OkCupid Will Let Users Pay To Promote Themselves
Just about 24 hours ago, OkCupid quietly launched a feature it plans to formalize — and publicize widely — in the next few weeks: an optional $2 fee that lets users who pay it “promote” themselves across the site. OkCupid has otherwise largely been as democratic as it is possible for a dating site to be — it’s free to use (though users can become “A-list” members, able to view t ... [...]
people need to stop blaming the website for their own bad luck
It's free, the profiles are real, and the service is well run. Every paid site I have tried has been a scam - other members can't reply unless they pay, profiles are fake, they don't show you how long it's been since the person has been active (because they want to create the illusion of more active members than they have)
This site let's you search by how long it's been since someone was on or how new they are to the site. And you can "hide" profiles from your search so you don't have to keep wading through profiles you're not interested in.
As for all the negative reviews here, these people are whiners. If women aren't writing you back IT'S BECAUSE THEY AREN'T INTERESTED. If you meet someone who turns out to be a psycho IT'S NOT THE SITE'S FAULT, it's your fault for not being picky. And if the selection of people isn't as good as you think it should be, that's not the site's fault either!
This site does what it's supposed to do - features real profiles of currently active members you can easily contact. The first time you're on it can be a little time-consuming going through all the profiles of active members. But after that all you have to do is search for new members to stay updated.
Pros
- profiles are real
- totally free
- shows you how long it's been since they were online so you're only contacting active members
- large number of members
- Allows you to hide profiles you're not interested in so you don't have to wade though them every time.
Cons
None come to mind.
good site
I have been on this site for a little under a year and I have never been messaged by a scammer.
Pros
Really easy to use
Cons
I don't think there are any
OKC is Excellent
I'm a decent looking guy, prob a 7 or 8 on 1-10 scale, but at 50 am in excellent shape. I average 40 to 50 views a week on OKC and have gotten at least a dozen dates in about 3 months with excellent, witty, beautiful, and intelligent woman. The site caters to all, and not once have I met up with or detected a scammer. After trying Match, POF, Zoosk, and a few other sites, this one ranks head and shoulders above the rest, especially when it comes to not having to deal with scammers. Guys and girls, if you've been doing this e-dating thing at all, you know what I mean when it comes to the scammers. With their unique match percentage rating system, Q&As (thousands!!) and tests, its also a fun site. By far the best free site. I would choose it over the half dozen pay sites I tried, including e-Harmony. Good luck!
Pros
Match percentage, Q&As, Tests, search functions, fun! Large population, ability to edit anything, anytime.
Cons
None that I can think of.
Good site to join!
I have been on this site for about 5 months, and have talked to a large number of nice women. Some I have dated, some I have not. I did meet a wonderful woman who was terrific. We dated for a few months and had a great time, but She met someone else. that is the dating world. but OK Cupid IS legit, and free. I'm back on it again!
Pros
Real women, free
Cons
none
Not bad
Unlike most sites, this one is far better at finding relevant people and not a selection of random people, 95% of who are completely terrible. It is also free. The only real issue is that when sending a message, you will just about never get a reply from anyone, even if active.
Pros
-Has an actual matching system
-Free
-Lots of members
Cons
-You will get fairly few replies
