OKC used to be a decent dating site, with a reasonable price to use and decent algorithms for matching you with people of interest. Those days are LONG gone!! It's now utter garbage. You get inundated with likes by foreign women and you have no way to filter them out, so you get a daily swarm of mail-order-bride-wannabes.
OKCupid uses these "likes" to get you to sign up for a membership, then you find out that they're just crap after you do, which is ridiculous given the service is now $50/month and it sucks. If you have any sort of parameters set up for matches within your region, the pool is VERY small, so you basically have nothing to choose from one you pass on the first round of matches. Over a month's time I was a member I think I had maybe four or five new matches come through after I culled the chaff that was the first round. Don't waste your money or time using OKC, it's awful.

I took their 50% offer and bought 1 month for $25. If you are looking to throw money away, this is one place to do it. Like most dating apps, you have to pay them if you want to see who likes you. So who liked me? Kenya. Somalia. Philippines, Thailand. Indonesia but not a single person from the US, much less from Colorado where I live. The day after I paid to subscribe, their customer pool dried up and never came back. You're lucky if 2 or 3 new ones pop up daily. This website/service is a terrible and total waste of money. Give your money to a homeless person instead. It's a rotten company and rotten service.

Someone hacked my account, stole my info and photos and OkCupid has done nothing about it! I responded to the email they sent saying my email had changed. It took days for them to respond and when they did they asked for a reference number that was already in the email I had just sent them! I responded with the number requested days ago and they still have not responded. This is such a violating feeling! Violation of my privacy!

Many Americans live WITHIN 100 miles or much less of international borders. The algorithm this company uses for matches does not recognize borders for matching and recommendations, even if requested. Especially during COVID this glaring omission in selecting parameters rendered it a waste of money for northern and southern U.S. denizens. They will not refund unhappy users getting "matches" primarily from another country. Boo for not correcting this or offering refunds. Not customer advocates.

OkCupid, when it first came out actually used to be a very reasonably priced site. It wasn't even as much about memberships and things like that, but I noticed these past few years their membership prices are about just as much as Match.com and Eharmony sites. The interface is getting worse and worse. Most of the profiles look VERY phony. I've been contacted more than four or five times by someone using fake pictures (just literally did Google image searches on them and realized pictures were fake). This site is terrible.
Another thing is I see countless profiles saying "Hi I DON'T have a membership so I can't see likes or send messages"...I mean come on OKCupid, get it together. If people are putting that in their profile make some kind of obligation to either separate non-paying members to have a section for paying members or premium members for ease of contact and communication. It makes it extremely difficult as a premium paying member that the other person cant contact me or even see my like or message because they aren't a premium member. It's RIDICULOUS and it actually makes your site very not user-friendly.
Also, I feel like the site is supporting one side more than the other. Even though I don't have a problem with the LGBTQ community or anything like that, I feel like the site is very prominent with this group of individuals so it makes it very difficult to find someone who might share my beliefs or foundation in a heterosexual monogamous relationship. Seeing a lot of sarcastic or mocky profiles about this is very tasteless and having to sift through multiple polys, bi, asexual, or "couple" profiles shouldn't have to be.
I mean you need to either change your element to suit that type of group of people and make this dating site specifically geared towards that community altogether. State that somewhere in your handle just like sites that actually state they are specifically for gays or transexuals or people who might have disabilities or a friend/hangout site...etc... I feel like there are barely any people on there that are real or searching for anything remotely serious...

I used to be a member and even was a paid subscriber for a month in the past before closing down the account. I recently opened a new account simply looking for a FRIEND, not necessarily a relationship. Within a day I received @ 25 likes, and within a few days it was more than double that amount. The problem is when I clicked on the "Discover" button to find matches, less than 10 profiles showed up. How do I receive that many "likes" but not that many matches. So out of my suspicion that OKC is a huge fraud, I "liked" all 10 of those profiles back, and NONE was a match. I've come to the conclusion that OK Cupid creates FAKE "LIKES" and/or those "Likes" are coming from overseas, which are most likely scammers.

Where to begin. In short, OkCupid sucks badly, stay away from giving them your money, it doesn't worth it, AT ALL! I feel ripped off, their tactics feels like a scam, just to fill their pockets. They don't want you to find anyone, they only want to keep you around for your money, use you. I mean DUH, why would they really care if you're happy in life?
At some point I got like over 200 likes, and finally gave in because of my curiosity, and because of the pathetic discovery section, which seems to be always empty (only like 5- 10 offers every day), if you're on there everyday searching for your woman. OR sometimes it seems to reset, and you'll get a whole bunch and can swipe for hours, but those profiles you already had swiped left on anyways, so no new women, just wasting time!!
So I paid for one month, and there you go, most of those likes came from Kenya Africa, only like 20 in my area, but after cleaning them all out, I ended up with only - 1 - like left I was considering to contact. When I did, I got a reply, that she liked me like 2 years ago, and it didn't go nowhere anyways. So obviously OkCupid is holding hostage of the women who like you. If you never pay, you'll never see all of the real woman in your area who likes you, or their intro... (But this doesn't mean you should pay to see those likes, don't do it, trust me, I doubt the feeling will be mutual, unless you don't care and go for ANY woman)
Also you don't really get anything else than just being able to see who (fake) likes you. Ok, you can scroll through questions you didn't answer yet, but I'm not bored to check this section out (since it sucks so much that they took away the ability to search certain answers to questions you're only interested in. Did you ever try to scroll through hundreds of answers? Are you bored?). You still have to pay extra, ding ding ding, for Boost, and (new) additional super likes, etc...
So in that one month of membership, I'm still single, neither did I make out with someone. I only got to like like 3 women because of the lag of choices in discoveries, no one matched back, just crickets... Also, the actual reason I had to sign up on here, and write a review is, that in that one month my like inbox only got 3 new likes, but as soon my membership ended, and I couldn't check my likes anymore, I got at day 1 already 25 new likes!! Day 2 it raised to 42 likes, and today, day 3, I got already 65 likes, no wait 67 now!!! But they can kiss my sweet ***, never going to sign up again, rather throw my money into the fire pit.
Other reasons OkCupid sucks hard: When they changed their nice old system to the same swipe like Tinder crap. I wish I never had gotten single again. I remember the days when I was able to scroll threw all the profiles in one overview. Beforehand I could set my filters, and only got those shown. Also I was hiding each profile I didn't want to see anymore, so at some point I really got to see only new members, or the ones I didn't contact yet. But these days, it's just broken. For example my max height looking for set to max 5'7, distance max 25 miles, but in the discovery section they show you everything. Women 7' tall, hundreds of miles away, what a freaking waste of my time having to swipe through all of them!
Also as already mentioned, you can't search for answers no more. It just sucks, I should just delete my profile, but it's hard to give up hope, so here I am, still wasting my time on there, but at least for free because a membership does not give you any REAL advantages! I really hope I could help you a little by the choice to rather saving your money, and spent it elsewhere!

