Free online dating site :) Free hook ups! What more can you want. Better than plenty of fish. Not as good as match but it is FREE.
After 2 weeks the website advertisement settings will block you from messaging unless you agree to be trolled by targeted ads... uugghhh
So I've used the site/service off and on since probably 2015, maybe a bit longer. When I originally found it many of the services you now pay for you could use for free. Now they basically charge you for everything useful. I don't fault them for wanting to make money, but now it's just a shell of it's former self.
The moderators are monstrous hypocrites, it was my experience uploading pics that if I uploaded ANY pic other than face shots of myself they'd get deleted where as almost every woman I came across had pics of their cats, dogs etc up and those NEVER got deleted when reported, I'd actually favorited several profiles and check.
Next is the site is run by flaming liberals who will not tolerate any sort of free thinking. If you watch profiles most everyone who doesn't identify as "liberal" will put "other" because putting anything else will catch you a ban or shadow ban, if your account isn't outright banned you'll find yourself with no matches day in and day out.
My account was actually banned after 6 months of activity. As I said I've been using the service off and on for a number of years, use it for a few months then delete for lack of decent humans, fake profiles, gold diggers etc. I actually have met 3 women from the site and they were utter garbage humans, and chatted with many more that I caught in lie after lie, several made me think they were bots. Anyway after getting fed up with the crap and hypocrisy on womens profiles I put on my profile "Women's list of demands = preference, Men's list of demands = hate speech and misogyny." I was banned for that. I contacted okcupid because originally they didn't tell me why my account was banned. Email after email and all I got was an automated response that directed me to page saying my account violated their rules. I eventually got an email from a random yahoo email account from someone claiming they were a moderator for Okcupid and he or she explained they never tell anyone why they were banned and that I was banned for the above because one of the moderators is a flaming feminist and my comment literally hurt his feelings.
Terrible! Requires a subscription to everything! I searched a lot, and finally found the best site. Here it is https://clck.ru/32fMar
This is the absolute WORST website for dating imaginable. Totally setup for phishing and scamming. The profiles are made up of the worlds most uninteresting, desparate and ugly people. TOTAL TRASH.
By far the worst on the market. Would ot recommend to anyone, save yourself the time and choose something else..
Okcupid used to be "Ok" before it changed its ways. It used to be that people could send anyone a message and they could send one back free of charge. It used to feature ads as their bread and butter. I guess back then it was a "startup" that used the "free" status as a come-on and then decided to slap a $15 monthly fee just to do what you used to do for free, which was freely message potential dates and see who actually "liked" you. Now, it's full of fake profiles and gold-digging scammers and forget about ever getting in touch with any potential matches, it's behind an exorbitant paywall with not guarantee that you'll get a mutual match. Oh, and you had better hold your tongue about your "preferences". If you prefer not to date single parents and mention this just to save yourself and other people time and just manage expectations, better not let the fascist "woke" admins hear - you'll immediately get the banhammer. It's ok to be trans, pansexual, trisexual, bisexual, asexual, demisexual or whatever - just never say what type of person you prefer NOT to date - that's just being "not inclusive" and therefore "evil" in their minds.
You. An be friends with some people for years and later realise they are not friends with you. This will make them feel detached
Well... I love the idea of the personal questions, and I love their design.
BUT - there are some creepy people there, so no 5 stars from me.
I've been joined but did not find the right one. I love pantyhose so after joined to pantyhosedating.co.uk
I spent hours getting my account set up and messaging a few women and instead of seeing if I had a reply the next day my account is banned.
I dated a girl within 2 wks period after signing up...
I still single and no longer dated that girl, but hey, OKC did his job! Right?
Fraud people directly saying all females here are behaving like prostitutes worst worst worst easy way to earn money from females
It's good for dating but it's not show all available profile Available near by. Only few high ranking but overall experience good and reliable

He wants me to dress up like a 16 year old in a school girls out fit and then bare my arse out to him for anal sex he says if it is ripping it is good he wants to rape and beat me until i can not move.
He said he would capture me in his basement and then use me as he feels until i am bred and then sell my babies.

BE CAREFUL WOMEN ARE BEING ROBBED AND RAPED THERE ARE CRIMINAL CONS, THIEVES AND RAPISTS IN THIS HORRIBLE DATING SITE.
Everyone seems to like Match, but I've not had much luck with them. I would recommend giving this site a try.
Answer: It's good only if you absolutely feel the need to burn your money and time! Seriously speaking, don't repeat my mistake! I had wasted plenty of time and emotions there trying to find a gem among rubbish. Just go to a decent and efficient site with good reputation and you will have plenty of choice there as long as you are a normal and adequate person. I'm using https://j4l.com/402007 And I'm content with it. I found several ladies that I really like, I had meetings with them and now its the time to choose for me!
