I've had mixed experiences with OKC. On one hand it got me a handful of dates while I was looking locally in the states. On the other hand, I moved to Iceland and their international search options go from "Everyone within 500 miles" to "The entire world, with no ability to filter by country" and those options just don't work in Iceland (unless you match with someone in Reykjavik, maybe).
TBF, I did still connect with a couple people even with those options, but that's more because I pulled the slot machine lever enough than a credit to them. I wish they had better international options, even if they were locked behind the paid tier.
IIRC eHarmony didn't work either because it didn't even acknowledge Iceland as a place you could be, so I guess OKC has that leg up on them at least.
- karatinversion 4y agoI’m curious what you think a good behaviour would have been? I’ve never used dating apps, but it seems to me that once you move to an island with the population of Cleveland, Ohio, your dating pool is limited to that island…
- indigochill 4y agoMostly yes, but my two most successful dating relationships (both met on OKC!) while on said island were long-distance. So not exclusively. Mostly I'd like the ability to signal to the algorithm "I'm willing to consider relocating to these particular places if I meet someone who lives there."
