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.

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!

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.

Deceptive design
August 16, 2023

I had utilized OKCupid before between 2012 to around 2019. I was able to land a number of quasi successful relationships. Years later, when I was in a place in which I felt online dating was called for again, I decided to return to OKCupid, especially after reading on one news site that compared dating apps, and noted that a strength of OKCupid was the large database of participants. I pulled the trigger and set up my profile. I was very surprised by the number of likes that I had received, especially compared to other dating apps I had tried. I received 80 within a 24 hour period! I should have been more suspicious than I was. Thinking that I did not want to miss out on an opportunity, I decided to do something that I did not originally plan, that is to purchase a premium service. I went with the mid-tier 3 month for just under $90. When the transaction was complete and I could see who actually supplied those likes, I IMMEDIATELY regretted my decision and felt like I had blown close to $100. Only two of the likes came from my home state. The vast majority of them came from Kenya, Uganda, Philippines, and Thailand. I had even applied a 25 mile limit in my preference section. What's worse is that I had emailed OKCupid customer service to address my displeasure of this interface design, and voiced that I thought there was some deception involved in getting their customers to go premium, but after several days, they have not even bothered to respond. On top of that, the selection of local singles/participants is quite limited. Avoid OKCupid at all cost.

Scam
August 13, 2023

They advertise as a completely free site and it's not, only to look at pictures. I see the same faces and they push likes and messages to get you to pay. Needless to say i didn't fall for it and won't pay to chat with someone who really isn't interested to get to know me

Full of $#*! Boys
August 3, 2023

If you're looking for a serious relationship then OkCupid is not the way to go. It's mainly a hookup app. Every guy I have matched with turned out to be a huge disappointment.

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.

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!

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.

I met my wife on OKcupid, so it worked for me. I think the trick is to answer their questions truthfully, beware of liars and players, and only meet those you match over 90% (my wife and I were a 99% match!)

No cash - no use
March 25, 2023

Spent ages creating an account and answering the questions. All the people who 'liked' me were blurred out - I needed to commit to a payment plan to see them. A dishonest business model.

Terrible site to navigate
March 25, 2023

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.
