Can OKCupid give you any data or feedback about your personality and type? Especially after answering a boatload of questions.

I downloaded this app and went on answering a whole lot of questions (seriously). Before I delete the app I want to know what OKCupid makes of my responses. Has anyone been able to collect this data? It probably won't amount to much but a third-person (third-robot?) perspective is nice.

Not free anymore ?

Hello everyone I had not connected to the app since a while, and when i just did, i could only like 1 profil before being blocked behind choosing either basic or premium okcupid.

Is the app not free anymore and user forced to pay ?

Is she attracted to me

Ok so I just recently started this job. Im a M(24) and I’ve noticed this girl at work keep staring at me. I haven’t noticed her or talked to her ever since recently and I’ve been at this job for two months. When I was in training she was always coming up to me and my trainer mainly talking to him but looking in my direction expecting me to say something ig. She would often pull onside him and talk to him and I could catch her staring Everytime I look back. She would stare at me and I would stare back we would lock eyes for a couple seconds. I went to the break room one day and all of a sudden as I’m leaving to get back on the floor she is walking towards the break room and I say hello. Main point is Everytime I look around this girl is close by. I’ve noticed she only talks to other guys and not me but looks back at me from time to time when she does. I decided to approach her one day and ask her about what’s been going on though she didn’t deny feelings or attraction she said she always talks to the trainer because he is the one who trained her. Ok cool I asked her about her dating life she said she is talking to someone. I backed off but ended up being very attracted to her now. After that day I asked for her number a couple days later. She said she would give her snap. I gave her my number hoping she would text me but she never did. I see her at work and ask her if she isn’t interested just tell me but she never says she is not. I told her how I feel about her and one day she gave me a Snapchat. She told me how to spell it and I added her. She never accepted my friend request. Fast forward I ask her friend wassup why she hasn’t text me because I really like her her friend said she has a man and I should back off… I told her to call her and she did. Girl asked for some seafood and I told her I’ll give her the money. Me her and her friend were supposed to go but nothing else was said about it. Now at work I see her and pass by without saying a word. Don’t even look at her. I still catch her looking at me… she still stares but she will pass by and just before she cuts a corner she takes a quick look in my direction. All I think about is her. She has tried to get my attention for a while and finally has. Recently I seen her talking to a guy at work I always say wassup to cool guy. Been at the job and never ever seen her talk to him. It hurt me not going to lie since idk if she wants him. Ever since I been tryna talk to her and give her my number convos are brief. I recently got new tattoos and she seen them. Keep in mind I haven’t been talking to her. I’m going on break and as I’m parking my equipment I see her walk out look dead at me smiling I look away and keep going. As I hop off my equipment she acts like she is tying her shoe ig tryna wait for me to catch up. Never seen her do that. I can keep going but long story short I’ll always catch her staring in my side eye. I have a strong feeling she likes me but then again idk. Ladies what’s your opinion?

OKC’s business plan, or “Why they’re accelerating the enshittening.”

Noticed some changes recently that recently that were headscratchers, even considering how bad OKC has been for a while. This ad that popped up when I signed in today confirmed it. Match group is just trying to drive everyone to the flagship, Tinder.

I NEVER match with women even remotely near me, But I am mr. popular with women in Africa and south asia...strange

Its strange, I have always had my distance set to 250km from where I was. When I look at and swipe profiles anywhere even remotely near me, I get nothing. I guess Absolutely ZERO women in Europe are interested in me. Yet when I randomly swipe in the passport section every other person is a match. Apparently I am Mr. popular in South Asia and Africa but an absolute pariah in Europe. I can swipe for months and never get one match. Or the app is a scam and purposefully only matches you with far away matches you are likely never to actually go and meet because actually matching you would in reality hurt their business?

Below, all matches from passport section, randomly swiping right on everyone. Immediately everyone matched. All the matches below are from Africa and South Asia. LOL Convince me OkCupid isnt a scam. For those of you who just signed up, and you immediatly see 30-40 likes on your profile. Don't pay for it. Guaranteed they are all from far away places you would have no intention of ever going to. These dating companies can't make an honest living.

