“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.

Free is Free. Why waste money on a paid dating service when you get what you want for free. I do not think the quality of people is better on a paid service those people are maybe just more desperate.

I was one of the polite and honest users of this site. To my my mind honesty is in short supply on OkCupid and so I was very upset to have my access to this site blocked for unspecified violation of the conditions.
Never got anything but junk mail clogging up my email so I've switched to PlentyOfFish which has far more users to message and meet up with.
In summary, a very annoying waste of time.

Compared to all the other dating sites out there - and of course compared to all the dating scams you will find - OkCupid pretty much kicks $#*!! It ain't perfect though and I know that most people will most likely find someone special on those prime dating sites like Mingle2day. But let's face the facts here: OKCupid is pretty much a cool dating site. You will find fake profile on any other site as well. After all, I am not using it anymore because as mentioned I am more than happy using some other site but I did in the past and I thought it was more than just "ok" :)

I reported the obscene and pornographic photos to customer care for 6 months. They never responded. They dont have a contact number you can only email. They dont care. I tried to write a review and the app wont let you.

In my opinion there are to many people on the site to actually find a good relationship. You get matched with to many people that hardly ever reply due to the fact that so many guys are going after the women.

It's free. I never get responses. Most of the women are not attractive. Most of us will never find love in any form we try and the electronic world is no different. But I least I don't have to pay. You get what you pay for. You see what I mean?

My picture was flagged by one of the guys, solely because i wouldn't entertain him nor talk sexually. Therefore he flagged my picture. 90% of the guys on here only want sex anyways, but when a woman turns them down they want to act like a baby. Maybe y'all should offer tutorials for assholish guys so they will actually learn how to speak to a woman.

Okcupid.com has revolutionized the world of online dating by providing a free, easy to navigate dating website that offers a service comparable to the paid sites. While the matching system has its limitations, the fact that the site is free means that it has one of the largest databases of users in the country, which is crucial in this industry and is directly related to its positioning as the leader in the online dating world.

Don't use this site if you want anything serious and be wary of weirdos. It's mostly used for sex hook ups. That's what you get for a free site. It isn't for marriage or serious relationships. Maybe some are genuine but didn't work like that for me. Most of the questions are full of kinky sex questions like what you like in bed or if you like oral and anal and threesomes etc. Most of the men on there are after hook ups and kinky sex experiences or into all of that stuff which repulses me. If you don't like it, you won't get matches!,
I had no good experience myself. I had a man act really creepy towards me and it was kinda disturbing. I stopped talking to him and a year or two later he messages me with a "long time no sea". He was pretty terrible towards my mother too. I have tried it several times and not a single date or even decent messages.
There are minimal people there who are Christians too so is not for those who are religious or have decent moral values.

They told me my account had been banned before I saw one match! My credit card(s) weren't accepted although valid. It didn't recognize my password when I added my username and password and entered correctly. It kept asking me to send a code to my phone number yet when it did, or didn't it would just boot me back to the username screen. Stay away from this site. It sucks. Sent an email asking wtf and no reply.

Quite contrary to most haters I think OKC is always worth a try. If ya don't like it move on but ya can't deny that it ain't a bad site! I also prefer Match or Mingle2day but I ain't claiming that OKC is a scam cuz it simply ain't! Period! Compare it to all the other dating sites and you will know what I 'm talking about.

Okcupid suspended me for no reason. It's a fraud. It takes your money and then terminates you but charges you for a subscription I don't want! They are just trying to charge you on your subscription and then they don't let you cancel your subscription. I had to cancel my credit card to get them to stop charging me! Fake app!

It really is free and they really do match you with people who answer questions similarly to you. There are a lot of people and the profiles are straightforward and the questions for the profile are easy to read, relate to, and are entertaining. The site matches you with potential matches. It even gives you options of others in your area to the left that you can click on. You can wind WITH A MESSAGE or message... it even gives you info on how often the member responds to notes. In addition, it has instant message capabilities... ALSO FREE. Search options are nice and so is the "Quick Match" function. There are unattractive people as with any dating site, but there are a lot of REAL attractive people as well. I think the site is about the best free dating site I have come across.

I have been a customer for years and one day I just couldn't log in. Got a message saying my account had been suspended for breaking a rule, but they won't tell me which one. I can't imagine what it could be. Wondering if someone I met turned me in for being fake out of spite. I emailed customer service and they still wouldn't give me a reason... just told me I'm no longer being charged. Ridiculous.

Anyone that will take your money and still will stop you from communicating with members is a scam. I can understand if they are stoping the none paying member from communicating to other members but if someone is paying they shouldn't prevent them just to keep they're payments coming In. This will hurt ok Cupid in a long run I found a real website it's called Truly Honest Dating... this website is real

OKcupid always delays my messages I send by 10-20 mins so that all the people im talking to get my messages 10-20 mins later. What is causing this & how can this be corrected? This is on a regular PC computer. Is there any OKCUPID people on here that can answer that as its hard to carry on a conversation when my messages are always delayed by 10-20 mins!

They take your photos and ask all kinds of personal questions just to suspend your account for no reason whatsoever, mysteriously after getting info on you. It leaves you feeling really scammed and violated. And of course this is after they have taken your credit card info. OKCupid is full of old and fake profiles, so if you are a real person you will have no place here other than to have your personal info in jeopardy. This is the worst dating site ever. They even have complaints against them in the BBB, with a grade of F! There is no customer service if you have a problem, and I can see why because there would not be enough customer service reps in the world to deal with this disaster. Don't do it! It's a scam and a rip off.

Women especially you single mom's beware, I reconnected with a guy that I went to highschool with on this website. I was very excited about it seeing I always thought he was cute. He turned out to be pretty perfect, I thought I was so lucky and almost introduced him to my 7 year old daughter. Then one day out of boredom I decided to google him, good thing I did seeing he is a registered sex offender. Lets just say it was a good thing he wasn't around when I discovered this. Be careful!

My mate doesn't even use this app and someone hacked into his accounts on social media and made multiple okcupid accounts. He is absolutely pissed off because now someone wants to complain about him on okcupid and he doesn't even use it WTF. He was called a freak for something he didn't even do and he's not happy about it.

New Ownership has destroyed any gun or function. They want to charge_49.99 month, or your matches and messages disappear each day. Don't get it confused with tinder who the $__ men copied for quick profits. At least LGBTQ PEEPS are still welcome.

Tip for consumers:
Please don't give these new owners 49.99 a month

It's coming up to the better weather and im always more optimistic about finding true love in spring time. Signed up to OkCupid and wejustfit (one because thats just what you do when you want to give internet dating a whirl, the other because id heard that it's pretty rad). So far im feeling stoked I went for two sites instead of 1 as im definitely getting attention which I was worried I wouldnt. Ive had one date (via WJF) and it went ok but wasnt exactly fireworks. Got two more potentials lined up and still lots of cuties to try to talk to. Again using two sites gives you not just variety but a long number of options. Sure some wont get back to me but both sites seem to have new faces popping up quite a lot so ive got my fingers crossed that these two sites will be the golden combo and cupids arrow (cheesy I know) is already pointing in my direction! Thinking positive!
