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 am a big fan of this site. I find the quality/quantity of men no different than on paid dating sites such as Match.com, but it is free! Why pay when you don't have to? I actually find the instant messenger feature to be easier to use and more reliable on OkCupid's site than on Match. I also love how interactive the site is in that you can participate in forum's and answer questions publically or privately to help determine your best match. This site is a lot of fun, go for it!

Oh I do want to provide some helpful hints for online dating to consider not just on this site but on any...

1) Make sure the person has multiple pictures of themselves
2) Make sure at least one or more pics show their entire body
3) Make sure you see their teeth in at least one of the pics (Trust me you don't want any surprises here, lol)
4) Pay attention to how the person presents themselves in their profile. Not just what they say, but how they say it. If they come across as negative, shallow, and/or they have a lot of typos and can't communicate their ideas clearly these are some serious red flags.

I hope you find my review and additional tips to be helpful!

I have been single for quite some time and this is one of the sites I have recently tried out. It is free but the trade off is that there are some people on here just to screw around and not seriously into dating... read player guys. But you get what you pay for. Less useful for older people too. I haven't found anyone yet, but I am hopeful!

Free online dating site :) Free hook ups! What more can you want. Better than plenty of fish. Not as good as match but it is FREE.

Free is Free

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.

Free dating site that I believe rivals match.com. This is what you get... techy people rather than the player loser boys on other sites. This site is not as well known as the other more advertised websites, so it attracts a very different type of person. I like it a little more than other free dating sites and fewer creeps than the infamous craigslist that some people use for dating.

Timing is Everything!
August 9, 2008

Timing is Everything! - My friend recently told me about this new site. Rather than filling out questionnaires and taking personality tests, you can just sign yourself up for a blind date! Has anyone tried this? Isn't it risky?