I've used this app several times and sympathize with those who found it unpleasant, even disturbing. Sometimes the app is unable to differentiate between gender preferences and other essential preferences, such as drug use. It has been charged with "experimenting" on users rather than concentrating on best practices for providing positive experiences. The first feature users have probably noticed is the oddly vulgar, somewhat graphic, or meanly sarcastic representations of different types of relationships. The questionnaires are meant to gamify rather than add value.

This company owns several dating sites. All of them the same. Overpriced, and trick you into paying for a membership only to limit your search and hide you from others and hide others from you. They drag you along to keep you paying. They started only showing me people just outside of my set age preference range of 38-58, and then once I paid, there was NOBODY within my age range...and they would only show me people if I changed my preference from within 500 miles range to anywhere in the world. They are a bunch of crooks and they should be shut down for false advertisement and unfair business practices! Buyer beware!!!

The tl;dr of this is do not use OKcupid. I've used OKCupid for over a decade. Had only 3 stints of a 1 month membership (late 2017, November 2020 and just recently October 12, 2021 to November 12, 2021). Is it free to use? Yes. You can message/like people, view profiles, etc etc. Not much is really preventing you from using the site. Though, yes, there are features that require a subscription. But, the subscription is complete and utter GARBAGE.
- Decline in the user interface. mostly that you may "pass" on a few profiles, and the site actually needs a few moments to load more. Yet Bumble and other sites don't have this sort of issue.
- Match percentage is a joke and a scam.I've seen profiles with next to 0 filters filled in, yet I somehow get 90%+ matching. I've seen profiles where I set that I do not date smokers, want kids, and not religious, yet I'm a 90%+ match to smokers who don't want kids and are deeply religious... yet I rate closer to 30-50% on profiles that actually have the metrics I am actually looking for.
- Absolutely no way of knowing their method for adding profiles to your search.Let me clarify... yes, you can set to be in a certain region. They have the stacks for: match, recommended, nearby, online, nearby, a passport feature (international profiles), and whatever recent tags they add (at the moment "pro-choice" and "vaccinated" are in stacks you can search by). Other than the online, a free user has no way of knowing if a profile was generated in the last 12 hours or last 12 months. So good luck if you think the person will actually respond.
- 2 tiers of subscription, and the lower tier is a scam.So the so-called "premier" package lets you see who likes you and who your number of likes/intros is increased. Problem? The "popular" and "new people" however don't simply require the "premier" membership... no... you have to pay an additional $1.99 for a week... for each. Welcome to MTX.
- Loads of fakes, pornbots, and the like.Yes, yes. Free online dating site so you are going to see this regardless. But in the last 5 years, the number of these profiles has increased exponentially. The only times I get responses, they end up saying I have to chat offsite (which you don't need to do... it's free...), try to get you to send money, or go straight into cybering. Or they try to con you into thinking they actually live in your area. For women, it's worse. I've had a few chats with women who responded to me because I explicitly did not open with a 1 word variant of "hi" or tried to ask for pics or to hook up on the literal first message. Maybe it is the hook up culture that is dragging it down, maybe it is a variant of bot. But these are chasing away women from the site in a matter of hours after signing up.
- There is a "questions" feature on the website (non-mobile users) that shows users that somehow are not appearing in the Discover search.Let me be clear: I set my discovery to be wide open. No filters for height, weight, kids, smoking, etc. Yet, I'm having to go to the "Questions" section to get more profiles to look at. The questions are based on about 5000 random questions that users or the site generated asking about every nuance of your life. There is also a keyword search. So you can look for Sports and ideology, to just looking for "the" and "and". I get more profiles to look at via this message than I typically see in their Discover section.
- You can't filter out the Passport.OKC forces this option on you. Even if you set your distance to 250, 50, or 5 miles. This stack is ALWAYS in your Discover section. In addition, you can't really prevent yourself from being searched by profiles in Africa, Asian, South America, etc. Those profiles will "like" you. They never...NEVER... send an intro message. They only send a "like".
- Likes have no expiration.If a user "likes" you, it never goes away... unless... you manage to randomly find the user in Africa or Asia and block them (I've tried "passing"... that is statistically a bit random if it actually removes the Like) or if the profile is somehow removed (and even that seems to be a bit spotty).
- The most recent experience: the sudden influx of "likes" immediately after my membership ended... and I got more 6 hours after my membership ended that I did in a 30 day membership.My membership literally ended 12 hours ago, prior to me creating this review. I received 24 likes (managed to block 2... based in Uganda... to bring the count down to 22). About 4 years ago, the Match group was hit by a class action lawsuit where this sort of predatory behavior to get user to buy into a membership package to false "likes" to say they should not do it. They did not listen. They did not learn. They continue this practice.
So, in summary. Should you use it? No. If you do, stay a free user. Don't give OKC/Match money. It won't actually improve your experience. In 10+ years, I haven't had a date from the site in 2 years. Also been about that long since I last talked to someone that wasn't a bot, fake, a scammer, or wasn't living outside the United States. I'm done with this organization. My advice is for you to stay away as well.

I joined OkCupid and had some back and forth emails with a couple different people. I then met Steven **. His profile had him in Jamaica Plain, Ma. We spent the next 4-5 months chatting online, text and phone. His story was he is a pipeline engineer. In Sept he stated he snagged a 60 mile long oil pipeline in Russia. Thru out he sent “pictures” but nothing that could be confirmed. Long story short “problems” started arising and he started hitting me up for money. I investigated him and found everything he gave me his license, address, SS, bank etc were fake. I contacted OKCUPID to report him and they simply never bothered to respond. My recommendation is RUN not walk from this company. My story is just one of THOUSANDS specific to this company.

So I was using the free site and I noticed I had a bunch of likes and the site pressured me to sign up to see all these people who've liked me. I signed up and started messaging some of the people back. Literally all the people I messaged said they've never even seen my profile yet alone liked it. Some people were not even from the same country who had no idea who I was when I had the radius to people close. Basically here to save you trouble.

