OKC is a great site, efficient, user friendly and funny with tons of wonderful and interesting people. However tough and specific as standards are very high there.
With OKC free doesn't mean cheap at all!

Feminine profiles are mostly from middle-age highly educated women, with strong personnalities, who have busy and dynamic lifestyle with good professional positions. Often executives or independant. Then they know exactly what they want and are indeed very selective.

Challenging but fair isn't it?

Most members seem to want a one night stand. I suppose it would be a five for quite a few people but that is just not my flask of whiskey. I have, however, found a few good matches.

I will share my experience with this site. Seems to me there are a lot of fake profiles on there but once you try to scope them out, and connect with the true profiles. Network a little you should find that OK cupid will bring you some good. Charismatic friends. I do like the layout and it is easy and fun to use. Nice to boy shop, I have met some highly interesting people and had some fascinating chats, it is very true about the chemistry. They get that right.

Too many of the women on the site are too selective. They don't even bother to respond or sometime even check out my profile, although I have had one or two respond to say we weren't a match or to reply to an anecdote I gave after reading her profile.

I paid around $14 for the month in order to be 'invisible' and see if my messages were actually being read. (They were). Unfortunately, as aforementioned, the response rate is horrible.

I don't understand those, who are saying this site is bad. I am using this from 7 months, i never paid any penny for this site. Downside of the site is that there are not so many people and there is quiver - computer is giving you recommended matches - usually some overweight women what is deal breaker for me, because i do sports and i expect the women to be at least ok shape. I have met about 8 women from this site, plus 2 women abroad, who turned into really nice penpals. For me by now this is the best FREE dating site i have ever tried. One downside - but it is on all dating sites, women are not serious what they want. I must say, i am good looking guy with wide range of interests, but i rarely get a response. Are they waiting for Bred Pitt to text them? Or i think for lot of girls online dating is just a way how to make self-esteem higher, because guys are saying nice things.

Guys don't pay for the site!
Once you subscribe to okcupid, they ip ban people from logging in to stop people from canceling their subscription, they allow you to log on your account from mobile, so they can legally charge you every month... they scammed me and now I have to cancel my card.

You guys want proof?
Well I changed my ip adress using a proxy server, and guess what?
I logged right on using a different account... but when I tried to log on using my account they said the site is having technical difficulties. Obvious scam and im taking action against the company.

Everyone please take action against okcupid...

Nothing but scammers
October 21, 2013

The site was once great, and now is nothing but a playground for African scammers. Most of the new users have photos of adult actresses and profile text copied from Ukraine dating sites. Once you start communicating with someone, she'll admit she's in Ghana, "Taking care of her mother" or some other tale. Of course if you sent her some money, she could come back (and she' know's you're the one for her). Stay far, far away from this site.

This is less a review of the site than the quality of people on it. The women complain that men only want sex, nobody reads their profile and they don't want messages that only consist of 'whats up,' yet when somebody real comes around they only focus on that persons photos.

It is a good dating site if you don't want to cost money. You can send or receive letters for free. But you are not sure whether the people is real person.
I have been on this site for almost one year, and also keep communicate with some people, but also limited to chat. I also sign up a other dating site, idateasia.com. Hope to find my life partner soon.

Okupid is OK, haaa
October 10, 2013

Okupid is OK, haaa. I think that they are too revenue driven. If the hold off so people can establish a connection before gouging them, the site would be more popular. Just because i see a girl that i think i may be interested, does not mean i want to pay just to chat with her... call me cheap, or whatever.

Well... I love the idea of the personal questions, and I love their design.
BUT - there are some creepy people there, so no 5 stars from me.

This is hands down the worst site ever. Joined off and on for 8 months and every time it is the same lame scammers. All these men want is sex and absolutely nothing else. They will talk and talk and talk then eventually send you a picture of their junk. I've gone out with a few but it is the same crap... ill buy you dinner but I expect sex when it is over.
I'll stick with trying to meet someone just living my life normally without a damn computer.

Some people like this site better than POF but I don't... OK cupid is a little gimmicky to me and there are less people I'd be interested in dating but I've been on both of those free sites and hands down they are so much better than any popular paid sites you see advertised (how do you think they pay for those advertisements? By charging you) Most people on those sites signed up for the free trial then went inactive once the trial is over.

Signed up, thought it was very well designed and easy to use. Then I try to sign in a couple of days later only to find out my profile (which I spent a good few hours creating) was deleted due to some unknown reason. I had not broken any rules or done anything unusual.

Search the complaints and you will find many more like this. They also have NO customer support.

Well, I was very unsure at first of OKCupid because I had such bad luck with POF and a few other dating sites, so I went in thinking "If this doesnt't work, I am done with the whole online dating thing". Thank God I gave it a try 2 weeks in I met my husband (which was an 84% match on OKC). I love this site because it didnt force me to stay 25miles within my zipcode (who says LOVE is in your hometown lol). I lived in Indiana and my husband was from NY. The key to this site is honesty and realism. If you answer every question w/o fear of what the person reading might think of you and the other person does the same, you end of meeting some great matches! Never in a million years did I think I would find my other half on a dating site but I did and I thank the Lord I took a chance :)

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.
