I rarely pay for dating sites, but because I had so many "likes", I thought I would take a chance. I paid for the one month package. Worst mistake giving those crooks my hard earned money! I had 54 "likes", and only 1 was from the U.S.! I'd rather stay single, than pay for another dating site.

BE CAREFUL WOMEN ARE BEING ROBBED AND…
BE CAREFUL WOMEN ARE BEING ROBBED AND RAPED THERE ARE CRIMINAL CONS, THIEVES AND RAPISTS IN THIS HORRIBLE DATING SITE.
Hello everyone! Please be aware of this OkCupid app. They are full of scammers and will only take your money. Thanks to my stars I was able to recover my funds back from them, they have stolen from me altogether over 60,000 USD from my bitcoin wallet after I agreed to an investment and bitcoin mining for profit. Later, they won't return my messages and calls. I had to follow through with a recommendation from a close friend of mine about Datrek Recovery that was of great assistance to get my money back from these online fraudsters.
Met someone on here who turned out to be a "NarcoPath" (both a narcissist and a psychopath) ended up meeting him in person and although it seemed we had a huge amount in common by the interests and questionnaire and through online chatting, I believe that it is too easy to lie/make things up and I have been in a violent abusive relationship ever since. Please be careful with online dating(or online friends as I was friends with him 4 years before meeting him), they need to do background checks on the people before allowing them onto the website. I think it would have made a major difference if I had known he had a DUI criminal record (substance abuse issue)(they should let you click something that removes all offenders). This person has literally made my life into a living hell including helped me be sex trafficked and date raped by another man and through his substance abuse issues and friends circle. I also think natal chart reading is a must and online dating should do astrology compatibility. He is a Aries Sun Sign Gemini Moon Sign and I am a Gemini/Taurus Cusp Sun Sign and a Cancer Moon sign. After research these signs are volatile Aries does not get along with Cancer(He belittles and breaks me as a fire sign and as I have a water sign I am literally boiled to death), this was a mistake that I live in regret of everyday for 6 years while he took everything from my family and refused to work or get off the streets or move out. The psychological abuse is not even of this world. I need strength and help to leave, he is literally a sadist.
I met my ex on okc almost 10 years ago and despite not working out in the end I'd say we had a really good run, leaving me with some cherished memories. It was the only dating site I had any real luck with, the questions, personality tests and forum kept me engaged and I had a decent number of dates prior to settling down with the last one. When I found myself single I signed back up to have another go and boy was I disappointed. The questions are still there but the personality tests and forum are gone, the match percentages make little sense, showing a high percentage even for people that have multiple dela breakers. Most of the women have answered only a handful of questions, not nearly enough to tell if they're a good match. You can't even search anymore by characteristics such as whether they have/want kids, smoke, etc, it's just another worthless swipe based Tinder clone. Not only that, they have a confusing system where you have to mutually "like" someone before they will receive the message you sent, and loads of people say in their profile "can't see likes" which of course means they don't understand how the system works and they will never get your messages. It's such a shame, it seems that Match Group has bought up all of the competition and got right to work running them into the ground.
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.
5 years ago, the sweetest soul messaged me through Okcupid and we have been together ever since. Okcupid is the only dating app where I was able to meet people who didn't want to just hook up. I was able to find someone genuine who actually wanted a relationship and we never would have met without the app. I would give this app 1000 stars if I could.
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!
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.
OKCupid has turned from a gem to a tu#d. It's not what it used to be several years ago. They took to misleading their customers. They are just pushing packages. Nothing is done to prevent scam so OkCupid accommodates multiple scammers and fakes. Anyway, I left it. It's not worth a cent because their women are not real. I recommend staying away from OkCupid. Basic membership gives you nothing. You have to pay for everything. But when you start paying you find out that all your likes and messages are entirely from scammers.
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.
Fraud people directly saying all females here are behaving like prostitutes worst worst worst easy way to earn money from females
Hello Everyone,
One of the most manipulative website and app is Okcupid. Here is the reason why. I signed up and made sure the only people that can see my profile are in the 50 miles radios. In less than one day I got more than 150 likes and guess what I couldn't believe it. But I figured to give it a try. I upgraded, and the next thing I noticed is most of the likes i got were from far away countries. They were all fake profiles from India, Nigeria, Mexico and the list goes on. Well now you know, they will trick you to upgrade by making fake profiles from other countries to like you. Shame on you!