Here's the straight dope! Written 30AUG2021.
- If you "like" somebody, a picture, a comment (from their exhaustive system of profiling questionnaire queries), etc. -- you have the opportunity to message them, FREE!
- The amount of likes you can give is limited on a 24-hour basis. I don't know the 24-hour period starts with the age of your profile or if there is a universal, site-wide window that resets same time of day for everyone.
--- I think the daily limit is somewhere in the neighborhood of 20-30, I never counted but it seemed reasonable to me because I'm picky so I only reached limit first day 'cause I went HAM.
- You can message unlimited with any other profile that MATCHES (reciprocates your like) you.
- On the mobile, it is super easy to accidentally "like" since they use swiping for both the "like" feature as well as browsing user photo albums -- BE CAREFUL!! Haha.
- you can set matching preferences, e.g. age range, gender, sexual orientation, body-type, etc. BUT THEY ARE NOT ENFORCED FOR FREE USERS (I don't know about premium, I assume so but cannot certify since I didn't pay).
--- if you care about any kinda strict matchmaking criteria, do NOT depend on the site's system to filter out any non-negotiables you specify in your preferences -- the site "don't care".
If you can stomach all that, give it a whirl -- depending on population density near you -- you might get a couple bites. Keep expectations low and you'll be okay. In the 3-4 days I tried it, I'm still talking to one of my matches. 3 girls matched, 1 was an "accidental like", the other 2, 1 I was just kinda puttin' a feeler out, and the last was a genuine interesting prospect -- she's the one still talkin' to me. They were 3 "mutuals" of of the 21 likes I received in a 96-hour window...the other 18, I assume were like another reviewer commented, and prolly fake or dead/inactive profiles.
I literally only deliberately commented or gave a "like" to maybe 20 girls or pictures or whatever out of the 4-5 hundred profiles I saw. I eventually reached the end of the "stack" (potential matches) and there are like 4-5 stacks based on "online status," "proximity/location," "match" level (which is based on the compatibility of answers in their personality questionnaire), "recommended" (assume it's a different form of match compatibility but have no insight as to how it differs from "match"), and then "passport" which is if you wanna find international candidates. There's the straight dope, y'all!

People need to realize OkCupid, Tinder, POF and basically all the popular ones are bought by Match Group. You jump from app to app trying to understand why you cannot find matches. In reality, all these use the same deceptive practices to scam people. For example show fake or years old non-active profiles or far away people, so you keep swiping until desperate enough to pay for "boost" or find out that all your 100 likes are from overseas fake people.

I strongly advise everyone to stay away from OkCupid scammer fraud site. It's just as bad as scammer fraud Facebook, The first 3 days after signing up with okcupid without paid version, I get 39 unknown likes I cant view , and okcupid tells me I have to pay $60 just to view likes and send messages and denies me from sending likes, then okcupid blows my email up with spam emails from strange email addresses. Okcupid has no customer support at all. It's all FAKE and a SCAM. I also received 2 strange fake profile intros from China with fake pictures and fake info.
Furthermore the only response I received was from a lady that was telling lies about herself in her profile falsely claiming she was single and alone but really is living with her baby daddy and her daughter doing this okcupid stuff behind his back, and claims she has multiple men she gets with behind her baby daddy back. It seems that all she wanted from me and every other guy was phone sex and porn pics, once I refused she was gone like the wind. So to all you married men or married women or anyone who has a boyfriend or girlfriend, you will probably find your lover on okcupid trying to cheat on you with a hookup maybe even for money.

New user, signed up a couple of days ago. I wasn't even able to complete my profile before I got banned for who knows what reason. Had some kind of login error, attempted to contact support, and shortly thereafter I got a notice that I had been banned from the site. Suppose that's one way to deal with tech support problems, though perhaps not the best way for attract paying customers or mitigating negative reviews on sites like Consumer Affairs...
Based upon the questions I was asked during signup and also when I was fleshing out my profile, OKCupid (OKC) came across as being very "politically correct" and far left biased. I was asked at least a dozen times about my voting habits alone. What does that have to do with finding a date? Other examples of some of the questions are "Would you date someone who doesn't support the #Metoo movement?", "Overall has capitalism made the world a better place?" and "Communism, in concept...", several more question about supporting gun control, many on COVID and related, quite a few related to political activism etc.
Speaking of activism, I noticed blog entries and general themes suggesting that this is a big deal with members of the site. No one else allowed... or at least that's how I felt. It's great for someone who subscribes to that particular viewpoint and lifestyle, but not so much for anyone else. Especially for those of us who after all that has happened in 2020 have absolutely had it with politics across the board and just want to start living life again, the pandering on OKC is a gargantuan turn-off. I suspect (though I can't prove obviously) that the reason I got banned is that I don't share the same viewpoints that OKC seems to support. Vive la Différence!
Even with taking politics out of the equation, the quality and write-up of the questions leaves a lot to be desired. Spelling and grammar mistakes galore. Most of the questions are poorly worded, some are outright incoherent, and answer choices given are black and white either-or. It may sound like I'm picking at nits, but trying to answer a questionnaire that is poorly written and sometimes hard to understand is no fun!
Ironically, I was initially considering buying a month's subscription. For the brief time I was on OKC I actually spotted an old friend in the listings and wanted to drop them a line. I know the site is supposed to offer free messaging, but wasn't sure that a truly free exchange was going to be possible which is why I was thinking of subbing. Either way I think I successfully dodged a bullet!
Speaking of subscriptions, the cost on OKC seems pretty high compared to some other sites I'm familiar with. A full month premium sub on OKC which unlocks all the features costs approx ~$35/mo. That same amount of money will purchase 3 months of service on Plenty of Fish, which incidentally is a much larger site. eHarmony and Adult Friend Finder (AFF) both cost about the same on a monthly basis as OKC, but I feel that the user gets more bang for the buck if for no other reason than a larger user base to play with and the obvious adult features that goes with AFF. Yes I know the cost goes down per/month the larger the block of time purchased, but that's standard with all dating sites these days. However for OKC it doesn't stop there. If you want to boost your profile to make it more visible for a short time, 15 minutes at a time if I recall the site info correctly, be prepared to pay up!
The other complaints I see from other reviewers on here I can vouch for in a lot of cases. Within the first few minutes of signing up (suspiciously fast) I suddenly had several "hits", people who supposedly clicked on my profile and were interested in meeting. They were of course all blurred out, so no idea if they were legit. I felt it was a pretty obvious lure to get the new user to pay for a subscription. I wasn't on long enough to encounter any scammers or catfishers, however I don't doubt the claims of the others one bit as it's a serious problem on all the "free" dating sites.
The matching system is pretty strange too. One user I ran across shared a 99% (!) compatibility score match with me. Obviously intrigued, I checked out her profile as I wanted to see what a 99% match would be like... I mean could this possibly be my long lost twin whom we got separated at birth? LOL! Not exactly... not even that close in reality. While we did agree on many points, there were quite a few major points we didn't, and a lot of those points I don't think either one of us would have been willing to budge on.
For those who were ever members on the site "MyYearbook" (MYB) or when it was later bought out and became "MeetMe", the feel of OKC is very similar. Specifically when MYB introduced their dating game, they way they asked and presented the questions is identical. Same for the way they used to match people. It actually makes me wonder if OKC is a spinoff of those two sites or if the developers simply grabbed the code and made it fit for their purposes.
Overall my outlook on OKC is pretty negative. The political aspect is something I found to be bothersome and not something I want to get involved with on a dating site. Good for the reader who is into such things, but I think the vast majority of people on dating sites... myself inclusive... are there for the (*gasp!*) dates; not to debate the finer points of democratic socialism! LOL! Customer service is about as horrible as it comes, and looking at other reviews, what happened to me seems to be a common problem... nice to know guys! The algorithm that determines compatibility is whacked, as are the quality of the questions. Finally OKC is still a very small site compared to others, yet they still charge a premium for service compared to other sites. Verdict: AVOID!!! AVOID!!! AVOID!!!

