I'm surprised to see all the negativity towards this. If I was single, I'd be signing up right now. The biggest objection seems to be that OkCupid is like a buffet, and now they're being asked to eat at a restaurant where the chef interviews you and brings you what he thinks you'll like. If the buffet was working great for them, I can see why they'd object to the change. OkCupid wasn't so great back when I used it though. I'd send out many messages (personal, customized ones -- not spam) and get next-to-no replies. It felt like I was spinning my wheels and going nowhere. Were my opening messages poorly written? Did my profile need work? Maybe. But that's why I think I'd benefit from having a professional matchmaker, who's a better writer than I am and can present me in the best possible light.
