It's free. I never get responses. Most of the women are not attractive. Most of us will never find love in any form we try and the electronic world is no different. But I least I don't have to pay. You get what you pay for. You see what I mean?

I came onto this site twice, each time paid the monthly fee and each time my preferences were totally ignored. I am specific about what I want so that I do not have to go through 100's of men's profiles to weed out the men who smoke or want children. I find this website did absolutely nothing for me. They say no particular pictures are allowed to be posted yet they are constantly posted and low quality people are here to choose from because no one is checking the sites for quality assurance. This is the worst site as far as low level for the price, is should always be free if the site isn't doing what it claims its doing for you.

To start with, OkCupid 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 AFFlirts.com
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they send you telling you about the women who are your potential matches, most of them are either absolutely fake or outdated or in relationship with other members.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.

Pay money for every step
October 25, 2023

It's funny that they claim to be free You have to pay money for pretty much every step you make. But just like a free site they have no service, no fraud prevention, no results. If I pay, I want the results. And I got them on J7Match.com I started going on dates almost immediately, all the women I met were very pretty and genuinely interested. I'm having a hard time making a choice. OkCupid is like a ghost town compared to it. I'm pressed to give OkCupid one star, but really they don't deserve any star at all, because they are absolutely pointless. Moreover, they mislead their customers by numerous bots and fake profiles.

Terrible
December 10, 2023

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?

DO NOT purchase! The ladies are either from Kenya, the Philippines, or Thailand and are bot accounts! If there is someone from your area (1 or 2 out of 100) they do not respond! Btw, I would rate it as a zero if I could!

Expensive and waste of money
November 7, 2023

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

Very suspect
December 13, 2023

I joined OK Cupid hoping to meet local ladies to interact with. Sadly the overwhelming majority of the women on the site are from other countries looking for assistance in coming to America. That is not what I signed up for. Unless you are looking to import women stay clear of OK Cupid.

Kind of mean
January 20, 2024

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.

Full of Fake profiles
January 7, 2024

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.

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.

People don't respond
January 14, 2024

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

Save your money
July 21, 2022

I took their 50% offer and bought 1 month for $25. If you are looking to throw money away, this is one place to do it. It's a rotten company and rotten service that doesn't help its customers ~ it just takes your money and you are on your own. Like most dating apps, you have to pay them if you want to see who likes you. So who liked me? Kenya. Somalia. Philippines, Thailand. Indonesia but not a single person from the US, much less from Colorado where I live. The day after I paid to subscribe, their customer pool dried up and never came back. You're lucky if 2 or 3 new ones pop up daily. This website/service is a terrible and total waste of money. Give your money to a homeless person instead.

Despite a preference for local matches, all my matches were from developing countries looking to get out. They lured me into the paid version of the app by saying I had lots of likes. Yeah, but likes from places I would like to have nothing to do with. I then restricted my preferences to local matches and still got matched with undesirables. How hard can it be to be matched with someone similar to me who lives locally? They promise quality matches. The only matches I see are those with minimal credentials. And they should really restore the income thresholds. Makes it easier to screen for potentials.

MORE CL IN DISGUISE
July 11, 2020

Pretty much the same people form all these site si have noticed, after being bullied in a few intros by the same person i reported and now have no access to my account funny how that happened? I only have to use dating sites because i work a weird shift its impossible to meet people, but these sites all seem to have the same people who don't work or have a place to live or just wanting random sex, look go hired a hooker and pay for it if that's what you want. And after you complain to staff about repeated harassment, funny how all my white friends can access their accounts yet mine says server error these days not my service not my device? Guess its my race sadly

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.

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!

I set up the account, spend several hours (!) answering their match questions, browsed some matches (did not seem very well matched, though, because the questions asked were strange at best, a lot about sex, too...). Then stayed away from the site for about three days and when I came back, I tried to log in, but my account was cancelled. Complete waste of time!

Great website! Cool approach to the online dating world. Mostly clean well managed, Free! There are obviously things that could be improved, like server speed or conversation approaching style option expansion, but again it's free.

Signed up, thought it was very well designed and easy to use. Then I try to sign in a couple of days later only to find out my profile (which I spent a good few hours creating) was deleted due to some unknown reason. I had not broken any rules or done anything unusual.

Search the complaints and you will find many more like this. They also have NO customer support.
