OkCupid

Been using OKC for 3 years now. The search options are excellent, Interface is good... There are a lot of opportunities and space to present yourself to others. Matching questions are so obviously done by professionals. Liberal $#*!s, but still professionals. The only downside is that it is not that much popular service, where I live, thus number of users is pretty much limited. Still, they seem to be more intellectual. Only recently the changes made it a little worse. You can't see messages, until you match with that person, if you write a message to someone, you can't see their profile in search or even in messages anymore, until eventually replied, you can't hide people... Therefore a 4 star rating from me

Jerk outfit. Setup to steal your money. For free I saw attractive women. Once I paid they disappeared. Cancelled within 24 hours. Contacted my Credit Unions fraud department before the payment went through. I had already sent a message to OKcupid to refund based on their fraudulent claims. Of course, no response? The following day the fraud department called to see if I'd received any response from okc because they had gone ahead and processed my payment. Absolute scam. If you read the reviews on all the dating sites, none are as represented. Easy to steal from folks you don't have to face. Cowards?

Couple of years ago I used OKCupid for a while. Plenty of my messages went unanswered but I got few dates as well, one of which led to a relationship.

Fast forward three years: I'm single again and open a new profile on the site. It turns out, there's been lots of changes that practically ensure prospective partners won't see each others' messages. A shame really.

Its full of scammers, fake profiles, and some of the most shallow women you'll ever run into. If you actually want a date then lie, because if your not very well off forget about it. I don't like to post my job or pay, and nothing, so made second profile same pic of me diff email put my job down rounded figure of how much i make, pic of my car, and wow the likes and messages came rolling in all just wanting me to take them out, worst part is almost all of them i messaged on 1st profile

My biggest complaint is that you cannot select the racial background of the men you would like to date. In my case, my parents would freak if I ever brought a black guy to their house. My inbox gets flooded by messages from black guys. I have a red dot (responds very selectively) due to this, which makes other members less likely to message you. I sometimes wonder if these guys just do it on purpose since they know you won't respond. Aside from that, I dated three guys off the website. One was rebounding, another looking for casual, open relationships, and the third was thirty and still living with his parents.

Why does okCupid allow someone text me even if it's not a mutual like?
I blocked at least 50 people over the period of just 2 months if using it because of all the harassing messages. Guys are just indecent here.
They post pictures that are offensive, indecent. Okcupid doesn't do anything to filter them? I've reported at least 30 profiles.
You can't see who visited your profile anymore. So you don't know if there's a creepy stalker of yours...
And what's the deal with not providing an option to delete a profile? I can only disable my profile!?

I am working my little butt off trying to get some dates but not much is happening. OkCupid has been around a long time so I figured it might be a good place to start but my buddy keeps telling me I should have gone with wejustfit.com as it's more modern (whatever that means lol) and popular. I dont know. I've seen the ads for okcupid and figured it made sense to start there. Like the app and the general simplicity but maybe he's right and it's time to switch or even double down with a couple of sites at the same time, could give me the boost I need. Oh well, onwards and upwards, happy hunting folks:-)

Generally speaking all dating sites suck for guys. That being said, OkCupid seems to suck somewhat less than the others, and if you are only using the free version of the site then it's worth putting up a profile, as long as you don't let yourself get hooked on it and start checking your profile for more than a few minutes every other day.

I've had far better luck with the site meetup.com, where you actually get out of the house and meet people who have similar interests. The "sit-at-home" dating sites are just not an effective means of finding a date.

Had the account for about two years, went on a couple of dates, answered hundreds of questions everything from Ethics, 2017, Politics, Sex, Dating, Lifestyle, had over 20 'likes'. Came across someone who said she 'wanted to suck the blood of guys that kept messaging her'. Having never messaged this person before, I was banned from the site. Had never had one infraction, its one strike your out to the folks at OKC. Would rather be single to share the sentiments of many.

We all know about the popular dating sites; match, POF, tinder, wejustfit.com, etc. But I would say that okcupid is close to being on the same level as these main players. It has a really high amount of users (in my area I have lots of women in my search results and from what I can tell most are real people) and it's a nicely designed site that you can use on your tablet, phone, laptop or PC. It needs some work but its definitely one to watch and consider for your dating needs.

Been there, done that, still there for the automatic laughs.
Here is a hint " you have such a smile sparkling " 1. Grammar! 2 in my pics o do NOT smile
Extremely long introduction ending with could you be the one for me. NO
Also the widowed father and child that just moved here and want You in their lives. Plus don't forget the ones that were in Florida last month, Indiana last week, South Dakota this week with exact same pictures and profile. Bots never answer more than 5 of OKC questions. Take it all in stride. Play safe and with a grain of salt.

I have invested money and time into Okcupid. The following describes my findings:

The website actually has staff members posing as attractive female users. These users all present the same theme of a played out feminist or bisexual woman who are desperately afraid of men or any kind of relationship involving trust on her end. Prior to messaging any of these women, my account was functional for months. However, after messaging these women (which are staff members), I was banned from the website by IP address shortly after, and I had JUST subscribed in order to see if these users were actually reading my messages. This is no coincidence. This is a very common story and you can find it ALL over Reddit. It is no place for any man to meet a woman and the site seeks to get you to subscribe and flash-ban you such that you cannot cancel your subscription without difficulty. Truly dishonest business practices involved here. STAY AWAY. Preserve your emotions for something else.

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.

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 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 joined OK Stupid, as I call it, 4 separate times over the course of nearly 4 years. What happened routinely is it at first I get some responses and then zero. No matter how many times I would "boost" my profile it still will not induce a response. I finally got fed up with this site and deleted my profile. I'm done. I don't suggest you do what I did just find some other place to find women. The tramps on this site love it because they get 37 some odd responses per day from men. For men, it's just the opposite. Sometimes I could go months before I get an unsolicited response. Stay away from this one.

I think it might have been good initially when it was started by an MIT grad but there have been 1 or more acquisitions since then and it has really gone downhill.

They took away an awesome feature of being able to scroll through ppl sometime last year and replaced it with a swipe interface that allows you to only see 1 person at a time.

I met who I thought was the love of my life. Only a few things would I have changed at all. He contacted *me* first, and after giving it some thought, I decided to get us in deep. I thoroughly looked forward to getting to the point where we spent the rest of our lives together.

Then, after a while, he stopped messaging me.

I talked to someone earlier today, and he said he was probably either a middle-aged pervert who creates fake profiles, or a robot.

As a person with autism, I had never been in love before and now, for the first time, I experiencing my first genuine heartbreak. My depression has also gotten a promotion from intermittent to consistent.

After reading about the bad customer service, I'm afraid to report it.
