OKCupid

this site is awful, or maybe the users are just awful, no matter how detailed you profile is, no matter how many likes you send, no matter how many messages you send, you never get a reply Show details

Avoid if you live in Australia...A scam..Said I had 17 likes and I filled in only with in 100kms..then paid a month and found out none in Australia all overseas..then checked and they had set it up to take out $60 per month without letting me know..Very sleazy unethical way to operate...I then cancelled automatic monthly payments...be wary of this company scamming you to join.... Show details

I really don't feel comfortable with a freaking app asking me about my preferences with sexual acts and then publicly displaying my answer to stranger men. Wth are you doing? Not all women want to be sexually harassed by stranger men and companies! The men on the app are mostly sexual predators, looking to use you for casual s#x, not love or connection. No boundaries anymore for no sexualised women in society.

Sometimes you strike gold – 5 and a half years ago my husband and I met on ok Cupid. We met on 13 April 2015 and were married on the 3rd of June 2015! Awesome! Show details

One of the best website designs, but not enough members – I really like the design of OkCupid, especially as it gives a wide range of options to select from in terms of gender identity, sexual orientation, and whether the person is interested in monogamy or non-monogamy. The Q&A section really helps to get a snapshot of people's relationship goals, values, worldview and political leanings which is valuable too. The only bad thing is that there aren't enough people on there. Show details

Probably amongst the best free on line and paid dating and friendship sites – Been on a lot of sites and tries quiet a few, even though the number of ladies from Australia and Sydney is very low there are a lot of ladies from over seas willing to chat and exchange details. In the first month I got over 93 likes and messages some were fakes but considering that these things happen on any social media this was very well run… Read more

and the site does have real members. Still talking to a few ladies and have contacts. Did not really try for more then one that I found very interesting. I am planning to go to Vietnam to meet her. The difference is this, Video chat after several messages and exchanged details Most ladies from other sites will not video chat and some can not even have their credential checked some even had fake Face book accounts. Porn stars and escorts used for profile photos by scam artists. Any site may have this but found that O K Cupid was cleaner by far then 90 % of the others. Even had scam artists report my profile (the woman was a fake offering a hook up but wanted a credit card verification) had over 170 scam artists attempts. And more then likely hack my accounts on several sites after reporting a few from another site. Over all O K Cupid is by far the best I have been on so far. I do enjoy testing and researching these sites. At times the sites are so cleverly designed that men and members usually waste a lot of money trying to meet the other members that some times do not exist.

Do yourself a favour and avoid this website. Used to be great - I'm sorry I never gave you a review back 15-20 years ago - met some lovely ladies on this site (the free version - meaning I guess I was paying with my data), and I remember it did actually used to work - meaning that you could meet people. 4-5 stars for back then. But… Read more

now....something has changed.

The feeling I get from this site now is that it is actively trying to prevent you from meeting people. Can I prove this? Not likely. But that is the feeling that I get.

Would you like to be presented time and time again with people you have already passed on? Would you like to be continually presented with people outside the age range you have specified? If you answered yes to any of the above questions this could be the site for you.

The app is cluttered with features nobody uses, making it needlessly complicated. Compared to Datemio, where connections happen instantly❤️and profiles are actually active, OkCupid just wastes your time. OkCupid's endless questionnaires and "matching algorithm" feel pointless when most matches never respond. The free version is practically useless… Read more

due to constant paywalls, and even paid features don’t deliver results. If you want real dates without the hassle, skip OkCupid and try others instead. Extremely disappointing.

