Could have been different experiences, or could have been different timeframes. It has changed a lot. Last time I looked a few years ago, it was very offputting and not at all interesting. But I gather they do keep changing it, so who knows what it's like now. In my experience, which was pre-2007, OkCupid is the only social media site where I've ended up meeting people and where I first encounted people who would become new friends. It was uncanny how it also ranked me very highly with people I already knew though. I had many chats on there with both males and females. It's true that most didn't reply, and I did receive some unsavoury approaches, but some were interesting conversations, and as I said, I met a few people IRL. Nothing sexual though. By comparison, Facebook is supposed to be social media, but I don't thikn I've ever struck up a decent conversation or friendship on Facebook with someone I didn't already know from elsewhere.