This dating app is a joke, a husk of its former self and a fundamental failure. You have horrible stalkers making multiple accounts, violating the TOS, but you make a joke they consider "offensive" and your account gets banned. How can you claim to be a dating site when one cannot show a bit of your own sense of humor? The app pushes a certain political agenda without being inclusive of those who think different. You are bombarded by propaganda and feel as if not being of a certain political leaning makes you undesirable. It shouldn't be called OkCupid. It should be called OkLib. The app/dating site also charges you for every little thing, such as seeing whether someone saw your messages. Don't waste your time with this app if you want to find a life partner. If you are an introvert like me, you would honestly have more luck finding a partner on a bar than on this so-called "dating app". Don't waste your time.

OKCupid is the most gynocentric dating app of all time, lol. Even the "artsy" promos are propaganda. The female models showcase their caricatured "partners" like accessories. Really. They throw in trendy social justice issues as soon as they are "in", but there is a clear subtext to their posturing that one sex is more important than the other. (Hint: the dominant sex is not the one they get the most money from...) OKCupid wants guys to know that shirtless bathroom selfies are tacky, but 20 year old bikini pics are allowable for women. Those who sell sex are intrinsically more moral than those who buy it...even though the buyers' dollars are welcome all the same. They make it VERY difficult to stop paying automatically.

I want to start this off by saying OKCupid was one of the better apps for online dating as there were far fewer bots and people that actually talked. I was a paying member for about 4 years until one day after talking about video games with a new match, I woke up the next morning to a message saying your account has been suspended for violating our terms of service. This confused me greatly as I only message matches a couple of times a month with very simple hello messages asking about a hobby, interest, or pet. I never say anything offensive, harassing, lewd, provocative, or otherwise creepy or ban-worthy, and yet here I was.
I tried looking up to see what this suspension meant, and that is actually code for your account has been deleted... permanently. I tried contacting their support through email, and they responded saying they don't deal with claims about suspensions. I tried looking it up, and sure enough, there is a long history of people getting banned for no reason and never finding out why. This to me seemed very odd, especially since OKCupid has a paid option. If I, as a customer, want to pay for their service, I can get banned for no reason and no appeal, and, better yet, I can make a new free account and try all over again.
I would never pay again as they could easily ban me again and just take my money (as has happened to many people), so essentially, their business model promotes the creation of free accounts and promotes short loyalty of its customers... That doesn't sound very supportive, does it? So I'd say, if you don't care about meeting girls at the risk of being banned for no reason right when you actually get in contact with someone, then sure, use OKCupid, but every time you go to sleep might be the last time that you still have an account with this cutthroat company.

After that report my account was banned!!!! Instead of protecting my account from criminals, they put illegal criminal behavior on pedestal. This elements are pathetic. They cover bad, horrible offensive behavior. Never answer any e-mails or requests. This site must be banned. Burn in hell, dumb site "owners." They need to be investigated for illegal activities!

Although I've been a user for years, suddenly I was told "username/password incorrect" every time I tried to log in, even though I knew perfectly well that they weren't. I hadn't done anything wrong or offended anyone. Complaints to OKC were useless. I've lost all sorts of friendly conversations and contacts. I rejoined anyway with a new profile but now cannot even access bookmarked profiles. OkCupid is becoming an unsatisfactory experience.

I was on OKC a few years ago, and during that time I got an email from OKC saying that they were going to start matching me with men who were attractive because I had so many likes (see the message below). I was even selected by OKC to be on the panel that reviewed inappropriate content. Then...I met someone and made the mistake of deleting my account. That relationship did not work out, so one year later I got back on OKC with a NEW account.
Now, I am having such a bad experience. Where I used to get many men interested in me who I thought were attractive, now I only get matched with what I consider to be very unattractive men. I don't mean moderately unattractive... I mean very unattractive. I have not had a single date with anyone in the 3 months that I've been back on because of the quality of men I'm matched with. I wish I had not paid for the 6 month subscription, but when it expires, I am done with OKC! I am not happy with how the algorithm is working for me.
This is the message I got from OKC in 2017: "We just detected that you’re now among the most attractive people on OkCupid. We learned this from clicks to your profile and reactions to you in DoubleTake. Did you get a new haircut or something? Well, it’s working! To celebrate, we’ve adjusted your OkCupid experience: You’ll see more attractive people in your results. This won’t affect your match percentages, which are still based purely on your answers and desired match’s answers. But we’ll recommend more attractive people to you. You’ll also appear more often to other attractive people. Sign in to see your newly-shuffled matches. Have fun, and don’t let this go to your head."

The woman has all the power to read or not read your message. Women can send males messages but they won't see men's messages unless they want to. The women on this website know they have the power and they abuse it by treating the men like crap. Also if a woman don't like a man for whatever reason all she has to do is make a false report (true or not) and the man will be kicked off/banned from the site.

Compared to other dating sites, I think OkCupid has the greatest potential of all of them, even if it's only a LITTLE better. There ARE real humans on it who DO actually message you, and you DON'T need to pay for a subscription to use it. Unfortunately, there aren't that many people using OkCupid, so keep that in mind. It probably only has a tenth of the population that other dating sites have, and the majority of the users are ** or ** people. Not many Asians, but there are some. I've used OkCupid on and off for a few months, with and without paid subscriptions, and I did get a few real, human people responding (but less than a dozen in total). The entire site works off of a "DoubleTake" system, which is completely free. Paying doesn't even influence the system in any beneficial way for you. (I even think that paying makes your matches WORSE.)
Paying for a subscription basically gives you two benefits: You get thrown to the top of the matches list for an hour or so everyday when other users go through DoubleTake, and you can see one-sided likes from other users (like in Tinder), which is really not all that meaningful anyway because of how DoubleTake works. The DoubleTake system is basically the same thing as Tinder's swipe system, except that you can send your likes messages (if you view their profile and send them). Your messages show up as part of YOUR profile when the person you liked comes across you in DoubleTake.
If you're looking for a genuinely FREE dating site that DOES work and you have the patience to sift through totally random matches, try OkCupid. You don't need to pay for it, and honestly, I don't recommend doing so since you won't gain much out of it anyway. OkCupid's probably the only site out there that doesn't gate people from sending messages.