I've been on okcupid for 3 months, and went on dates with 7 different men in the first month, but now my likes and messages all dried up. All of the men are liars, either about appearance, age, or intention. 3 were 5'2'' and lied about their height, adding 3 inches. One was more overweight and had a lot of acne, but was a decent guy. One tried to convince me to want children when I explicitly said I don't want kids; he liked single moms, so why didn't he just stick to the maternal types? 2 were older than their profile and had white hair for their "thirty" years of age. One started groping me and claimed he was giving me a message; he tried to get me to drink alcohol even though I don't drink. One showed up 1 hour late and never talked to me again.
Almost every single woman I have been in contact with is a scammer looking for money. Regardless of whether I contact them first or vice versa, they ultimately are a scam. Hint: They immediately want to chat via phone or e-mail, and their site disappears once you are in contact. Grammar mistakes in the profile are common, similar to mistakes made by eastern European people. (Russian?). In two cases, they had the same e-mail handle with a different number. Numbers nearing 100? Means they are operating nearly 100 scams at a time, just through that handle. It's not that it isn't obvious that it's a scam, it's just tedious.
It's just been an utter waste of time, and to be honest, I don't trust the platform to make any investment in key features. So many obviously fake profiles and random one word messages to keep me engaged, pretty poor experience overall...
Okcupid used to be "Ok" before it changed its ways. It used to be that people could send anyone a message and they could send one back free of charge. It used to feature ads as their bread and butter. I guess back then it was a "startup" that used the "free" status as a come-on and then decided to slap a $15 monthly fee just to do what you used to do for free, which was freely message potential dates and see who actually "liked" you. Now, it's full of fake profiles and gold-digging scammers and forget about ever getting in touch with any potential matches, it's behind an exorbitant paywall with not guarantee that you'll get a mutual match. Oh, and you had better hold your tongue about your "preferences". If you prefer not to date single parents and mention this just to save yourself and other people time and just manage expectations, better not let the fascist "woke" admins hear - you'll immediately get the banhammer. It's ok to be trans, pansexual, trisexual, bisexual, asexual, demisexual or whatever - just never say what type of person you prefer NOT to date - that's just being "not inclusive" and therefore "evil" in their minds.
I am updating my review and downgrade to one star because I have now conclusively ascertained that the site uses robot accounts. (Females reappearing and matching back to you periodically). Beware then! The rest of my review below is still valid.
You get unlimited likes per day and unlimited communication with your matches. The user base is not great everywhere, so it might not work for you at all. In case of a limited (exhausted:-)) local user base, the app will propose to you prospects internationally. A feature that some will hate, others will love. Also, in Europe at least, the site is full of eastern European members claiming to reside elsewhere. I would not call those profiles fake per se, deceiving upon first impression perhaps.
Answer: It's good only if you absolutely feel the need to burn your money and time! Seriously speaking, don't repeat my mistake! I had wasted plenty of time and emotions there trying to find a gem among rubbish. Just go to a decent and efficient site with good reputation and you will have plenty of choice there as long as you are a normal and adequate person. I'm using https://j4l.com/402007 And I'm content with it. I found several ladies that I really like, I had meetings with them and now its the time to choose for me!
Answer: OLC is so so... Most of the woman are in dream land and seeking Mr USA. And are not going to meet you in person 95% of the time... You really need to weed out the B. S & players... And that is simple to do... If they can't meet you in person in public with in one week. Drop them... Don't waste your time... Next!
