pay money to this site or any match group site.

The site is clumsy, the like button doesn't work. When you send a message and they respond you can send additional messages. There is no search engine to find the ideal person. You have to struggle thru the site mistakenly to find anyone. Your bombarded with people from overseas that you would never consider. It's expensive compared to other sites. Not a site to find someone easily.

OkCupid is a great place to meet new people, especially if you are looking for something casual or casual/dating relationships. OkCupid offers many different tools to help you find the right match. It's also one of the most popular dating sites in the world and has been around since 2004.

I am very sad that I have to lower my rating from 5-star to 3-star. Edit: And now to 2 stars. Every change in recent few years made it worse and worse. Also, every change of interface created tons of glitches. First the site stopped showing who visited you. It's o. K, because it made messaging and likes more important. Than they removed the possibility to see when someone was online. So you can be stuck in messaging someone, who wasn't there for years. Then they opted out messaging, unless you match with someone. It would be o. K, if girls were clever enough, to understand the principle of Liking and Matching. 90% of profiles now claim "Message me, I don't see likes". Recently they introduced some form of instant chat client. Which is so buggy, it's awful to use. Especially on mobile version. Speaking of mobile... I never could use mobile app, because it was not available for my region. And later because my device is not compatible. The most recent change is they limited number of Likes per day. It would be o. K, if it also wasn't so glitchy. Twice already my limit time expired, but magically it instantly renewed for another 24h on itself. The latest is that in Browse users you don't see those "who you liked" anymore. Are you people doing it deliberately, to destroy the site?

I must say I was free user all the time. And therefore it is still better than most other sites

It just fits me for some reason

I've been using a lot of dating sites, with more or less luck. Every site has it's pro's and con's. But OKCupid seems like a place, that has been so thoroughly developed. Many say it's a CIA project. Well, it's been developed by professionals, that's for sure:)

1. The search option is nice. You can choose between several criteria, even if you are a free user.

2. Messaging system became messy lately, but I got used to it. You need to match with someone in "Double take" game, to send her a message. I don't have a problem with that. It prompted a lot of girls to start playing the game, after all. And yes, it helps chasing away fake users.

3. There is a lot of room to describe yourself, on all aspects of life. I was always putting a lot of effort in that matter. And appreciated users who also do it. You can create more photo albums and put a lot of photos on your profile. You can also connect Instagram profile.

4.It seems to me that it attracts somewhat more intellectual users, which I like. Maybe that is the reason why many reviewers are complaining:)

The downside is there are so many transgenders. But it's not the technical issue, so I can't complain.

What else to say? I've met plenty of people through OKC, from all around the world. My current relationship is conceived on OKC. It is only one of the reasons for a 5 star rating

I paid almost $90 dollars for a three month membership, only to get, at most maybe ten messages from men that were all from out of state despite my settings. After messaging with them for a few minutes, most of them seemed decent and stated they were looking for a long term relationship but shortly after we got to chatting the conversation on their part became sexual. It was a real turn off as I'm looking for a quality person. I made very clear what I'm looking for on my profile but the site is full of cringy men looking for hookups. Unless that's your cup of tea, Don't waste your time or hard earned money.

Be careful, even if you sign up for only 1 month, they will continue to charge you unless you cancel. I recommend you cancel right away if you DO join. You still get to keep your membership for the remainder of the month, it just won't charge you when it's over. The paid version also isn't that great. You're better off just messaging random people than waiting to see who likes you. Messaging is free.

Tip for consumers:
Don't trust them. They will take your money without you knowing and ignore your emails.

SEARCH Women 46-59 within a 5 mile radius of Somerville, MA (includes Boston and all of the immediately surrounding cities and suburbs) who were online in the last month. NO OTHER CRITERIA. Exactly 12 hits.

Nothing else you need to know.

Only one thing makes sense. Match.com owns Okcupid. OKC is free, match isn't. Why would Match want to make OKC decent? Of course they're strangling it slowly to death. Give it another year.

If you want a Real Lady, try J4Dream.com I got really lucky there and now I live with the woman I couldn't even dream of. Yes, I had to travel, yes, she is a foreigner, yes, it took some time – but she is absolutely worth it! Now I know what it feels like to live with a model-looking woman with sweet heart and family-oriented personality. She is 100% opposite of OkCupid women.
I wonder what's wrong with OkCupid women? Looks below average, overweight, uneducated, ridiculously picky with long list of requirements for men.
If you come across a really good-looking woman on OKCupid, she is most likely a scammer, so be very careful! Scammers usually ask for your email, exchange a few letters and then ask you for money. It goes without saying that regardless of the sob story no money should be sent to scammers!

Couple of years ago I used OKCupid for a while. Plenty of my messages went unanswered but I got few dates as well, one of which led to a relationship.

Fast forward three years: I'm single again and open a new profile on the site. It turns out, there's been lots of changes that practically ensure prospective partners won't see each others' messages. A shame really.
