It's been about a decade since I last used OKCupid but I remember really enjoying it. Wacky quizzes and questions, fun usernames, long profiles, trying to find people who had both a high match percentage and enemy percentage for potentially hilarious but exhausting conversations and dates, etc.
Sad to hear that now it's a Tinder clone with swiping, forced real names, short profiles for mobile, and such.
- stevekemp 5y agoSpeaking as somebody who met his wife on OKCupid, 10+ years ago, a lot of that stuff has now gone away. You can write a long profile, but in order to message somebody you have to match tinder-style. The quizzes are gone, the interests are gone, and the journals are gone too. (There is the ability to send an "intro" message, which shows up to people who haven't matched, but it is hard to discover as a recipient.) Where I am there are way way way more people on Tinder as a result I think.
