“Great website!”

JONATHAN J.
1/2/13

Great website! Cool approach to the online dating world. Mostly clean well managed, Free! There are obviously things that could be improved, like server speed or conversation approaching style option expansion, but again it's free.

Top Critical Review

“Low grade, no preferences, quantity over quality with few good options”

Ghostwriter t.
10/4/24

I came onto this site twice, each time paid the monthly fee and each time my preferences were totally ignored. I am specific about what I want so that I do not have to go through 100's of men's profiles to weed out the men who smoke or want children. I find this website did absolutely nothing for me. They say no particular pictures are allowed to be posted yet they are constantly posted and low quality people are here to choose from because no one is checking the sites for quality assurance. This is the worst site as far as low level for the price, is should always be free if the site isn't doing what it claims its doing for you.

This site will gladly accept your upgrade to "A-List" and then without notification, warning or explanation delete your account and block. Even for anyone who deserves to be deleted (not scammers) but someone who perhaps violated their TOS they should at the very least notify that person if theyre going to charge their credit card. They have no phone number. They ignore emails. I had to file a dispute with my bank to get my money back. No thanks.

This sight is a waste! I had one guy message me last Thursday and he seemed very nice and told me how beautiful I was. We decided to meet on Saturday for drinks. He seemed to come on strong and I started to feel uncomfortable. By Monday he was texting me he loved me! When I told him there was no way he could feel that way so soon he proceeded to tell me he wanted to gag me with his c**k and piss down my throat! Disgusting CREEP!

Used to be a premium dating service, advertised as 100% free. There is NO option to search for a potential mate. THEY will tell you who THEY have selected for you! I did not realize that we have become some third world country, like China or India! You can't view the pictures of members who have viewed your profile, without "upgrading" (they want your money). They have a dual standard when uploading photos, apperently women can post anything, including photos of kids and grandchildren with exposed faces. (Pedophiles love that!)

Tip for consumers:
Look someplace else!

I used to use this site down south and it was much better. I dont know if its not as effective for me for setting up dates because its generally worse overall or because I moved to Glasgow. I've started using wejustfit after I read an article about a couple that met on that site and its a case of so far, so good. Even if it doesn't end up my long term choice, it proves that theres no point in being loyal to OkCupid forever and thinking that nothing is better just because they spend lots on advertising. It always pays to stay on the ball. You wouldnt keep paying for your broadband service if it wasn't working for weeks at a time now would you?

Yeah as other men have stated, Unless you are 6 foot 4 + and rake in 300k + a year you will not fare to well with this. I rate about a 7/10 looks wise but apparently still not good enough for "average" looking American women which to whom I should say that being skinny does not automatically make you attractive! It's comical.
Anyway, Are you serious in finding a partner? Have a little extra money? Then look for a Russian woman, They are 10X more attractive than western women and they are actually interested in you. I've already been talking to a easy 10/10 woman from Moscow and plan to meet her soon. Ditch this site and give up on American women, They will never be satisfied. Cheers!

Main plus point with OkCupid is youre not being constantly asked for a one night stand people here seem to get that this isnt a cheap, NSA site, which is definitely nice. The only other site that I've found that keeps things clean and still fun is wejustfit.com. Another thing about OkCupid is the choice of numbers on the site it's super busy. I'd like to see better features but their offline meet ups are a step in the right direction, they just need to do more new things like that.

Tried a few days ago for the first time. Found the questions Interesting - its a way of gettting to know someone. BUT there seem to be major problems with logging in to you account. The password retrieval system mostly does not work, and then all the work you've put into you page is wasted. Having looked at several other sites recently I suspect that many of the profiles are run by site computer. One paying site I tried I had about15 hits in the first couple of hours - and I am no Adonis. So how many of those women exist only in the computer?. The DTI needs to check this industry out - there appears to be a real possibility of some of these sites being scams.

Yes I fell for the his bull$#*! and got scammed for over $3000. He travels between North Carolina Los Angeles and Istanbul. Reels you in and will meet you if you live in any of these locations. Comes up with sad stories to borrow money as he waits for the Big payment. Each time I never got paid back and eventually had to walk away. Real name is Gregory Scott Pettis. He is a black man age 32 and 6"8. Ladies beware on POF and Ok Cupid.

He came to visit me in South Africa got engaged and started applying for a visa for me. I'm married to him now and staying in the states. We are really happy and starting a family. I recommend the site you will find the right one for you.

Thank you okcupid

Guys don't be stupid. I have a wonderful dating site that is sure to deliver at least 90% of the
Time. It's call Back Page. Caum The women are mostly single mothers, young college girls looking for financial arrangements to keep them in school or off of the street. Best part about it is you don't have to pay a ripoff site any fee. It's free to browse all day. Real new girls come on the site daily. Stop wasting your time and money on dating sites. One sure date with these back page girls will cost less than paying these ripoff dating sites and a date with an old ugly lady who is desperate for a pay check.