Absolutely the most useless dating site! A waste of money. Entices you to pay for a subscription with instant likes and messages coming in, then once you pay, they seem to disappear. Very limited with your searches. Makes you keep adding information to your profile before it lets you refine your search more, but when you try to update your details, the page freezes on you! Absolute crap! A rip off! Show details

You guys are a freaking rip off scam site. I paid one month after setting up a profile and had all these likes (which are obviously fake) just to sign up. Screw you, you scum. I’m trying really hard to get my life together and you scam people like this. Screw off and die you low life scum morons. Show details

Manipulative practice - global likes to illicit payment – This app practices manipulation to entice a user into paying for service to block by distance and exposes your personal data to foreign countries! The business model uses likes from OTHER COUNTRIES which is not initally apparent. It thus tricks you into thinking you have local matches to pay to see the match. I find this practice encouraging… Read more

dishonest representation to prey on emotion to secure payment

This actually breaches my safety as I have a manipulative vindictive ex in another country whom has already made a defamation attempt verified by a lawyer.

This app leaves you feeling exposed and unsafe with photos and personal details available to foreign countries.

I was initially impressed with the app due to the depth but within a day or so of realizing what was actually happening with the likes I lost all trust and have deleted my account after days of registration. Disgusting!

On further investigation I found many other users have been complaining about this practice.

AVOID this app!

Dangerous low-quality site. It needs to be seriously investigated – There is no profile vetting, so scammers run rampant. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been asked for money on OkCupid. I’ve never been asked for cash or gifts on LoveUkrGirls since it’s a legit Ukrainian dating site. I should haven’t subscribed for OkCupid, but I was curious. As a result I just wasted money for the paid subscription. I… Read more

haven’t met any genuine woman on OKCupid. But my subscription was renewed against my consent at a much increased rate.

An expensive exercise in frustration; A place with attractive ghosts – You can't search, you set a preference, and get what OkCupid recommends. What they recommend could be out of your age range, far away, etc, etc. You have no idea when they were last on... it could have been years ago. They push going premium, to see who likes you, and I got hundreds of them... from continents away. And some of those… Read more

(naturally) were catfish.

I've liked many people. I've messaged many people. Not one response. I got 7 likes, in the Sydney region. Everything else was in Africa, Asia, etc.

They do seem to be good about filtering out fake profiles. They do seem to have many profiles... but based on my response rate... and that profiles are active for an average of 6 months... They're likely mostly inactive (and have been for a decade). Based on their recommendation algorithm, the The first people they recommend are attractive and local. And then it goes downhill from there.

There is a bug where if you don't like someone before you message them, then they dissapear. So the people that matched best... are gone. You can reset "passes", but the people who you messaged without liking... gone.

Their online app has been modified to work like Tinder, emphasizing that first photo. That's not a great determinant of a LTR.

If you try them, I'd suggest doing it for a short period, and seeing if there is any interest... because you may find that it's a ghost town.

Falsely advertised – This site is not free. You dont get to see mail sent nor received. Barely any members within your own vicinity even if you extend preference. Its all based on what package you pay for. Very disappointing and this site ought to be honest and state NOT FREE! Show details

Completely Useless – This site is dishonest, unethical and hopeless. Stay clear of these money grabbing lowlifes. Ai-bot and fake profiles Ok Cupid-Match.com are thieves and sell your information to use against you. Show details

mostly fake – The profiles that liked me (a guy) from my region are all fake. They look like workers for the website who constantly change their location and just make fake contacts. Australia government should sue these scammers. Show details

OK Cupid admit their algorithm resends you matches you have already passed on – I sometimes get an email displaying potential new matches on OK Cupid. If might click to see a match 3 times a week, and each time I might see 1-2 new matches. Any further time spent on OK Cupid is wasted passing on matches I have already clicked "pass" on. After questioning OK Cupid about this, they responded: "Once you have passed on people… Read more

outside of your preferences the app will reuse users that you have already passed on. This is just how our algorithm works, and the only resolution we have for this is to block them or update your preferences."

I guess their theory is it somehow reduces the user experience or gamification of OK Cupid if you see only a handful of new matches per week.

Incorrect excessive charging. A total waste of time and money – This used to be a good dating sight but is now run by crooks! I thought that I was paying $59 for 1 month upgrade but was actually charged $120 USD for 3 months which turns out to be $182.88 AUD. There are very few Australians on this site so within 2 weeks I contacted all the eligible women in my age group. A total waste of time and money. Tinder, POF and Bumble were better, but don't waste money on the paid options. Show details

Garbage – 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… Read more

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.