First, I re-opened an account I made a couple years ago. It went fine, I started updating all my information and put a lot of effort and thought into filling it out. Within' 24 hours I could not access my account because of "terms violations" according to the message I received when attempting with an additional "contact us if you think this is a mistake", with no link to a contact page and no link ANYWHERE on their site to contact them. Luckily, I remembered having this issue years ago, the first time I signed up and filled out my information and being furious, so I went through my e-mail and found the support@okcupid.com address and the e-mail from the last time this happened. I contacted them and over 24 hours later, they finally responded with a copy and paste of the message they gave me before. Which basically said they didn't know why this had happened but my account was accessible now.
During the 24 hours I was locked out I attempted to sign up from Facebook and start over, although I was very aggravated at this time. I had one technical error after another and was never able to log in or sign up (so I thought) using the Facebook method. Later I received the message my original account was accessible, so I went to my Facebook and found the app and disconnected it from my information.
Here's where it gets REALLY RIDICULOUS. I started getting e-mails from the e-mail connected to my Facebook, from OKCUPID. Yet, any time I went to the website and attempted to log in to the account, it told me there was a technical error and to try again later. Their website was down for two hours that day and when it came back up, I was already logged into my account (so I thought) when I typed the address in. It appeared that all the information I filled out had been deleted, I began filling it out again, very angry and sent them a message about it. Then I logged out of the account and tried to log back in, realizing that perhaps it had me logged into the account that was connected to Facebook that I'd never been able to log into.
Upon logging in using my original information, I saw that my profile was filled out, so it HAD been the account connected to Facebook. SO, very frustrated over all my wasted time and all this effort and mess, I logged out and attempted to get back into the Facebook connected account to delete it... only to receive the technical error I HAD ALWAYS RECEIVED when attempting to log into that account.
They stole my face and my name and my information and have made it impossible for me to access this account to delete it. The only time I was on that profile, was when they had me auto-logged into it after their site was down and at that time I thought it was the original, as that is THE ONLY ACCOUNT I HAVE EVER BEEN ABLE TO ACCESS FROM THE LOGIN PAGE.
Essentially, not only did they ** me around and waste my time, they have stolen my identity and refused me access to remove it from their website. I contacted them many times over the last 48 hours demanding 1. my money refunded for the original account, as I had just PAID THEM MONEY and within' 24 hours was furious and wanted my money back. And 2. That they remove this profile they are denying me access to with my face and my name and my information from their website or to fix this "technical error" and let me do it myself. They have ignored me, I am yet to receive a response and I am furious, this is essentially identity theft.

While I met a couple decent guys on this site with whom I would like to maintain a friendship or more, it was a decidedly lopsided experience. I wade through more cringe worthy profiles or guys just not compatible with me than I care to admit on the way to those 2 guys. While OkCupid cannot be held responsible for the failings of members (who should theoretically be mature enough to be responsible for themselves at age 18 plus), they let a couple creeps keep opening new accounts after being repeatedly banned. And the creeps kept coming back to message me again after I said no to them.
OkCupid did not take the hint and ban an IP address or whatever would keep that kind of weirdo off. I also question whatever algorithm OkCupid uses because I’ve met a few guys who, according to algorithm, are 90% plus “matches” or “friends” and 10 percent or less “enemy”...but when I met them, it was clear within an hour they were not compatible with me (though they weren’t necessarily bad people).

I was an OkCupid user for several years, going on and off as I met people and dated. Never had any issues with policies until randomly I tried to log in 3 weeks ago and it said my profile was suspended and if I felt this was done in error to contact them. There is literally no way to contact them without a profile, so I was forced to create a new profile and go to the help options. After finding where to write them, I explained how I believe there was a mix up and please unsuspend my account. They never responded. A week later I wrote again, stating it’s been over a week and I’m still locked out by error. Then they responded and said I was suspended for a picture that was posted. Knowing all of my pictures met the guidelines I went to the help menu again and told them there’s no way, and to please recheck. No response. Wrote again after the 2nd week passed. No response.
Now the 3rd week has passed and still nothing AND the other profile I created is suspended as well. For some reason they don’t want real people with real photos on their app. All of the half-naked women and men seem to stay or people with no pics at all, but a real life person using their app to actually date and get to know people they suspend. It just doesn’t make sense. I am very upset about this as I formed friendships and started getting to know others and now have no way to contact them. I refuse to create another profile, I want my profile back that I created in 2012... So needless to say I will now be finding another dating app to use.

Then a small team of people use their subjective opinions to determine if the suspension is warranted. In the meantime, no notice or communication is provided to the person against whom the complaint was lodged and no offers to refund their money are made.
So there is no reason for the suspension provided, no opportunity to learn from potential mistakes, and who knows whether there ever actually was a policy violation!

The site has become pretty useless to both men and women. With the thousands that have left because of the current changes, it's a waste of time to even bother with OKC. Just to clarify, You can write a woman, but she will never know you did unless she likes you back. So, if you are on OKC writing messages, you've probably written a bunch of women that will never know. OKC is a total waste of your time.

This site was ridiculous. 75% were fake profiles of pictures cut out from magazines. It should be shut down. How can they seriously take your money with a straight face? I thought you pay for quality. I paid but I guess that is why it is also free. It is not a dating site. It is a scammer site. The only question I have is why? What is the point for deception on both sides? The business and those who have the fake profiles. Truly laughable!

I have been a member of OKCupid for a long time. But recently, I have been propagated by their constant messages to write to people. I wrote a few messages in kind asking about hobbies and interests and was involved with a few new friends about life and fun things to do. Then I was suspended. I have not lied about my age or details. Unfortunately, they suspended me for no reason. I have been polite and honest about my nature in my profile and messages. I joined OKCupid to make friends, as I did. But they took away my friends by blocking me. I deeply feel remorse and discriminated by OKCupid. For no apparent reason they have subjected me to being suspended.
It is a wide known fact that many dating sites are affiliated with racism within their comprehensive organizations. I feel OKcupid and some other of these dating sites harvest personal data and promote ethnopluralism within society. I have been constantly writing to them to discuss what the reason is they did that, but have not replied at all. Nonetheless, they have electronically been asking for my IP address which they are able to furthermore manipulate within society for the propagation of their biased propaganda within society.

Very questionable. In all ways. The quality of men is not there. In fact the scammers are more polite than the men and the scammers are there by the ton. They are pretty obvious and not quite intelligent due to the fact that their stories are all the same. It obvious as well that their English is poor. Do not send money. Men tend to not read your profile either. Not worth the aggravation. I will stay single.

OKC has over the years, "allowed," scientific research sites to scrape data from profiles. Your profile content, pics, questions, all up for grabs/scraping. That's been reported on. Why would their site "questions" (which they encourage users to answer) and multiple choice answers be designed the way they are? Hm? I wonder. I've used the site for years. Waste of time. For users.

I hate the fact that most of the people are only looking for hookups/FWB &/or new friends. What happened to dating leading into marriage?
I also can’t stand the fact when I click anywhere you guys don’t have an option for people living in the United States only. Why? Because I’m not going to date someone in Africa, Asia, or Europe or any other country outside the U.S. I’d recommend any other site other than this one & I want a refund.

I notice on this particular site lots of people complained about not enough people meeting their criteria in their area... Alas that is how it goes unfortunately and an app is hardly at fault for certain areas of a country not using the app as much as another city or state (province in my case). I met the man of my dreams on OkCupid.com... That is to say I also met A LOT OF FROGS. This app allows upstanding users to moderate and keep their dating community safe by filtering through flags and complaints and basically enough votes to block and remove a person for good from the app because of violent, disrespectful, unsolicited highly sexualized comments (UNSOLICITED l the keyword here).
All in all, the apps questions allow very in depth look into someone who answers honestly, great selection so long as you include to look beyond the 4 walls of your city... And like all dating apps, come the table with skepticism and SAFE online dating practices and know what you're looking for instead of expecting it to just fall in your lap. OkCupid.com is my #1 referral for my friends. It was the only app I used.

