OkCupidReviews 646

I recently stayed away from that site after being on it for six months. I met a lot of robots and people with fake profiles, from Nigeria, Russia, Ukraine, just to name a few. They all have one thing is common and that is trying to empty every guys pocket. I met some girls who started to write to me for a couple of days. Suddenly after the third letter she came up with a story and she wanted me to send her my account number. It did not happen once but a least fifteen time. Thank God Am not a fool! Or else I would have been $#*!ed up where the sun never shines with some Vaseline. Guys stay the $#*! away from that site.

I've been on this site before but as of late it truly has gone down in the dumps.
The site is filled with a bunch of unattractive low lives.
Truthfully the messages I got a fifth grader would probably have more conversation than these men did.
I also have to mention the young early 20's looking to have fun with someone older. Oh please go away.
My last straw was when a guy called me very demeaning racial name. I had to get off that site and I WILL NEVER RETURN!

I met a girl from my city on this app. We talked for like 2-3 months before we actually start meeting. When I saw her for the first time I was simply stunned. She was pretty, funny and all around amazing person. We kept doing stuff together 3-4 times a week for the next 6 months. I even met her parents. Everything was going alright. And one day she just told me that her next relationship was going to be with the person she's going to get married and that I wasn't that person.(btw I'm 20 she is 22 lol). She then said we shouldn't talk anymore. Yeah well I was shocked. I never gave a $#*! when I got dumped or dumped someone from my past relationships. But this girl was different. I thought she was the one. Basicly I spent next 3 months depressed. I failed like 4 classes in 1 semester. I did serious self harm. So yea this app seriously f***ed up my life. Don't use it.

I joined OKCUPID at the request of friends and OMG what a let down. I was so excited my very first day I met this great guy. He immediately asked me to leave the site and give him a chance because he was leaving on a business trip and did not want me meeting anyone else. This goes on for two months. Turns out he had stolen some guys pics off the Internet. Posted fake Linkden page, fake FB Page, did not live in Miami as he said he did. He asked for money because he got stuck in aghana on business trip. Come to find out he was a black man lived in Ghana was just trying to meet a white woman and come to the USA. Said he had taste for a white woman. He was nothing but a scammer. I was so stupid because I fell in love with the person he claimed to be plus I gave him $900.00 and ran up $500.00 phone bill to cals to Ghana. Such a fool. He thought it was funny caled me laughing about it when he finally revealed himself.

I have been an active member of this site for a few years now, off and on. The types of guys I get most of my messages from are either husbands trying to cheat on their wives, couples in poly-friendly relationships, nerds who are very socially awk, and guys looking to apply for a green card. So, yes, I do get a lot of messages but it is not at all an ego boost! Quite the opposite actually, when I'm no longer laughing. Once in awhile, I find someone really cool that makes all the trudging through the sewage worth it. I tried a-list for 6 months, and I have to say it made the process a whole lot easier to be able to see who "likes" me. All the guys who liked me did not show up on my list of visitors, so I wouldn't have come across them otherwise. I have friends who joined and met their now-husbands within their first week on the site; however, the majority of women I know who've tried it have nothing but bad things to say about it and I can see why. Lol. There is no quality control on this site whatsoever, and as a woman you should expect to receive an overwhelming number of sexually explicit and outright creepy messages weekly if not daily. I sometimes wonder if I'm too harsh and give some guys the benefit of the doubt as a result. In rare cases I have been surprised, but for the most part not. Overall, I've had a lot of fun and got a lot of good stories out of it. If you're thinking of giving it a go, be prepared to put some time into it!

I went on this site after my son found a nice woman who he's now been with for three years.

In the year I've been on the site I've had several coffee dates but only got past a one or two date situation once and we saw each other for three months before deciding it wasn't working for us.

Everyone I've met has been nice and looked like their pictures or better. A few encounters never got past the messaging stage but for the most part they were OK experiences. You will get messages from obvious scammers but all you have to do is block them.

After a year I see many of the same faces so after having decided they won't work for me it narrows the field down considerably and I lose interest for awhile.

I have a woman friend on OKCupid and as I had suspected it's a whole different type of experience for a woman. She showed me the types of messages she's received and it seems for every guy who seems sincere there are 10 smarmy or downright creepy guys. I can't believe how douchey some of those guys are.

