I had the okcupid account for a while and always got bullying message from crazy people. So yesterday when I got another bullying message from a stranger who got infuriated after he read my profile and noticed that he might not be someone that I'm looking for, I decided to take a screenshot of what he wrote me and I posted what he wrote on my profile picture and I reported that to okcupid. But instead okcupid tried to protect me as a victim, they right away deleted my account. I wrote them at least three emails with this incident and also attached the screenshot of this crazy stranger's nasty message but they did not reply at all and just ignored me. Okcupid is letting those bullies barking like rabid dogs on other innocent users and let them run free while blocking the innocent ones. If anyone who want to sue this website, I'll be joining!
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.
As the name of this site suggests, it is OK. After having to browse through many photos and profiles of girls, I finally stumble upon one that I like, but most of the girls are too selective---they don't even bother to respond or sometime even check out my profile, although a few have been nice.
I was a member on this site for 2 weeks before I was locked out of my account. I have written to customer service repeatedly with absolutely no reply. They have no phone contact info. Now my info is floating out there somewhere and I can't access it or delete it. I've read numerous complaints of the same kind and have come to the conclusion that OKCupid is bad news.
Found a lot of cool people on this site, the features weren't like other sites where you had to pay for everything
I was on Match and Our Time, both of which require that you pay to send/respond to messages etc. I met total losers on both sites... illegal immigrants, homeless guys living in beat up old cars that are duct-taped together, no job, no other source of income, filthy clothes, terrible personal hygiene, greasy matted hair, looking like they haven't brushed their teeth in 6 months (some don't have any teeth at all), dirt under their fingernails, endless sob stories, asking to pay bills, asking for money. I'm not paying for any more dating sites.
So, I checked out OKCupid because it's free, and guess what... a lot of the guys on this site are the same ones that are on Match and Our Time. I signed up anyway (hey, it's free), then deleted my account within a few hours. My profile says I'm looking for a serious relationship, and I get tons of messages from guys looking only for sex and they want to hook-up with me in 30 minutes... without even getting to know me? Do they even read your profile to see what you're looking for? If my profile said I was looking to hook-up, I could understand it... but why am I getting requests for quickie sex sessions when I'm looking for a serious relationship?
Is it too much to ask that somebody take a shower before a date and put on clean clothes?
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.
I am over the age of 50 and I have been on this site for 6 years. I have met and dated several decent men. I have not met anyone I want to marry because I am not there yet. I recommend it for anyone getting back in the dating scene. I carefully screen the users. Beware that there are some romance scammers. The site has a great moderating feature. You can block and report anyone that you don't want to engage in conversation on IM. I am also a moderator on the site. It is a pretty liberal site so you will find anything and everything based on the line of questions. The best thing about OKCupid is that it is absolutely free! No scams or tricks.
Enjoy!
Lets you do things for free that cost a lot of money on Eharmony and Match. Some of the girls are a bit snobby, but others are really down to earth. Have not had a date from here, but that's my fault, not the site.
What can you say about a free dating site?! Okcupid is ok for the price! Ive had a few dates from it. The guys have been ok. Nothing to write home about but still i had fun. The site is definitely a time waster like facebook. But boy shopping is fun. Try it out girls. Why not?
I am a little surprised by some of the more negative reviews below - ultimately okcupid is a free site with good interaction and you can get out what you put in. Upload some photos, give a description, send some asks, and actually get some real responses from people who probably would not be paying to be listed otherwise. Double that praise given dating sites in general sre expensive and full of frauds - the number of sites which have 10 stunners an hour apparently wink at you only to direct you to a cam site asking for your credit card. And if you want to pay for the match or eharmony experience fine but don't moan about okcupid just because you cannot see a skip button or if you cannot evaluate people's profiles for yourself.
Great site. Why pay for a dating site that try to rip you off when this one is free and genuine. I have in the past taken a 3 day day trial offer on a pay site and ended up paying £200 before I could cancel my membership. What is more I didnt get a single response from any woman member.
When I used OKC, i'd met a lot of guys. Their matching system was usually pretty spot-on, with the exeption of a couple of people. I had their åaid service, and I felt it was well wroth the $5/month. I got to browse profiles without being seen, which was nice, and having no ads is always great.
Great site! Better than the ones you have to pay for. Found my guy and am very happy. I recommend this site to everyone!
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.
A few bad apples like every dating site, but still, there are real women on here and im still friends with the ones i met to this day. Good friends, great sex, and its free? Hell yea this is "cool"
Come on... thirtysome "cyber-bullies"? After red flagging a few of these, I got no response from okcupid "customer service" website to check what if anything was done. I tried to reach them by phone... but the have an "answering service" that sounds more like a fax machine. I repeatedly tried to get a live person to respond to my complaints... which are supposed to be in tune with their "conduct policy" but never got an answer. I am beginning to think ALL these "dating sites" are run by a bunch of Sleaze Balls...
Okay site layout/design. Not a single response... Makes me wonder if the site is "real" or just an information gathering melting pot for others to try and make a buck.
OKC pretends to cater to diversity, but it fails.
The questions they ask are often easy for some users to interpret differently based on their beliefs regarding the subject(i. E. monogamists and swingers may give the same answer to a question about cheating when they really mean two very different things), making match scores inaccurate. To make matters worse, they ask open-ended questions as multiple choice, and ask many that are nearly identical to others. One of my top matches is actually an ex who I now know is one of the least compatible people I've ever met.
They also bias their search results by pairing popular people with other popular people, and keeping many of them out of the results for the unpopular, as if this is high school again. They've actually sent out mass e-mails to the popular members announcing this. The popular members don't need any help meeting each other. Us plain people are who dating sites are supposed to be catering to.
They don't have any filters nor indications of transgender status, other than a few questions thrown in with the personality questionnaire(which only affects your score, and doesn't filter your results like gay/bi/straight and male/female do). I hate not knowing whether or not the member would be attracted to me or want to kill me(or even worse, both) until I actually talk to them; it's a very volatile issue, more-so than homosexuality which they do choose to accommodate. I've been harassed numerous times because some people get angry when a transgender person appears in their search results.
It may be free and easy to use, but I have yet to meet a single person worth meeting in person because of these practices. I'm sure it's a great experience for gender-conforming monogamist prom-queens, but if you're not already at a social advantage, it's difficult to accomplish anything.
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.
