OkCupidReviews 646

Within a week of using I had almost 400 likes, but was confused as to where all these guys were at because the same list of people kept popping up on my matches over and over even after swiping left on them. So what's the point of disliking someone only to have them reappear multiple times? When you've disliked the same string of people 4 times, that's a problem.

I hate that I didn't know who messages me until I kept going through random profiles to see on their photo "This person messaged you". I can either dislike them or go to their profile to see what they said. But this also means I could miss someone if they get lost in the shuffle.

I kept getting matched with guys that were only there for hookups/sex when I clearly marked I was interested in relationships. Matches that were super religious, though I marked atheism was very important to me. And matches that were outside my checked age range. If I check my range as 30-50 I'm not expecting 26 year old dudes to pop up in my matches!

They had plenty of profiles that weren't filled out, didn't have a photo of themselves, or profiles that seemed straight up fake. You are going to get that on every site. But my issue was trying to see when people last logged in, I mean, maybe I didn't care to browse enough but how do I know if profiles are even active any longer? I don't want to waste my time if someone hasn't logged in for months or years.

The last straw for me, which made me delete it was the guy that messaged me after we both liked each other saying "Did you look at my profile?" When I checked I see he is only on there to find women for oral s*x. Again, this is a poorly matching system. Ugh!

So, the fact was that I tried out loads of dating websites last four years and OK Cupid was one of such, it's usability was 'A' okay (user friendly) but my complain is that based on it's history on the list of top dating site, OKCupid had the potential to be the best of the best, it's progressive progression is so slow to the point that it's less to be desired after using the platform for a long period of time. But on a scale of 1 - 10 I'll still rate OKCupid a hard 6.

This is the worst dating site I've ever been on and it's so so overrated that I'm pretty sure people who write positive five star reviews were paid by the company themselves. As soon as you sign up, your account will often be automatically suspended as they "review" it, however, if you don't contact them about it, they'll never restore it. And even if you do, they probably won't restore it either. Even if it's been restored, you're going to be suspended again, again, and again, for literally no reason. This is an exclusive site for a circle of special people that the moderators personally approve of. If they don't like you, you simply will be rejected, for whatever reason they think of (you'll never know the reason, since there is none actually). They ask a lot of questions, and if they don't like your answers or personal opinion on things, again, you'll get suspended. It will be disguised as "violation of the terms of service". Don't bother using this site, the staff won't help you. It's utterly useless. That's the "democracy" and "equality" they're so proud of promoting.

I have used OKCupid for a few years. It progressively gets worse, but at this point I do not know how it could get worse, but it probably will. The site sends me messages that someone messaged me. But does not tell me who. And there are no messages in my Inbox. At least half of the profiles are women who have answered exactly 15 questions, are young, attractive, have one picture, and are completely fake or in Indonesia,,,, I guess the competition is just too great, and this site failed to evolve

First having to pay and this is with all online dating site. I believe we should paid when we get a date or at least a trial. Now on to this site the interface suck and some profile are fake but the worst is the people you meet on here they don't read profile and many women give one word answers. I am currently dating someone from there and it not how I imagined let just say she is not ready to date. I would get into the story but it making my head out thinking about it.

It is designed to keep you just interested, but not to find you a relationship. I guess if it did, they will lose business. In terms of this, this site (as well as most dating sites) is a scam.
1. Your message is not directly delivered. Your message is only visible to the receiver if they "like" you. I do not understand why any person would write a proper introduction to someone or more than a few words because the chances of your message being read is nearly non-existent.
2. The matching process is superficial. You're basically matched by the pictures and a small introduction, assuming there's mutual "liking" of these two criteria. As mentioned above (no. 1), there's no mutual selection happening based on a conversation. Looks do matter, but when there's profile after profile to choose from, the selection process becomes too superficial.
3. They do not show all available profiles in your area, so good luck if you live in a small town. Every time I refresh the browsing page, the same few people shows up. As I've found out, you must "pass / unlike" them in order to have a new person shown to you. Algorithms are against users in this case.
4. Difficult to find people based on interests because they only allow their own keywords under the search options.

Overall, I found Okcupid to be a huge waste of time, a platform designed to defeat the purpose it's meant to do from a customers' point of view.

People wouldn't be on OKCupid if they weren't looking for friends.

It is both rude and disrespectful for that website to hire people to pose as potential friends just to get members on that website to shell out their money for memberships.

This website is in effect mocking people and then ripping them off just to line their own pockets. What I felt as disappointment has turned to anger.

OKCupid is just a scam.

Well I got a lot of likes from girls but no way to see who are they, you have to pay for that. But Someone like me back and they send me notification "See picture, I cover her face" and they ask me to start and say something nice to her, but when I click to her profile who like me back but they say the person doesn't exist "She was so pretty too :(" and eventually ask me pay for boost my profile so I am not sure, I feel like its just for try to make me pay Monthly payment because why the profile doesn't exist if she like me back a minute before?! Anyway beside that nothing really happening. I have send many message to many girls who has about 80 to 96% match but I never got response.

Have used ok cupid on and off for a number of years. But have noticed a rapid decline in it's usable, free functions that were available on the site. For example, you can longer see users that viewed your profile. The messaging functions are now very limited. To name but a few of the functions that were available for free. Due to this reason, could possibly mean a decline in the amount of people now using the site? There also seem to be a lot more fake profiles and likes etc. Which may be a way of getting you to sign up to it's paid functions? As you can only see your likes if you sign up to it's paid services. These are just a few of my gripes with ok cupid, which is a real shame as it used be a great dating website. But won't bother with it anymore, even if it is a free(ish) dating website!

My account was stolen by a hacker and OKC allowed them to change my login e-mail address without even sending a confirmation e-mail to the original e-mail address. Now I can't login or reset my password as it's associated with another e-mail, meanwhile some prick is using my account to scam women. OKC support is apparently non-existent as I haven't been able to get a reply through any of their channels and they don't even have a phone number to call. I'm a paying customer and can't get any help. After looking into it, it seems my experience is pretty common. Use a site that cares about security and customer service.

After 3 years on OKC, all I can say to any self-respecting woman is, "Run the other way!" The best thing to come from OKC in my experience is, I have met one man three years ago, who I still see occasionally. He moved 150 miles away.

The other encounters I've had are scammers, married men actively looking for mistresses (no, thanks) and verbally abusive misogynists.

My most recent incident was the last straw that led me to delete my profile permanently. This man and I messaged a couple of days on the site. We then texted a couple days. I invited him to phone me. That's when he explained that he had adopted two children. This came as a shock to me, since he is my age (late 50's). While I respect his willingness to take in these kids whose mother was a drug addict, I didn't wish to share his journey. He asked if I wanted to meet him in person. I said no and he hung up on me. I texted him and thanked him for calling and hanging up on me. He launched into the most hateful insults I've ever gotten, all because is wasn't interested in dating a man with children. I called him a bully. He replied with more profanity and insults. I reported him to OKC for harassment. He replied that he did the same to me. I deleted his number from my phone and the texts he had sent. I did not deserve this outpouring of misogyny from this caveman in any way.

Any woman with any self-respect would not put her profile on OKC. Spare yourself the heartache.