I find this site reasonably straightforward. I do not pay money for A list, likes or anything like that. I read the profiles and respond if I think I might like the person or if they seem interesting and they might like me. I am single, live alone, never married. One half of the men on this site who describe themselves as “single” are “separated” (still married) or “single” but living together or in long term relationships. Also, I live in Manhattan and am looking for a NYC guy. Lots of guys say they live here (in their profile) but they actually just visit here from time to time and live in New Jersey, Upstate NY or Long Island. Or they used to live here, were born here or work here. They live 50-150 or even 3,000 miles away. So the problem is mainly with the people, not the site itself.
Also, a lot of really not too attractive men here very hung up on a woman’s age. Honestly, these are unhealthy men who I would not normally date (high blood pressure, diabetic, quite overweight, high cholesterol) who will only date younger girls. They do not have much luck with younger girls and consider my age “old” (although they tell me how attractive I am, nice figure, fun to be with, etc.). Also, few of the men I have dated have ever done so much as buy me a drink. On the 2 occasions this happened the men were all over me like an octopus (1st date and second date).
All in all, not yet met any good matches on this site. However, I do not think that by and large there is any problem with this “free” site except for a lot of the weird guys who post there. Mostly weird matches (they live out of town and/or are not “free”). The other thing I have found a little disturbing is how cheap these so many of the guys who make a lot of money are. I usually pay for my own drinks and food. After a while they want to get cozy. There’s nothing “romantic” about going on expensive Dutch treats with strange, unsuitable men. One date and I’m done.
If it costs me $60 to find out the guy is really not right for me at all, well that is the real “price” of this site. Too cheap, expects sex after one dinner, etc. No dating etiquette at all. And these are men with money. Oh well - I just go to the places I like if the guy wants to go there, fine. If he wants to treat me fine, so long as he does not grope me throughout dinner. Not exactly the most tactful group of daters on this site. Plus, some of them forgot to shave, put on a clean shirt and brush their teeth. Not too well versed in the art of dating, but there are one or two keepers out there for me I am sure, so I keep going out with a man every month or two, if I am in an adventure mood.

They are particularly horrible in deception, choices in my area and have no customer service. They all say "free" with Online dating services. This we know but the blatant deception of it not being free is particularly pronounced. You really don't know that you'll get nothing in the way of "likes" until you pay. It hides this one basic fact along with emails and communication. This is North America and within every claim, there is an embedded lie in every product, service, and hamburger. OkCupid is masterly at this.
The website is clunky and poorly put together. You cannot isolate photos, which is one of the mainstays of this kind of service. The paid for features are basically unknown until you work a drop-down that says "Purchase Lists". Being such an odd description, I passed it but. What is purchasing a list? This is my main problem; they double charged me and I want that reversed and as a matter of my preference, I don't want to engage with this site whatsoever.
My bank alerted to "suspicious activity" with my credit card. This was the way I knew that they even have a faulty charging system. I emailed after looking for a customer service phone number and there was a lie posted; "due to the scammers, we have no phone contact number". IF it is tightly controlled as to charges, there should be a way to establish to whom they are speaking and could have easily set up accounts with a few questions that each customer would only know. I've emailed them —no answer. Again, I was double-charged! MONEY! It is not even a good site for picks in my area. Their questions for your profile are okay but OkCupid is on another dating site and take note, the picks are not good, they might be for your area but I would definitely go with something "more professional".

I actually liked this dating site and was a paid subscriber for nearly 4 years. I mostly used it like an online crossword puzzle, basically I just answered all the dating questions and gave funny explanations to amuse myself. I only had brief conversations (small talk) with a few women and I wasn't seriously trying to make anything happen. Then last year I met someone on there and we clicked immediately and started dating briefly. She broke up with me suddenly to go back to her ex-boyfriend and I wished her well. I saw her back on the site several months later and we started dating again. This time she started having wild mood swings and paranoid jealous rages.
After she cooled down one of the times she informed me that she was schizophrenic and would have persecutorial delusions of me being this cheating type and any little thing I say or do might trigger the delusions. One of the things I had done to trigger her delusions was I had forgotten to disable my OKCupid account when we started dating. This seemed pretty reasonable to me, so I disabled my account in front of her and even offered to show her my brief conversations with other women. I tried to continue dating her despite her mental health issues, but all this same crazy stuff kept coming up over and over in a short span of time and we eventually broke up. So afterwards I decided to go see what was happening on OKCupid.
When I tried to login I kept getting this message that "We’re having technical difficulties, try again later". At first I thought I may have forgotten my password and I tried to do a password reset. I never got a response. Finally, I found this really cheesy technical support form that you can send into them that they mention may or may not get a response. After 2 days I did get the following email back from them:
"You were reported for harassing users. We have reviewed your account history and you have been blacklisted for behavior that violates our Terms of Service. Your account and photos have been removed from public view. We don't issue refunds for accounts that were banned for TOS violations. This was clarified in the Terms and Conditions you agreed to when you joined the site. Here is a link to our Terms and Conditions statement, in case you'd like to review it: **. If you've subscribed with the App Store: Unfortunately, iTunes does not permit us to cancel subscriptions or issue refunds for iTunes payments. Please contact them directly, or follow these instructions to cancel your ongoing subscription: **. We consider this matter resolved."
So apparently I was harassing someone from my completely inactive account. I got no warning, no suspension, no reason other than them saying "You were reported for harassing users". I can only assume that the girl I had been previously dating had reported me for harassment in one of her jealous rages. This is something I definitely think a dating site should take seriously, but they should at least have some kind of proof that the accused person is actually doing something. Or was at least active on their site.
If you would have asked me to review them several weeks ago, I would have given them a very high rating. Unfortunately this is a very unacceptable way to treat any customer. If I would have bothered to read any of the reviews on this site, the BBB, and other similar consumer review/protection publications I would never have given them any money and might not have even signed up for the free service. I hope I save some of you the frustration. They have made me a victim of harassment in the name of protecting people from harassment. I consider this matter resolved.