Answer: OLC is so so... Most of the woman are in dream land and seeking Mr USA. And are not going to meet you in person 95% of the time... You really need to weed out the B. S & players... And that is simple to do... If they can't meet you in person in public with in one week. Drop them... Don't waste your time... Next!
Answer: Terri - this is what I recently sent in about OKC. I will answer your specific questions at the end of this. I have heard many complaints about OKC and scammers. But I AM NOT HAVING ANYWHERE NEAR THE PROBLEMS THAT OTHERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT. I am on several sites, and I experience about the same % of scammers on all. 1) it is so easy to spot a scanner - he wants to use email or text/phone right away. Is this really a problem? I immediately block. 2) if he is in Africa or any other 3rd world nation, I immediately block. I filter my messages so that I do not receive messages from anyone who has answered less than 100 questions or is at least an 85% match. Scammers are so obvious. Also, I note that most scammers claim to be "god-fearing christians," or "looking for an LTR or marriage." I am an atheist and very liberal and state this in my profile and my questions. I know what I am about to say is very offputting, snobbish, elite, etc., but I don't think scammers hit atheist, well-educated, and skeptical people as much as they do others (christians). Sorry, but I did say you wouldn't like that. Scammers are on every site. I have been following the sites and the complaints about scammers. My conclusion, based on my experience, blogs, and LOTS of research, indicate that every site has about the same amount of scammers. Sites that provide almost 0% info on potential matches (Zoosk, POF, tagged, Chemistry, Match, ourtime, etc. - all worthless for matching, IMO) do NOT have fewer scammer than OKC. I am also a moderator on OKC. WORD: Do a GIS on every picture on every profile on every site. It will tell you if the pics were stolen from a commercial source (models, actors, etc.) or not. I have had a ton (sometimes 3/week) of dates from OKC, and I do not believe any of these guys were scammers. Finally, if you know how to spot a scammer, what difference does it make how many there are on any site? I am 59. Yes, I have many very young men contacting me. I just say "You are too young, but thank you for your interest." If they reply, I block. As I stated, I've met tons of great guys (and of course, creeps) and had a lot of dates. I have a lot of correspondence before the date, and make it clear that I am looking for LTR and NOT FWB, NSA (what a load of crap). I have not clicked with anyone yet; but the, I am an atheist, free-thinker, liberal in Texas. Not a lot of guys hit on me (after 18 months on OKC, I only get about 8 guys/week hitting on me. Check my profile: I'm not gorgeous (LIB75002) or email me: joannar75002@gmail.com). I will be happy to help you further, if requested.
Answer: If you use care and caution it's safe. Women are subjected to more weirdos but you can block them. Spammers are going to get through and they will usually ask for your email or phone number. If someone interests you message a lot before you meet and always meet in a public place. If someone insists on more than you're comfortable with move on.
Answer: You have to understand on clear thing: THIS SITE IS A 2 IN 1 DEAL. People are vetted based upon: 1) their overall attractiveness + 2) their ability to PULL IN MORE USERS I have found an UNDERGROUND OKC and have made some friends in that with my last account, but then admin began asking me strange questions about my experiences there that sounded alot less like SITE PATROLLING and a lot more like I WAS FOUND OUT AS A NON INSIDER among that group. I have a running list of accounts that are "sponsored" by the site. I was among the very first to report that okc was OWNED BY MATCH.COM to be used as its social outlet site. HOWEVER AS OF 2 DAYS AGO A MUCH BIGGER ANNOUNCEMENT WAS MADE: Match.com BOUGHT POF /Plenty of Fish and has bought into /partnered with TINDER. By years end ALSO be on lookout for Ashley Madison to be brought into the fold. WHY ALL THIS: to cut radically the price of the investment & upkeep of all those lab created profiles. BY overlapping data bases and also ADMIN STAFF... The operating costs should have al least a 40% reduction which means 40% more profit. Just so you know Toni, look up Passionate Composer. I will write you back. REAL PEOPLE DO THIS. You may like the profile too. I was among the first to take advantage of the social site move.
Answer: Yes, I have had this happen a lot. People just want your phone number because they don't want to use the site. Then they want to ask questions like where you are from. I guess so they can research you. I am real leery about giving out my email and phone numbers. All kinds of scammers out there.
Answer: Yes, it is completely free... You pay for the more advanced features, but over the last ten years or so, I have met my last 6 lovers through the site ( though oftentimes it turns out that we already knew the same people... The matching algorithms are simply_that_ *good*!) and have never given them a single penny. ( though honestly, I really should, if only out of gratitude!) Give it a try, it really is head and shoulders above the rest of the sites out there...!
Answer: Not really, before Okcupid went full on liberal wasteland they used to release their numbers/stats and it was never bad to begin with. I believe it was like 60/40 depending on how you set up your searches. In my state it was close to 50/50.
OkCupid has a rating of 1.9 stars from 648 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers dissatisfied with OkCupid most frequently mention fake profiles, customer service and phone number. OkCupid ranks 644th among Dating sites.
