Reviews of OkCupid

I joined this rancid site because a good friend recommended it to me.After sending about 20 emails one girl replayed back.At first we talked threw email than after a month we talked over phone.By now we have traded pictures and started to connect so i felt pretty confident about her. Finally she decides she would like to meet me and i drive to Riverside to meet her.When i meet her she is nothing at all like the pictures she posted or sent me.In the pictures she sent me she was a pretty thin Latin girl with beautiful green eye's.When i meet her she weighs approx 300lbs and smelled like she hadn't taken a shower in about a week.Her eyes where brown and she was white.After this horrible experience i decided to delete my account and join match.com where people are actually normal and don't miss represent them self's to be someone that there not.If anyone is reading this my best advice is to go to a quality pay site where people are serious about meeting other people.

Many (hundreds) of the profiles on okcupid look suspiciously like they were created by OKC staff, not real members. Sure looked to me like they're employing dishonest practices to boost their ratings. So if you message someone and don't get a reply, the reason might be that person doesn't actually exist.

Pathetic. Zero stars. First they hit you with 1000 stupid multiple choice questions, most of which don't offer the answer you would choose, if you were given a choice. You're forced to pick one of their idiotic answers, which makes you look like a freak.

Second, the women aren't there to date, they only join to bicker endlessly in the forums. They spend more time arguing about the pros and cons of bestiality than trying to learn what men want. They're all nuts. In 3 months I met only one woman who seemed cool. Then suddenly she announced in her profile she wants a sex change operation because she's never been happy as a female.

The site is owned and operated by gay men in San Fransisco or San Diego. What does that tell you? They don't have a clue what straight men want! If you're a heterosexual man, their match system will hook you up with transgenders! Unless you're gay, lesbian or like dating shemales, stay away!

It's okay, but honestly I don't think alot of the people on there know what they want. Either that or they have ulterior motives. It's more fun for the personality assessments, and less for the actual matches. Plus I keep getting messages from random uninteresting guys who just want to chat, not to mention older men who seem to think they can have any girl they want. Lmao I've had better!

It's ok, not the best, not the worst. The quizzes are fun, gives you something to do instead of just browsing profiles. I went on one date with a guy. He wasnt a bad guy, just not my type. The only problem I have with it is the lack of available men in my area. Also, anyone can email you. I got emails from gay women, sorry but thats not my thing, maybe they should try to find another gay woman to talk to and not someone whose straight and they would never have a chance with!

Complete waste of time.

The women on this site are only in it for the "chick crack" - the quizzes and tests. Since it's free, it's a great way for them to kill time. If they have an even remotely decent picture, they will get showered in attention. If you're a guy on there with a really good photo, maybe they'll respond. Otherwise, they don't take the dating aspect of the site seriously at all. It might as well be Hotornot.

Even when you do get responses, good luck getting them to meet with you. I spent over three weeks talking to a girl through the site's messaging and IM features. After we talked for a while, she provided her phone number without hesitation. Our conversations were civil, fun, and positive. One call, a voicemail, and a text a few days later went unanswered. Several others girls agreed to meet up but canceled at the last minute. These weren't dates, I just asked them for 15 minutes at a Starbucks to see if we were compatible or not. That's not asking much.

There was no deception, and I wasn't on there just for a hook up. I guess I'm the sucker for trying to use it to meet women. You get what you pay for.

Let me ask you these questions before you make an Okcupid account: Are you a Indie/Emo-Scene kid? Are your tastes in movies, tv, books, and food on a level only a few can relate to? Do you make references to horrible Emo music or some book/indie movie? Do you think Questionable Content is a great webcomic? Do you need so much attention not even your partner can provide it for you? If you answered “no” to any of these questions, this is not the site for you. Depending on where you live, chances are you’re not going to click/date anyone. I used it when I lived a few minutes away from Philadelphia, and my matches consisted of Hipsters, or people who couldn't hold a decent conversation without being a jerk or a moron. People also love to brag about being geeks on their profiles for some reason (80 out of 100 profiles will mentioned something about being a nerd/geek). I wouldn’t use it for serious dating if you’re over 21-23, and even as a networking site you can do much better with Facebook.

I like okcupid. It has its problems, such as the inability to search for a person based on what they're looking for "friends, long term dating, etc." and the inability to search by body type. This makes the number of photos that someone has up all the more important. But the people on it, by and large, are fun. I've met three girls. One was terrible. Another I became friends with, and a third I dated for a few months. So I'm not about to badmouth it. One thing to watch out for is the fake profilers. It's not that okcupid pays people to flirt with you, because I don't think they do. It's that people will put up a fake profile to mess with other members. It's annoying and I wish that they would crack down on them. But beyond that I recommend okcupid.

I think OkCupid is a scientology scam. I don't necessarily think everyone on it is a scientologist. They have a quiz to 'match' you with members. There's something really off with this quiz. I took it several times, answering different ways and got the same analysis - mostly that I was lonely. Some of the questions were extremely personal and/or strange: would you have an abortion if the father didn't know, do you think Scientology is a dangerous cult, where do you think human beings came from ('from alien beings from the stars' is an answer). The first question is always 'would you date an atheist' (I would), which seems a little odd. Also, all the men are far too good looking. I mean ALL. I got a wink from a guy in LA who looks like a model, and I didn't even put up a photo. I call shenanigans.

It's a fun little site. You know if you are bored and want to fill out online tests and stuff. Umm its more of a hook up site though, I can't see any real relationships being formed off the site. I mean just look at the forums for proof.