OKC before it was purchased by Match.com was a fairly good website and from experience was useful in meeting new people for friendships and relationship but since Match purchased it and have made all these changes the website is absolutely a waste of time. I'll list several examples below: First off about 50% of EVERY profile you see is FAKE! This gets obvious the more you dig in and give it a try. If you like someone and they like you back all of a sudden they completely disappear unless you BOOKMARK them or write them. If you write them a letter and they haven't yet liked you they will never know you wrote them so your letter and your effort goes unnoticed.
In addition if they do like you and you decide to write them a message the chances are about 95% of those messages are not personal whatsoever and the respondent NEVER replies to any questions you may have asked them and my only conclusion is that someone in another country is working these replies because most the time the sentences and grammar are so NON American it's obvious.
Fake likes are all too obvious. Once in a while you'll receive a notification stating that someone has liked you. If you open to see who it is it either takes you to the browsing mode and or it will take you to a profile that has 1 photo of a bird, a dog, a skyline view or someone they know you would never like with absolutely NO summary or bio. This is the way they keep people signing back in so they can appear to have more active users than what there really is. Since OKC was purchased by Match this gave them the right to transfer photos and profile bios from one website to the other. Hence "fake profiles"! Nearly 50% or greater of all the profiles are people who once signed up and or deleted their profile or haven't used it in a very long time. (fake profiles).

I have recently joined OKCupid and was a paid premium member for 3 months. I received TONS of "likes" and direct messages so in this respect, the site was functioning for me. However, 2 days ago my account was arbitrarily suspended. My first email to their support resulted in an auto-reply telling me to log in with another device. Did that, got an error message stating "technical difficulties". My second email to support was replied with a seemingly generic response stating that I had violated their terms of service, that the matter was considered resolved and that I would not receive any refund whatsoever. I read their terms at length and find absolutely nothing that I violated.
I have found many forums on the web with similar complaints. Many people's accounts were suspended when a rejected stalker reported them - with NO due diligence on the part of OKCupid. I find this completely unacceptable and impersonal. Furthermore, their use of tracking measures is horrifying and they actually POST YOUR PROFILE ON SEPARATE SITES WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE OR PERMISSION! Outrageous. It is all hidden in their terms of service which took about half an hour to peruse.

OkCupid, which I used to like, is now useless. I used to be able to write women whom I found interesting. I actually enjoyed reading their profiles. I would write women the best letters I could and sometimes I’d hear back and sometimes I wouldn’t. And, sometimes, on rare occasion, women would write me out of the blue. (Yea!) However, women often prefer to let men make the first move (i.e., send the first message) and say so in their profiles. And I’m fine with that. But now, neither of these scenarios occur anymore. With the new messaging policy (2018) women cannot see my messages unless they have already liked my profile/photo(s).
So, if you write a message you have to hope the other person has “liked” you so you can see each other’s messages or hope the other is on the paid subscription A-list which allows them to see likes from others without having also liked them. (Yes, their policy is confusing. But the end result is straightforward - your messages won’t be seen.) But what really irked me today was that I got a message on my phone this evening saying someone liked me and sent me a message. When I logged on, there was no message in their new Conversations area. But I had one more new like. But I can’t see it unless I pay for A-list or “like” every single woman on OkC. BTW, don’t believe the Apple Store rating of 4.2. They have locked their rating so it wouldn’t change when customers protested their recent changes. Don’t waste your time. And, don’t go to Match.com since they bought OkC and have gutted it with their recent policy changes. Maybe eHarmony?

I apologize for my previous review. I had a misunderstanding of this app. The match questions help tremendously, I just didn't know how to rate them at first. There is a way to make the "deal breakers" high importance and make the irreverent questions irreverent. The "phantom account" I complained about finally did get deleted. Now that I'm using the app more I realize how amazing it really is. It's the best free dating app out there, in my opinion. The only app I've found that people actually use for serious dating. This can be used as a hookup app, but most users are looking for something real. Also, the security is better than any other dating app I've been on. You can have it set up for only users to find your profile.
Original Review: Oct. 6, 2017
My first complaint is the matching system. I took the time to answer 500 match questions. I only answered the questions I considered to be important (like religious views, political views, sexuality, etc.) The matches that were 90% (or higher) were not good matches after all. All of them had at least one deal breaker. The matching system needs work, to say the least. What would help is a way to mark questions as "deal breakers." If someone doesn't answer those questions to your preference, then your match percentage with them goes to 0. The way the matching system is now is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Good luck, you're going to need it.
My second complaint is how unsupervised the accounts are. I found an account that legit said in the self-summary that it was a "phantom account" and he/she was only there to stalk people. I reported this account 5 times in the last two months. OkCupid has yet to take this account down. Who knows how many more of those type of accounts are out there. I don't feel safe using OkCupid. It's too easy to make a fake account and OkCupid doesn't seem to care.

I had no intention of marrying him. He was about 500 lbs and a liar. He tried to fight with my son and tried to cause tension between me, my neighbors, the police.

I think I was very clear I didn't want to be his sugar mommy.
He pissed me off so much one day when I caught him in a lie after I found a job for him I decided to throw him out, changed the locks and put his clothes out on the step. Called ICE since he never renewed his VISA and was here illegally. I moved back to Florida and lived here for a while and decided to go back into politics. I was too busy to look at the IMs I received. I received one message which was extremely close to being crazy and after looking at this insane person's profile I know he was dangerous.

You may have opposite political views, age difference up to 30 years, be religious and non religious - still you both could be matched as little as 75%. Could it be real? There are very few members in your area - maybe 5-7 in a distance of 10 miles. And here are The News: they cancelled option to see - who is visiting your profile. How stupid. Is it professional?
For the site pretending to be Professional in relationships. Do they know - what flirt is? Seems they don't. Then how could they be Professional??? What is left there: you can see if someone liked you, but never know - who it was. Could you go and give a friendly glance in return (exactly how we do in reality) - you can't, you have no idea - who it was. Then what is the sense in such "game". I got their senses - whatever they do - they just make "professional" grimace on their face and push you to spend more and more money.

I was a frequent user of this site for several years, almost daily. I paid the monthly fee for their premium access (A-List). I was a moderator for inappropriate photos. My account was disabled. As others have noted, it is almost impossible to make contact with this company. I have been provided no rationale for their action nor have I been able to discuss the matter with anyone from the company. I still have a recurring charge for their service that will need to be canceled. My actions to date have been to file a complaint with the attorney general for the state of California. I have notified OKCupid of this action and mentioned my next step is to contact an attorney to discuss filing a class action lawsuit. I have yet to hear from OkCupid.

This is the best online dating site I tried, and I tried many over the years. It encourages long profile essays by providing profile sub-headings, and also encourages answering questions, both of which reveal a lot about someone's personality. OKCupid (OKC) provides an algorithm that lets you score how important different questions are to you, which in turn lets you narrow down potential matches. No other website I tried did this.
At this point, their monthly fees are low compared to industry average. Emails from potential scammers (IP address and specified city mismatch, I'm guessing) are flagged with a message warning of funds transfers. There are many users using OKC world-wide which means that there are many people to contact on a daily basis. Wish list: more transparent algorithm, return to client-authored-questions, being able to see a full list of matches as it appears that only a subset is shown at any one time (I believe this limitation is only in part due to some users wishing to only be displayed in match results while online). I'm a paying member of OKCupid, but occasionally use it as a free user.

I'm very wealthy & material things mean nothing to me. I just want an honest, loyal, long term relationship with someone I'm attracted to. According to OkCupid this is an impossible task. All I was shown were stout, unfit, fat & overweight women with no information about their education or any level of attainment. What a complete waste of time.