Answer: Terri - this is what I recently sent in about OKC. I will answer your specific questions at the end of this. I have heard many complaints about OKC and scammers. But I AM NOT HAVING ANYWHERE NEAR THE PROBLEMS THAT OTHERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT. I am on several sites, and I experience about the same % of scammers on all. 1) it is so easy to spot a scanner - he wants to use email or text/phone right away. Is this really a problem? I immediately block. 2) if he is in Africa or any other 3rd world nation, I immediately block. I filter my messages so that I do not receive messages from anyone who has answered less than 100 questions or is at least an 85% match. Scammers are so obvious. Also, I note that most scammers claim to be "god-fearing christians," or "looking for an LTR or marriage." I am an atheist and very liberal and state this in my profile and my questions. I know what I am about to say is very offputting, snobbish, elite, etc., but I don't think scammers hit atheist, well-educated, and skeptical people as much as they do others (christians). Sorry, but I did say you wouldn't like that. Scammers are on every site. I have been following the sites and the complaints about scammers. My conclusion, based on my experience, blogs, and LOTS of research, indicate that every site has about the same amount of scammers. Sites that provide almost 0% info on potential matches (Zoosk, POF, tagged, Chemistry, Match, ourtime, etc. - all worthless for matching, IMO) do NOT have fewer scammer than OKC. I am also a moderator on OKC. WORD: Do a GIS on every picture on every profile on every site. It will tell you if the pics were stolen from a commercial source (models, actors, etc.) or not. I have had a ton (sometimes 3/week) of dates from OKC, and I do not believe any of these guys were scammers. Finally, if you know how to spot a scammer, what difference does it make how many there are on any site? I am 59. Yes, I have many very young men contacting me. I just say "You are too young, but thank you for your interest." If they reply, I block. As I stated, I've met tons of great guys (and of course, creeps) and had a lot of dates. I have a lot of correspondence before the date, and make it clear that I am looking for LTR and NOT FWB, NSA (what a load of crap). I have not clicked with anyone yet; but the, I am an atheist, free-thinker, liberal in Texas. Not a lot of guys hit on me (after 18 months on OKC, I only get about 8 guys/week hitting on me. Check my profile: I'm not gorgeous (LIB75002) or email me: joannar75002@gmail.com). I will be happy to help you further, if requested.
Answer: If you use care and caution it's safe. Women are subjected to more weirdos but you can block them. Spammers are going to get through and they will usually ask for your email or phone number. If someone interests you message a lot before you meet and always meet in a public place. If someone insists on more than you're comfortable with move on.
Answer: You have to understand on clear thing: THIS SITE IS A 2 IN 1 DEAL. People are vetted based upon: 1) their overall attractiveness + 2) their ability to PULL IN MORE USERS I have found an UNDERGROUND OKC and have made some friends in that with my last account, but then admin began asking me strange questions about my experiences there that sounded alot less like SITE PATROLLING and a lot more like I WAS FOUND OUT AS A NON INSIDER among that group. I have a running list of accounts that are "sponsored" by the site. I was among the very first to report that okc was OWNED BY MATCH.COM to be used as its social outlet site. HOWEVER AS OF 2 DAYS AGO A MUCH BIGGER ANNOUNCEMENT WAS MADE: Match.com BOUGHT POF /Plenty of Fish and has bought into /partnered with TINDER. By years end ALSO be on lookout for Ashley Madison to be brought into the fold. WHY ALL THIS: to cut radically the price of the investment & upkeep of all those lab created profiles. BY overlapping data bases and also ADMIN STAFF... The operating costs should have al least a 40% reduction which means 40% more profit. Just so you know Toni, look up Passionate Composer. I will write you back. REAL PEOPLE DO THIS. You may like the profile too. I was among the first to take advantage of the social site move.
Answer: Yes, I have had this happen a lot. People just want your phone number because they don't want to use the site. Then they want to ask questions like where you are from. I guess so they can research you. I am real leery about giving out my email and phone numbers. All kinds of scammers out there.
Answer: Yes, it is completely free... You pay for the more advanced features, but over the last ten years or so, I have met my last 6 lovers through the site ( though oftentimes it turns out that we already knew the same people... The matching algorithms are simply_that_ *good*!) and have never given them a single penny. ( though honestly, I really should, if only out of gratitude!) Give it a try, it really is head and shoulders above the rest of the sites out there...!
Answer: Not really, before Okcupid went full on liberal wasteland they used to release their numbers/stats and it was never bad to begin with. I believe it was like 60/40 depending on how you set up your searches. In my state it was close to 50/50.