My son is very happy though and I think he and his girlfriend will probably get married.

An update: I met a woman on okcupid about 5 months ago and things are going great between us. I think this one may last.

Wow! Joined 3 days ago... the WORST most low class group of men on any dating site that I have been on. Be careful half of them are escorts or hedonists who are looking to draw you in (think they are REALLY interested in you as a person)... and then use and abuse you. One guy introduced himself with "I want to lick your $#*!?' Really? Trash! Degrading to women. Oh and 20 year olds will hit you up all day long thinking you are a cougar if your on the site and over 35 years old. Lastly they approved my profile from some silly quesitons I answered (half the time) I could not submit them cause the system was down. Yet Iguess some of them went through as they sent me an email saying...

Your profile, as of 8 milliseconds ago Approved!
Personality Really great
How bad people want you So bad

WTF? Bad people want me so bad?... HUH! What do they have under my profile when men look me up...?

Just Be careful! This is a hook-up site. If you're a nice person... forget it... you're not wanted on this dating site.

Really bad people on this site! Trust me please!

If you are in Atlanta, send her a message. You won't be disappointed. In that respect, she is typical of the women you will meet on this site.

OKPeople, OKCupid is, based on my experience, essentially an online brothel and its offering should be changed to the international escort service it more closely resembles. However, if you want to be contacted by hookers or scammers using fake profiles, then fill your boots and sign up!

Now, if you have a few moments, here's a heads-up on how it worked - or, rather, didn't - for me.

The fake profiles are generally, but not exclusively, those with a too good to be true head shot or saucy 'come hither' poses (You don't REALLY expect to find catwalk-ready supermodels or buffed Fabio types on a site like this - and don't flatter yourself into thinking that if they were really there they'd be making a beeline for you).

The fake profile will include an often occasionally grammatically incorrect and possibly generic-sounding 'About Me' type statement. However, be warned that the scammers' grammar has improved so that such statements no longer resemble those of Nigerian internet fraudsters (that's what a partial education does, I guess).

So, cut and paste these statements into Google, hit return and Bingo!: 'Katie' from Kent is also Larissa from Lithuania or Petra from Petrovsk on other dating sites. Surprised? Don't be as it's depressing but true that fraudsters - along with the rest of society's flotsam and jetsam - are floating around ready to attach themselves to the unwary on this site.

Avoid it like syphilis - unless you want to contract a dose and probably have your bank account drained at the same time (and that's the only thing that will get drained, guys!). To sum up, the only person likely to get screwed here is you - and not in a pleasurable way.

I wrote a review for OKC a few years ago giving them 5 stars, I've downgraded them because they have changed their way of doing things. Now in order to send a message you first have to 'Like' the person. So even if you are only interested in finding out where they got that awesome motorcycle in their picture, or want to get the excellent recipe they said they have for risotto, you still have to like them first. Worse yet, now to get your messages you have to search for them in some sort of demented hide and seek. Your messages no longer show up in your mailbox, now you get a notification you have a message and you have to swipe through the Quick Matches in order to find the one with an icon that says 'they messaged you!'. On average it takes 20 swipes to find the new message. The purpose of this is obviously to get women to look at more profiles, but since I'm not looking at the profile, just looking for the icon (and getting more and more irritated) it's not really working the way they intended. So you've found the message, it's someone who has sent a polite message and you'd like to be polite back even though you have no interest for whatever reason. Sorry, there's a problem, before you can reply to them, you have to 'like' them back! This means that this poor person is going to get a 'like' notification and think it's all good, when really you are just turning them down gently. I like to be nice, I like to offer an explanation or just a 'No thank you' to people who send me a polite and thoughtful message, now I feel uncomfortable doing this as I don't want to 'like' someone I don't actually like. Even if I am interested and do sort of like their pic/profile/message, I still don't want to 'like' someone I don't know.

Long story short I still like the basic OKC set-up for profiles and how open you can be about who you are and what you want, but I hate the new messaging system. I've suspended my profile and might one day become active again if I hear they have stopped trying to make me look at, like, and message people I have no interest in just so they can say 'Women are really active on our site, they look at tons of profiles and 'like' lots of our male members!' in their promotional material.