The Good: I loved the idea of "match percentages" and that I could browse invisibly. The price seemed reasonable, and I got a fair number of Likes and messages. I did chat with about 5 real people, with no success. The Bad: Catfishers. Everywhere. It was a total disappointment. If you must waste your time and money there, or if you've already signed up, let me give you some tips.
1) If a person answers exactly 15 questions (it must be the minimum for a match), even if they write a decent profile, they're probably not who they say they are. I noticed this many times. 2) If they ask you to "exchange contacts" (what American says that?) so they can get your email or phone number, ignore the request and block them. 3) If they're "away on business" or deployed, they are not real. They want your 'contacts' and/or your money. 4) If they text or call you at odd hours, even if you specify 'locals only', it's clear they don't know what time it is in your city; report them as a fake profile. Eventually, I dumped my membership like a hot rock. NOT WORTH YOUR TIME OR MONEY.

Just like with everything else, this website must be approached with caution. I HAVE actually met and dated real men from the site. It's not the website's fault that people are liars, cheaters, and scammers. One guy I met was an alcoholic who couldn't keep a job and was trying to get over a long-term girlfriend who had dumped him. He was charming and highly functional. For a couple of months.
Another was bisexual. We dated for maybe two or three months and then he had some kind of meltdown because I didn't have sex with him on a date. I told him I didn't want to see him anymore. I found out he was bisexual later, when a male friend (who is gay) ran across the guy I'd dated when he (my friend) responded to a craigslist ad. I began to do some digging and saw that the guy had ads posted on several sites on the internet, posting for sexual contact with other males. And he used the SAME online name (and photos) on all the sites. Frightening because he had two minor children living at home that I suspected he'd taken from their mom in the divorce by coercion.
In another instance, I went on one date with a guy. Totally legit on paper. Self-made business owner. Not bad looking but short (which he was honest about in his profile). Jeans and a polo-style shirt but expensive material. Lunch at a fairly ritzy restaurant. He drove me back to my car in his expensive car. Cool... The next day he texted me, asking if I wanted to come over to snuggle and watch a movie. Not cool.
The most recent guy I met on the site has become a good friend. We e-mailed on OKC for several months then he decided he was getting off because he was having no luck and he said he was tired of seeing all the weapons and naked pics. He lives several hours away and we e-mail frequently. Nothing romantic, just good-friend stuff about our lives.
Like others have mentioned, I have had a few issues with the "moderators" and the site in general. Currently I'm having a problem changing my e-mail address. In the past, I received an e-mail about photos I had posted. But I knew who did it and why. A guy I had been e-mailing with who seemed cool requested my phone number. During our one conversation, he began making bigoted comments about the LGBT community. That was unacceptable to me and I told him so. He got mad and began ranting and raving. I told him I no longer wanted to continue the conversation. After I ended the call, I blocked him online and on my phone. A few days later, I got the e-mail about my photos.
In the years that I've been doing online dating, OKC has been the least active for me in terms of actually meeting people in person but again, it's not the site's fault. I am and have always been a free member so I can't speak on the comments I've seen about monetary issues. My advice to everyone is to proceed with caution and use common sense when dealing with anyone you meet online.

This person had carried on conversations with 7 unsuspecting females. I had tried to contact OkCupid to inform them. I filled out their online form and informed them. They are not responsive. I did a Google search and found info@okcupid.com and send an email. That is not a valid email address. There just seems to be no way to contact OkCupid. And since they are non-responsive, I had to take matters into my own hands.
I did want to but clicked on the link in the welcome email. I saw the profiles created using my name and email, as well as all the fake information and multiple conversations this person has been carrying out posing as me. I replaced all the information (some you cannot edit, like the name) this person posted with a warning message that this account is fake and the person is catfishing. I viewed all the conversations this person had in the past few days and replied to each person personally - telling them they have been scammed.
It is appalling to me that OkCupid does not have the safety of its members as a priority. Firstly it is almost impossible to contact them.

I was on okc for a year. I received the infamous email where they allow you access to better looking guys. I learned a lot on this site, and none of it good. Everyone who pays for online dating is nothing more than a commodity to these companies and as consumers we know that, but on okc if you're female you are especially treated as a commodity, but as a consumer, ladies you are not getting what you pay for.
Okc has members they hand select as watchdogs to report on inappropriate profiles, mainly photos. Most of the watchdogs are men, and I cannot count the number of male profile pics I saw that were inappropriate and remained on site for months and months, besides that, about 20% of male profile pics are of cars, trucks, motorcycles, and landscape photos. I decided to post my main profile as a sunset to slow down the unwanted messages since okc would not provide me their incognito service, as a woman if you don't have your face up front and center, you are basically ignored, so with my sunset photo as my profile pic, I was flagged immediately by a watchdog as having an inappropriate photo, and okc removed it.
I paid for incognito so I could search through profiles privately, they took my six month payment for incognito at 19.99 a month, that's 120.00, and okc applied it to a continued membership instead, not allowing me to go incognito. I contacted them over 7 times without a response. Turned it over to my charge card company. If you still want to take on the grief of okc, don't do it unless you live in highly populated area. KC is not a small town, but there wasn't much to choose from on that site for men in KC. I'm in my 40s.
I received a lot of angry messages, my profile was nice, my photos were nice, but I was instantly attacked on the site; "someone like you would walk right by me if you saw me out somewhere and you'd look at me like I didn't exist", "I read your profile, you're probably a stuck up b", not to mention all of the vulgar comments, which I won't repeat here. I had a date, one date, and not local, it was close enough for weekend dating, it didn't work out thankfully. He was a serial dater, alcoholic drug addict. Looked 15 years older than all of his photos, desperately trying to hide that fact when we met face to face.

That was VERBATIM what I had received. I go in to login to my account, and guess what? I STILL CANNOT LOGIN TO IT LIKE THEY PROMISED! I have sent them one final email begging them to set things right because I don't want to lose contact with those people. (I work long hours, and I wasn't able to get my info to them right away.) I am pretty much done with their website. I am still hurt, still upset, and still hoping to find someone that will enjoy my company starting as friends and moving to something more. If that is inappropriate, then they can keep their site.

2 parts. Many men from other country emailing you telling you they love me. They never meet me. Nuts. Then they asked for money to come see me. They say they working on a job on a rig in the middle of the ocean, they send you pictures to prove it but they're not in picture and they will retire soon and they need money to come home. Their money on shore in the states and they will give it back in return and they have a child, dead wife. Living with grandma. Same sorry story after the other.
Second, same ** with the military. I called 2 guys bluffs, my brother overseas and I said you're allowed phone calls Skype though base and money allowed there for fun and to travel when off duty, also the army pays for your safe return off. You can also tell them you spoke to the military CID unit which is their FBI there and they run so fast. Also guys say they want to get married but just want fast hookups. Not for me. I rather go to a club and meet a real live guy the old way. I got off site.