If you are a normal straight or gay person then this app is not for you, most of the people who use this app are fairytale genders and ok cupid encourages it as well, so yeah that's all that needs to be said really. Like many other apps before it, it used to be good but once everything started getting woke and lame well so did this app, it encourages make-believe genders and poly which is disgusting.

So to end if you are a normal straight or gay person then you will not find anything on this app for you, although if you have a mental illness then this app is perfect for you.

Tip for consumers:
Do not use unless you're either a cuck or someone that wears glasses with blue hair since that is all you will find here.

My account was banned for no reason. I hadn't even communicated with a match yet! My photos were entirely appropriate - simple headshots. The only thing out of the ordinary was that I could not get a transaction for a one-month only subscription to process and emailed a polite inquiry to customer service about it. Apparently, the mere act of complaining about the website not working was enough to be banned from OkCupid. Be warned, you can spend hours answering 500 questions to help OkCupid's matching formula and they'll ban you for no reason whatsoever. All your matches churned to dust. All your hard work in building a profile wiped out without recourse.

Tip for consumers:
Worst experience ever with a dating site. Even Tinder was better than OkCupid

About 51/2 years ago I was in to the process of getting divorce and I was not going to be in to a relationship any time soon. But little did I know, my friend sign me in to okcupid and I started to look at people and ask question here and there and here I am 5 years later with the most awesome husband I could've ask for and most of all we were bless with two little ones! Fairy tale do happen if you give yourself a chance to let it happen! I could not be more happy with this website and would definitely recommand it to any single person out there!

I met a guy in May and we started a relationship. Atleast we said it was. He uses his daughter as and excuse not to spend time together so he can dates multiple women. He disappeared alot. Clams he doesn't get your calls or text until the weekend is over. I'm not sure why he acts this way because he looks like a little troll. His name is Jesse Garrett and lives in Terrell tx.

This website has no way to verify if person's picture is real. There are many options of software that verifies images uploaded with actual user's face. I reported several times fake profile, but Okcupid did not close that account. No reaction from this company. I actually found real person on Facebook whose pictures and name was stolen to create fake Okcupid account. That person also contacted Okcupid and demended to remove this profile. Still nothing was done. Its creepy and dangerous. Be aware single ladies and gentlemen!

I haven't chosen anyone from there yet. However, I think it's the best app I've ever seen, because I'm able to write endless description about myself to make sure only the relevant ones will send me a msg haha :) also happy to have a match percentage there and actually I go through this often before I reply to anyone

Online dating is no big deal for me. I don't think it makes you a loser. Two of my friends are in happy relationships with people they met online through OKCupid. However, I'm sort of a hipster when it comes to these things and this was definitely not the place to find smart, quirky girls that like indie rock and reading books. I stopped using the site when it started glitching on me and I couldn't log in. No big deal loss to me though.

I've been trying out online dating on and off for a few years now and used several sites including Match, POF and Zoosk. I find OKC has the best matching system and overally design for ease-of-use. The site is free to join and send messages. But you can subscribe to additional services e.g. invisible browsing, for £20 a month free, which i thought was pretty reasonable.
In terms of users, the site is filled with the usual insecure, bitter men who flip when you don't respond to their messages within the hour. In particular watch out for the user voxoid1313 who is eternally 36 and single. When in actual fact he is 43 and has a girlfriend and son who he fails to mention on his profile. He is also unemployed and not exactly a musician... rather he plays the same old songs to the elderly at nursing homes. He will draw you in with his web of lies and then spit you out. So just keep your eyes and ears open and date safe!

I like that this site asks you questions and while it suggests who is a close match you can see the answer the other person gave and come to your own conclusion.
I didnt want a site that allowed a computer to solely pick my match. As with any dating site you will have "a few" issues but This was by the far the best site for value and accuracy that I have found.

Unless you subscribe, you can't see who has liked you. For $19.95 for one month, you can see this but can't read any messages that have been sent you. For that you'll need to pay $25 for one month. Be careful if you do this, I tried and got signed up for 3 months. To see a profile, $3. Luckily I made an error on credit card info and escaped the $25.

OKCUPID is a free dating site: Everything you need (email, chat, search,...) is free. It follows a freemium model where you can pay if you want some non-essential extra features (e.g., visiting profiles without being listed as visitor and fine-grained search).

There are more people on the site than on many other sites and the people usually respond to emails (I'd say I get responses to 50% of my emails while at plentyoffish this rate is more like 5%)

Overall, my favourite and totally free dating site.

I am so happy I went on OKCupid. After a couple of dates, I found the most amazing man. We are going on 5 months now and I have never been happier! He is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I have never been treated so right. If I would have never gone on OKCupid, I would have missed out on this incredible man. Maybe it's not the first date you find love, but just be patient there are wonderful and loving people out there waiting for you. Thank you, thank you, thank you OKCupid! My heart is so full of love thanks to you.

At best this site is very suspect. They make it very hard to use the free version. When you try to see who "likes" you, you are redirected to purchase premium. When I tried to unsubscribe, they made me answer a bunch of questions & then was asked to enter my password. When I tried to enter my password, it would not let me...
