“Great dating site to find serious love partner”

This is a great dating site to find serious love partner. Most profiles are real people. Dated several there and married one too.

Top Critical Review

“People don't respond”

People don't respond much on here and they want more money to have you profile shown more often when others are searching. I pause 59 for the subscription what a waist of money never again

This app is trash! There's no Black women on this dating app. It's like they completely left Black women out and only focused on white women. They truly need to do a better job of marketing and reaching out to women of color. Hands down the worst dating app ever. Down below, I added a screenshot of a user's profile stating that she does not support Black Lives Matter. Now how in the hell am I supposed to feel safe on this app?

Tip for consumers:
It would have been helpful to know that this app lacks culture and only focuses on white people. WHERE ARE THE BLACK QUEENS?!?!?

DO NOT purchase! The ladies are either from Kenya, the Philippines, or Thailand and are bot accounts! If there is someone from your area (1 or 2 out of 100) they do not respond! Btw, I would rate it as a zero if I could!

To start with, Match is very expensive when you pay for all the features you need to use it comfortably. Secondly, it's pointless site. I received 5 letters in 2 months, in the meanwhile I get 100 letters per month on EasyFling4You
I wonder how many real women there are on OkCupid. Don't pay attention to the reports they send you telling you about the women who are your potential matches, most of them are either absolutely fake or outdated or in relationship with other members. For some reason nearly all messages I sent on OkCupid were ignored. What is the point of such kind of search? It's pointless site.
Also OkCupid is very expensive when you pay for all the features you need to use it comfortably.

This website is full of fake profiles from US and abroad. As soon as you join, you'll get tons of likes and messages from fake users to lure into taking membership. I wouldn't even spend 5 bucks for this crappy dating website.

Site is loaded with out of date or profiles. You will be bombarded by nonsense fron Kenya. I asked for a refund. The FCC should shut this down. It seems like a total fraud.

I'd like to leave a more in-depth review, discussing the sites features, the quality of matches, the variety, how it works to verify profiles and keep away bots, catfishers etc. But I can't. I made a perfectly OK profile, nothing explicit or rude, no swears, slurs or anything vulgar or otherwise problematic. Once I finished my profile, I was promptly signed out.

I tried signing back in only to find out my newly made profile, as well as my phone number were banned.

I tried appealing the ban through customer service. They took days to get back to me, and weeks to let me know that they will not be unbanning me. Didn't tell me what rules I violated either.

With how long my profile was up there wasn't even an option someone could have reported me, so I assumed it was some glitch, which they refused to correct, and refused to elaborate on why they didn't.

Complete garbage. Wouldn't leave any stars if that was a possibility. Just use Plenty of Fish.

Ok cupid is like Woodstock 99. It promises a good time but what it becomes is a crowd driven by sexual violence. If you leave the crowd online to meet a stranger you risk sexual coercion or worse.

Tip for consumers:
Scams credit cards to charge more than you signed up for

Most profiles are fake. Price is way too expensive to look at fake profiles. Stick to Tinder or Bumble. You can actually meet and talk to people on Tinder and Bumble. OK Cupid in Mexico or USA is simply waste of money and time 100 percent scam

Tip for consumers:
Cost $74 Australian dollars a month to look at fake profiles

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!

Tip for consumers:
Terrible app that has gone down hill.

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.

Tip for consumers:
I don't think there is a refund policy. It's buy it and use it or lose it.

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.

Tip for consumers:
Please know that this is a dead site. It is no longer being used by real people or real daters. It is completely filled with scam and fake profiles. The only real people are new unsuspecting users and that is it. Beware, never give money or pay money to this site or any match group site.

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.

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.

Be careful, even if you sign up for only 1 month, they will continue to charge you unless you cancel. I recommend you cancel right away if you DO join. You still get to keep your membership for the remainder of the month, it just won't charge you when it's over. The paid version also isn't that great. You're better off just messaging random people than waiting to see who likes you. Messaging is free.

Tip for consumers:
Don't trust them. They will take your money without you knowing and ignore your emails.

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.

Tip for consumers:
Lopsided app. Too much riff raff. Needs a full makeover. Empty promises of love. Avoid!

Don't waste your money like I did purchasing OkCupid what a joke unless you're looking for a mail order bride as the stacks of profiles they provide you with, and I had my options wide open, yeah my stacks still became empty after 20 maybe 30 profiles and I was left with only the foreign stack available, yeah Green Card girls. It's as if they have no local customers to show you but I'm sure there's millions of lonely lives that fell for their lies.

This went from being the best dating app (2016) to the absolute worst, you can't message, you can't answer specific grouped questions, Christ you can't even "like" more than ten people a day now! They approve accounts that are clearly someone using American Instagram pictures but claiming to be British because African & Russian scammers don't know the difference! It's basically a pile of crap. And then you want £50 a month... seriously?!... Wt* is wrong with you folks!

Don't spend your money on okcupid! Stay away!
That dating company do not have a system in place to verified members! It is full of scammers and fake profiles! Okcupid won't give me my money back!

Tip for consumers:
I did find a few real people, but most of the time it is a waste of time communicating with scammers trying to get to talk to get your infos!
Okcupid should get a class action law suit!