No good in Australia – There are not enough Australians to make this a viable app in Australia. Waste of time really. I am not interested is poor foreign girls. Not worth getting this app in Australia. Show details

This is not an honest app surprise surprise – As a member I had a few likes which was nice, I made a few connections , but the day after my membership expired - a miracle happened, I got 30 likes and I’m constantly being promoted to pay to see my magical likes .. 100% shady - I’m not saying you can’t meet people on it, but they system is rigged to twitch inaccurate information to try and text you to renew memberships …. Disgusting - do not give them money Just my advise Show details

full of scammers ; – adminstrator never bother filter scammers and probably they speculate send attention your profile by scaammers to attract you upgrade, Even you report the scmammers they appear with differ name but same photo after few days ; I suggest dont spend time and money for this site until they aware protect customer rights Show details

Misleading – Acquired 50 matches within 36 hours on basic account, having spent time to add detail and photos and answer questions. Paid for subscription, only to find out that all but two of the 'matches' live in Kenya, Indonesia or Philippines - you can't filter by location until you get through the paywall. After that I spent an hour or so swiping away and… Read more

found a number of bots/fake accounts (not as prolific as Match though) and that a high proportion of the remaining users were simply flogging their Instagram. To their credit they gave me a refund when I told them about the experience, so with any luck they're putting my feedback into their development team to prevent similar experiences.

Terrible (with eventual improvement) – Paid for so-called premium. The site could not verify my phone and so I was unable to message anyone. Multiple emails to support went unanswered. Have been waiting over a week for some kind of response. If you would like to be theived on, send your money to OKCupid. Edit: This issue was eventually resolved after a couple of weeks. I had to contact support multiple times.

Okcupid is a scam! – Hello Everyone, One of the most manipulative website and app is Okcupid. Here is the reason why. I signed up and made sure the only people that can see my profile are in the 50 miles radios. In less than one day I got more than 150 likes and guess what I couldn't believe it. But I figured to give it a try. I upgraded, and the next thing I noticed… Read more

is most of the likes i got were from far away countries. They were all fake profiles from India, Nigeria, Mexico and the list goes on. Well now you know, they will trick you to upgrade by making fake profiles from other countries to like you. Shame on you!

Tip for consumers: Okcupid is a scam! people who sign up need to know that the likes they get are most likely fake.

Without fear of contradiction the WORST of all dating sites – OK Cupid use to be quite OK a few years ago, but now it is totally the domain of scammers AND very deceitful practices from OK Cupid themselves. I joined, loaded up my pictures, and within 10 minutes I received like after like, twelve likes in ten minutes. The catch is, you can't see who likes you until you pay. So I pay and ALL the likes were… Read more

from Indonesia. It was a scam from OK Cupid to get me to pay for membership. And then what do you know? Once I paid membership there are no more likes. Coincidence? I think not! Now, having been on OK Cupid for one week the seldom likes I do receive are from Kenya or Indonesia or from Brazilian saying they live local to me. This " local" Brazilian was VERY quick to give me her Whatsapp phone details, I checked the area code and the phone number is from Brazil. Of all the sites OK Cupid is the BIGGEST SCAM OF ALL

Abysmal, thieving site – * Charged me more than set cost * Instant hidden costs (need to pay more to actually start a conversation) * No after sales service. * In short, avoid this site like the plague  Show details

Another fake site – So many fakes, scammers and catfish on this site! Not to mention OKC want you to pay for a membership so in their wisdom they heavily restrict what you can use for free. Not sure how that inspires me to want to buy a membership! Show details

Very few Australians – This app has very few Australians on it. I get lots of likes from people overseas, mainly America but very rarely see any Australian men as matches let alone any in the area where I live. I feel like I have wasted my money. Show details

Not Good – OkCupid is not a Good Dating Site Plenty of Likes but No Matches Always Asking to pay Money to look at People that like you Very Disappointing Hopefully This Dating Site Good Improve some things
