    The app constantly tells you that dozens if not hundreds of people genuinely like you. This is done in order to push you towards their premium option, which costs 40 dollars a month, which is not an insignificant amount of money to spend, but hell, I figured that I had to pay to play in order to find love. I genuinely wanted to find someone that I could have a real connection with, a real shot at finding my life partner.

    Turns out that when you do place 40 dollars down, it turns out that the people who liked you are foreigners and that instead of having likes, you're just showed all the various people who have swiped left on your profile while a handful out of over a hundred people liked your profile. This is honestly a form of dishonesty and could potentially rise to the level of false advertising. I don't know, I'm not a lawyer. Avoid this site at all costs.

    Dislike the site. I haven't been on it for that long. I paid for the basic membership package and I don't like it because first of all I feel like they played me. When I looked at my people you may like future. It didn't show locate I'll and then I open it up thinking all I got all these likes then I open it after paying for it it's all foreign woman. They should at least allow you to see the location then you can turn around and decide if you are actually going to pay for the membership and all the women who are in Massachusetts a lot of them are not even online and there's barely anybody from Rhode Island there. I feel like this site is more for people who live in more heavier populated areas like New York or if you live in New Hampshire. That is what it's more geared towards.

    Sure is not working well for me in Rhode Island. So many people are changing their location that are foreigners just to like my s*** and it sucks. I think Plenty of fish is probably better. I had better luck on that site and I'm not even paid subscriber. There is also ** but I won't count that one because that is not a real dating site. It's more for casual encounters so I won't count that and yes I do get a lot way more communication there than on OkCupid. Okay Cupid sucks but it's better than hinge. They need to make it so somehow some way they stop these foreign women from messaging US citizens with false locations and I will be ending my account before the end of the month before they hit me with another charge.

      I would have to say it is very misleading and they'll say you have 19 likes but when you go into the box after you paid for it you really only got maybe five and it's overseas and sometimes it just seems like the site is dead but I'm a new subscriber so I'm going to give it to the rest of the month and see if I change my review.

      OKC offers the space to post a meaningful opportunity to post a fleshed out profile and more- worked OK for a while. Recently (past 5 mos), very glitchy, can't see any photos and an entirely unresponsive staff - only automatic responses w/o any real effort to correct the situation. This is costly on a personal level in both time and money. Look elsewhere.

      I joined for one month, to see how it works, after one week I was told I was banned. There is no way to contact anyone, now I'm out $40 and afraid my subscription will continue to be renewed. I would never recommend this site to anyone! No one will contact me no matter how many times I write them.

      Said I had 75 likes and over 150 views, paid for the one-month membership and all my likes and views were from ppl in Kenya, Nigeria, Congo and other 3rd world countries. Everyone was a scam. No match in my area and when I search my area says no one is in it. Total bait and switch. Don't waste your money, just delete it as you will never get a real match, just scammers.

      I picked this app because a friend had had great success with it. That was a while ago, and it shows. The app is unusable without paying. Almost none of the features work. It's not much better if you do pay. If they do offer you half price for a month, DO NOT DO IT. They will recharge the card a day early and then refuse to refund you (even though I sent a request in less than 24 hours). So you will end up spending a bunch of money on an app that is garbage. I should have looked at the reviews here because everyone has had the same experience. I'm sure that's why they are being ridiculous about refunds...Everyone knows the app is worthless now that it is owned by Match and they're not making enough money for their CEO. Also...they know their app is horrible, too.

      You will get constant ads for other dating apps owned by Match whether you are on the free version or paid. "Not having any luck with this enshittified app? Try this other enshittified app!" Also, as others have said there are a lot of scammers that are never dealt with (cartoon character and AI profile pics are so obvious and yet those profiles remain up). Learn from my expensive mistake: Don't download this app, and if you must, don't give them any money. Try Hinge. 😉

      OkCupid was at one time my favorite dating app. I have been using it for about 20 years, essentially since it was founded. It was more fun than the other apps, with a far richer experience. The more questions people answered, and the deeper their responses, the better you were able to know them. To that end, I answered over 3,000 questions over the years. OkCupid also used to periodically release interesting posts about research conducted on the site. It was more devoted than any other dating app to fostering true connection beyond merely swiping an endless series of pictures.

      That all ended a few years ago; I'm not completely sure when or why. I suppose it must have been a change in leadership. They started deleting questions, streamlining the app, and effectively neutralizing any advantage it had over competitors. They also began aggressively monetizing every possible interaction to the point that the free app became worthless. I continued to use it off and on, but with less satisfaction.

      Then a few months ago, OkCupid tried to charge me for a premium membership I never asked for. They repeatedly charged my credit card, so I told my bank not to pay them. That caused OkCupid to delete my account. Decades of data gone in an instant for absolutely no reason. I have evidence that the mistake was theirs, not mine. Even if the dispute about a premium service were legitimate, what does that have to do with my free account? It is supposed to be free, so the bank should have nothing to do with that!

      I tried vociferously to get my account reinstated, but nobody would respond beyond automated e-mails saying I needed to create a new account. OkCupid has effectively no support function at all. Not one human would explain to me what happened despite repeatedly asking to escalate the issue. I don't know why they tried to charge me for something I never asked for, why that would require deleting my free account, or why they refused to talk to me about it. Eventually, I gave up.

      In short, don't use OkCupid. You might hear stories about how it was once good, but those days are long gone. The whole thing is basically just a scam now. They will randomly charge you for things, fail to provide useful services, and then delete your account without explanation. Mine is by no means the only horror story; just keep reading their reviews if you want more proof.

      OkCupid is great. The people on OKCupid is another story. No American woman would reply to me. So I started to seek a partner from ** countries.

      Jackpot. The ** women are eager to talk. Real legit people who just want love. I spoke to several before finding the one. I found my wife in Vietnam. 4 months later I went to meet her. 4 months after that we were married online via Courtly online marriages. 4 months after that I went back to Vietnam and had the ceremony. Most wonderful experience of my life and I am 51 years old. If you're over 30, forget about American women. Seek one over seas. Be kind, and realistic. You'll find the one.

      OkCupid author review by Mark Brooks

      OKCupid.com is a free site that offers members the ability to upgrade their experience by subscribing to a premium membership. Created in 2004, the site serves millions of members through a unique profile format and optional question and answer section.

      • Unique profile format: Many dating sites only ask members to tell a little bit about themselves and who they are looking for. OKCupid makes it easier to learn more about prospective dates through open ended profile questions including six things you can't live without, what you are good at, what you are doing with your life, what you like to do on a friday night and more.

      • Thousands of optional questions: OKCupid has a unique feature that allows you to answer as many or as few multiple questions on topics ranging from values and relationship goals to personal hygiene and basic math skills. You can then compare your answers to those of people whose profiles you are viewing.

      • Advanced search algorithm: Users can choose both physical and value-based attributes to search for, improving the quality of the matches they find. Some criteria are only available via upgraded membership.

      • Anonymous email network: Users can email potential matches through OKCupid.com's own messaging service, allowing them to keep their identities and contact info private until they are ready to share it.

      • Profiles are screened before being posted: OKCupid.com staff screens profiles and photos before posting to ensure only appropriate information makes it onto the site.
