That really suprised me lol

My bio was removed, the same bio I’ve had for two years with no warning. I am not allowed to have any bio now, and when I appealed they confirmed that it is permanent. F this app. If you wonder why there’s not many women on it this is why.

This has happened twice to me in the past two weeks, and it’s strange enough I thought I’d bring it up here.

Two times, I liked a profile and sent a message along with the like. A week or so later, they both matched with me. But what’s weird is, OKC gives me the “it’s your turn” sign, despite them never messaging me. And when I look at the intros I sent them, OKC has them both labeled “unread”.

General glitchiness? Fake profiles? I can’t figure it.

Was talking to a girl and then all of a sudden I get this message. Can still send messages in our chat thread but every time I load our thread I get this notification at the top. Did she block me? Too much of a coincidence because the minute I tell her something I suspect turned her off I start seeing the error message . I don’t get the message on the computer when I log in. What’s going on?

Had someone I talked to a few months ago on OKC be suggested as a friend. Anyone else have this happen?

anyone having this problem? okc needs a phone number for first login after years, managed to deactivate but can't get pass the sms code, getting "Something went wrong, please try again later" for the past 2 days

I swear this app gets worse by the day. My latest issue: I liked a bunch of profiles, then went into the "you like" tab and messaged anyone with the little green "online now" dot (so I know I'm not wasting my time writing to inactive profiles). It used to be that these profiles would then disappear from the "you like" tab, because now I've messaged them there's nothing I can do unless they reply.

But now the profiles still show in there, and it even offers me the option to message them. So now I have no idea if my messages have gone through, if anyone is seeing them, or if my message has just disappeared into the ether.

If I open OKC on my laptop, the messages show when I check the profile, but not on the app.

Anyone else noticed this?

Every day I feel like they're actively trying to make the user experience as awful as possible. 🙃

How am I supposed to find or match with people when I don't even know who likes me without paying 53 Canadian a month?

Is height the problem?

Im getting this screen now and I've tried logging out and in again. Nothing seems to fix it. Anyone had this before?

downloaded the app lit today and im so daunted. i see some intros pop up that im interested in, but idk how to reply. i cant like them as im a free user. is there any way to reply as a free user? detailed descriptions much appreciated, im pretty slow

So I have been talking to this guy for about a week and 2 days, the conversation has been so good back and forth and he seems to like it and so am i ,I asked him why he joined the app and he said he wants to meet new people and if all goes well a long term relationship that will result into a family one day but this guy has not opened up to me that he wants to date me .the question is can I tell him that i want us to leave the app and use other platforms so as we can get to know ourselves properly like through a video call

Hi! I’m a Filipina who’s using this OKC for few months. Not a usual Filipina who’s gonna ask you for money or whatever. Lol. Reading through the post in here, is it really an issue if ya’ll get likes from Filipinas? Does it bother you?

From my understanding, it was based off my own search radius, but I am getting likes from all over the globe, when I only want to see people within my own town...

Is there a setting that I am missing?

My messages seem to be glitched for more than 6 months, I tried to test it but nobody here wanted to. Only solution I see is put my phone number with its numbers spreaded in my profile and the instructions in the first paragraph.

If I get banned, will only my account get banned? or the IP? Or even my face will be recognized and banned?

Seriously, it feels like at least 90% of the people who show up in my stack or whom I match with these days are girls in the Philippines who have just decided to change their location. I'm not looking for long distance. Is there no way OKCupid can verify people's location?

Ive been having a good chat today with someone, then I got a notification that I got a message from them, but when I go to load up the messages I get this error. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

I just discovered this sub but I guess I'm leavin it already. And yes this is a rant. I got banned this week without a reason from okcupid. It was definetly my favorite dating app. I have not really chatted with anyone on there for the last 6 months and almost never really more than a bad first line that got ignored. I was swiping a lot every second week though. Yes I am a man, and yes I know there are many bad ones, but I can't do more to proof this to anyone then tell you that I am 100% certain that, even after reading all of it, I did not violate any community guidelines. The best guess I could come up with, is that anyone took my phone at any point and thought it'd be funny to write something offensive on my profile or to someone, because they thought I had an active conversation they could ruin. But I don't think I have that kinda shitty friends, but I guess I'm never finding out now. There were 2 conversations I had going for like 3 lines during those 6 months but I can't figure out what about my text could have been offensive. I wrote the support telling them about this, asking what guidelines I violated. The reply I got left me feeling like a criminal. It sounds like a bot and basically said that they reviewed the case and "I violated the terms or guidelines" and the ban is final and they won't respond to me anymore, yet it was written so passive aggressive. And honestly I think that reply violated their own guidelines.

Edit: It's my first and only account & my first ban on any app

I shouldn't be this surprised, since tinder was supposed to be the "straight grindr" and women have a lower desire for pump and dump.

The tinder figures are worse than the Ashley Madison figures. Ashley Madison had 31 million men who wanted to betray their wives vs. 5,5 million women who wanted to betray their husbands. And the women were much less active than the 70,000 bots pretending to be women. Tinder is also (for the same reason) the app with the most users who are married or partnered: 50%.

Hi I was logged out and can't log in

I see here many people having glitches with messages, I am also having them, so let's directly test if they work by introing eachother. So we can be sure if they are working or not.

If you don't want people see your profile in reddit just make a new reddit acount just for this.

https://okcupid.com/profile/sparr

This link has word for ~15 years and now it goes to "Sorry, this profile is either private or doesn’t exist".

Some instructions online suggest there's a new toggle under my account privacy settings that would cause or fix this, but I can't find it.

Did something change about linking to profiles in the last... year or so?

(it's hard to search for that because "linking profiles" is a different okcupid feature)

I haven't used this app in months but yesterday i superliked someone with a message but that person is still in my "you likes" tab so i'm not sure if it went through even, any clues?

Hello, I'm conducting a usability study for my ux design portfolio. I just need some feedback on my redesign for a dating app. There are only 10 questions, so it will not take very long. Thank you so much for your help.

...okay, that's 250 swipes and I've given up - not one of them is in the town I am in! Most of them aren't even in the same country. wtf is this. I expect they want to pay to make distance a dealbreaker, but why would I do that when I can just use one of the other apps that manages to filter this properly for free?!

Everytime I send a super like it says it goes through and then when I go to my DMs it says it sent to the next person in discover. Then I find the person I originally wanted to send the super like to in my discover again.
