OkCupid

Don't join this site. There is a total recurring theme to all the "men" robots? Scammers? That will write to you. They are in the military. They work on an oil rig. They are in the oil "business". They are engineers. They have a wife that died. They have one child. They are looking for a soul mate. You, somehow, are it! You will find that the profiles may be written in good English, but any other communication with them has odd syntax, misspelled words, like English is not their language. Replies to conversation with them will not address what you have said. Only basic questions will be answered. There may be long soliloquies about romance and ideal love that have nothing to do with how You are trying to communicate. You will be messaging and then find out that suddenly their profile has been deleted.
I do not know what the total scam is, what the end purpose is, or who is actually doing what is done, but it is all false, unreal, and unlike normal human behavior. Just don't
Do this site, do yourself a favor.

I am a big fan of this site. I find the quality/quantity of men no different than on paid dating sites such as Match.com, but it is free! Why pay when you don't have to? I actually find the instant messenger feature to be easier to use and more reliable on OkCupid's site than on Match. I also love how interactive the site is in that you can participate in forum's and answer questions publically or privately to help determine your best match. This site is a lot of fun, go for it!

Oh I do want to provide some helpful hints for online dating to consider not just on this site but on any...

1) Make sure the person has multiple pictures of themselves
2) Make sure at least one or more pics show their entire body
3) Make sure you see their teeth in at least one of the pics (Trust me you don't want any surprises here, lol)
4) Pay attention to how the person presents themselves in their profile. Not just what they say, but how they say it. If they come across as negative, shallow, and/or they have a lot of typos and can't communicate their ideas clearly these are some serious red flags.

I hope you find my review and additional tips to be helpful!

What do women love?! Confident and bad guy type.
What do women hate?! Depressed men, not confident to approach women.So just by been on OKC and other dating sites we loose a lot of points, let alone the messages that we send which make as look like losers by putting this women that we don't even know on pedestal.
Like all the other dating sites OKC is made of 50% fake profiles, 30% ugly, overweigh with kids women that are looking for handsome, tall and rich guy... go figure.
10% paid for sending messages and 10% women that just got depressed one day and opened an account.
As soon as you open the account you get a message from some woman that want to chat and meet you. When you try to reply her account is deleted.
Next some women messages you saying that "it's a match" or "what's going on" but after you greed them they never reply back.
Then you start sending like 50 messages and after that nothing happen... Nada!
Seriously guys there is no women on the internet... not even average women! If there is there must be something seriously wrong with her.

I have been a member for over two years and I have had no luck whatsoever. The girls are too selective, the picture guidelines are too ridiculous, and the matchmaking is poor. Out of my entire time being on OkayCupid, only about six women messaged me, but those conversations never lasted long. The majority of that 6 also took a while to reply, while I replied almost instantly. Now you may be thinking that 6 is a lot, but over the course of two years, six is quite low. Of course I'm not expecting swarms of messages, but I would have expected a little more than six.

Me being a male 19 year old Atheist, I wanted to be be matched with like minded people, but nope. I get matched with 30+ year old people, highly Religious people, etc.

Based on the amount of questions I answered (I answered at least 1,700), I expected decent results (I was told my highest match would be 99.9%). But that would take effort from their staff.

Also being someone who has never dated before, my experiences only make me dislike OkayCupid even more. But I still keep my account up in hopes that something might happen. Though if this keeps up, I might just give up and delete my account.

If I could give 0 star I would. I subscribe for a month and there is no possible match that is appear on my screen. Completely ripped off!

After 3 years on OKC, all I can say to any self-respecting woman is, "Run the other way!" The best thing to come from OKC in my experience is, I have met one man three years ago, who I still see occasionally. He moved 150 miles away.

The other encounters I've had are scammers, married men actively looking for mistresses (no, thanks) and verbally abusive misogynists.

My most recent incident was the last straw that led me to delete my profile permanently. This man and I messaged a couple of days on the site. We then texted a couple days. I invited him to phone me. That's when he explained that he had adopted two children. This came as a shock to me, since he is my age (late 50's). While I respect his willingness to take in these kids whose mother was a drug addict, I didn't wish to share his journey. He asked if I wanted to meet him in person. I said no and he hung up on me. I texted him and thanked him for calling and hanging up on me. He launched into the most hateful insults I've ever gotten, all because is wasn't interested in dating a man with children. I called him a bully. He replied with more profanity and insults. I reported him to OKC for harassment. He replied that he did the same to me. I deleted his number from my phone and the texts he had sent. I did not deserve this outpouring of misogyny from this caveman in any way.

