OkCupid used to have a bunch of blog posts with numbers about how much a difference a good profile and good pictures make, but I think they took them down when Match bought them out. I haven't been on any dating sites in a few years but the amount of people with garbage profiles and bad pictures (lighting / posture being the biggest and easiest issues to fix) is crazy high.
- breather 3y agoOkCupid used to be the best because they actually tried to match you up on common interests and relevant dating questions. Last I heard that had been ripped out and it was just another tinder clone emphasizing photos and swiping. Should be a crime to ruin an app that useful.
- Spastche 3y agolast time I was on it, the questions had been de-emphasized and it seemed more like a tinder clone. hopefully a better version of it comes along someday, it's a valid idea (matches based on quizzes)
- freeAgent 3y agoThat’s extremely disappointing. The questions were both entertaining in and of themselves and also extremely helpful as a filtering and sorting mechanism. I don’t know why they’d want to de-emphasize or eliminate the best part of OKC. That’s what OKC used to be about!
- Sohcahtoa82 3y agoOkCupid was indeed the absolute best. The questions thing made it possible to see answers to dealbreakers before ever sending a message. I met my current wife on OkCupid back in 2010. It was great. My big deal breakers were that I wanted a non-smoker that didn't want kids. OkCupid matched us at like 98%, and having now been together for 14 years, I'd say that match was pretty spot on.