Any woman with any self-respect would not put her profile on OKC. Spare yourself the heartache.

Messaged over seven female profiles get banned. I never did anything. In the past when I was on there women were rude and nasty. I deleted my account. This time I get banned for no reason.

Okcupid is a fraud!
Stay far save your money. I joined for free, they let me browse a little, I received and sent few messages. Suddenly all stopped working. The only option they gave me was to subscribe. I was cautious and I got only 1 month subscription for 34 euro (in the end they charged 38 euro).
In less than 24 hours I got 208 likes and many messages. A dream, no? But to see who liked me or messaged, Okcupid asked me to pay more, to browse profiles they asked to pay once more. All was around upgrades and money. In 3 days experience on the site, I saw only 10-20 profiles. Same profiles, every day, no search criteria by location, age, etc. I just could not get in touch with anyone. Of course, I smelled the fraud. I immediately contacted their customer support asking to cancel as soon as possible my subscription and my profile, explaining why.
Is the first time when I was scammed online. I have to admit the site is well done to trick and still your money. I should've read reviews before I paid.
How and why this site and fraud continues to work legally? They should be taken to the court.

Excellent service and expert knowledge of the best company.Very helpful professional very well experienced and qualified

I've been on OKC for several years, on and off. I have met several ladies through the site who I had a lot of fun with. I like the fact that is essentially free. Most sites don't let you message people unless you pay. OKC is not like that you can message people right away. I suppose the downside is that many women especially the more attractive ones get a TON of messages. As a guy I find that many women don't respond to my messages often, my best results is where the girl has contacted me first.

I like the Q&A format. While some people who have answered 1000 questions just have too much time on their hands, I find it enables me to get a good feel if we are compatible. E.g. People who answer the question "Which is bigger the sun or the earth" and get it wrong blow me away! It makes me wonder if they rest of their answers are random.

I pay for A-list so that I can browse profiles without being seen and I can tell if a girl opened my email and just did not respond.

The biggest thing about OKC I like is the clean layout. Compared to the mess that is PlentyofFish OKC is super organized. They changed navigation slightly recently and I don't like it as much but it's still very clean.

And once again it's free.

Men looking for easy ways to have sex. On night stands are what most of them want. I did run into a con artist however who wanted sex and money. I think he is probably married. On our first date he came on very strong physically. Then he basically ignored me after asking for money for gas. He called me later and asked me for 1k for a household repair. It was out of the blue after much time had passed. I told him no. Then 6 months later he showed up at my doorstep asking for money. I made the mistake of letting him in. I gave him $40 so he would leave. He scared me. It has been over a year and he has not showed up at my home, so I hope I'm ok now. I contacted the site to report him and they did nothing. The other guys I met on there were just looking for a hook up and when I turned them down they sent me abusive angry messages. After ok Cupid I had no desire to date for a year and a half. I became totally uninterested due to the trauma of ok Cupid. If i had been looking to be used and abused for sex and money this would have been the site for me. Fortunately I want something healthy. I found using a religious site works better and the guys move more slowly and actually get to know the person.

Up front I give this site 5 stars. I am astonished that it is not the most popular site. Why: because it is the only free site that I have found that gives basic real contact with other participants, which just does not exist at any other site that I have looked at. No one seems to make this fact clear. You can pay for more features, but the lack of these features does not prevent you from making real contact. All the other sites want to charge you as soon as you click on sending a message and want to lock you into automatic renewal at substantial rates. In fact, looking at the reviews of these other sites, it looks as though they are being run by con artists. The constant changing of the cost at these other sites also suggests that they are trying to manipulate you.
As to the people presenting themselves at OKc, I have not found any evidence that it does represent the normal spectrum of people that you meet in every day life.
My suggestion is that you try it. I wonder if the negative reviews have been submitted by the other unscrupulous sites. It is well within the domain of a psychopaths.