Does okcupid let you filter genders that you don’t want to see?

I’m interested in dating non binary people. But some for instance also identify as other or transmasculine which I’m not interested in. How do I filter them out?

I (F28) met this guy (M40) in OKC.

We hooked up for the 1st time and then a week later for the 2nd time. Now we no longer communicate for about a week now (through viber) because it ended pretty awkward the 2nd time. He was then showering and I tapped his phone. Notification came flooding from different girls from different places. I saw my name registered as OKC K*** Dvo. I am shocked. He had mutiple sex partners!! So before we had sex, my sex drive was gone already. Wtf. I told him he should go have himself checked. (He's not wearing any condom everytime!) He told me he's safe (which he is, the 1st time we had sex, I I went to doctor to have myself checked). My body is lusting after him, should I still reach out? I know he'll still go for it. 😄

Is it normal to get over a hundred likes in the first week as a guy?

After hearing okcupid is better for nerdy guys, I decided to try it after doing bad on hinge and not well on bumble. I would only get around 1 like every week or two on bumble and even less on hinge for comparison. Since I made my new account, I've gotten over a hundred likes in my first week! Are these all overseas people or bots? I doubt there'd be THAT much of a difference in app performance and it seems suspicious.

Premium to free

My premium membership expired. Tried it out for 3 months to see what a difference it makes. And overnight I went from 13 likes, mostly from out of the country, to 40 likes, that I now can't see until I pay again. What an amazing coincidence! What a scam...

I am not sure what to call the type of relationship I am looking for?

I am 37 M US. I have not dated in years. I guess I am looking for something a bit unique. I used to think what I was looking for was casual dating. But I am not sure that is what I am looking for.

I live with my parents. To be honest I am not looking to move out any time soon. And there is no possibility that I could move out and in with someone else. There is also no chance I could get a new place with someone else.

I realize this is not what most women are looking for and will really limit my options. But that is alright. I am just not sure how I should describe to women what I am looking for. I am looking for a real relationship. I am not very wealthy. I am not able to support anyone else. So, it would not be in any sort of financially supportive relationship.

What should I call this type of relationship? How should I explain my circumstances to women? Sorry I hope this question is not too difficult. Thank you.

  1. the bachelor dating app
  2. Safe Dating App with AI
  3. Love Island Dating App
  4. Too Hot to Handle Dating app
  5. Love is blind dating app

Which one would you wanna try?

Met an antivax nurse on OKC who said half of healthcare workers refuse vaccination. Asked her to cite a statistic so she said that wasn't her job...then deleted me...then texted me a screenshot of her inbox to try to make me jealous. I think I handled it appropriately.

23M Where to find an Indian girlfriend as a college student in USA?

I’m at the age where I’m looking for a girlfriend. I’m at college and have tried our college India society events, but I’m not sure how to progress my relationship with potential partners.

I don’t want to make friends, I just want to meet a good girl. I’m introverted and jd love a wife who is similar to me in that way - not huge into drinking or partying, ideally never been in a relationship.

I’ve thought about finding a partner through religious routes but I’m not sure how that works

Asking plans after graduation

A guy slid into my DM and we started texting and I (F) was also asking questions just about him so I can get to know him. After day 3 of texting I asked him about his plans after we graduate from university. I guess he wasn’t interested in the question because he said “can we talk about something else? It’s summer and we’re done with school now” and I replied and he ended the conversation by liking it. Is this a bad topic to talk about when getting to know someone? Or was it just a boring conversation to talk to someone over text? I was just shocked because I thought it was a good topic to discuss.

I'm not seeing intros! Anyone else?

I know its a scam if you pay, its free and I still find dates when I swipe on enough guys to figure out who has liked me. But I have a specific issue and I'm wondering if it's just me.

This has been happening for years. I check my intros tab and there's nothing there. So every so often I start reading profiles and swiping on anyone that looks interesting. Occasionally I will open a profile and it says they sent have already sent me a intro! I click on the message and it's from 3-6 months ago! It's been sitting there the whole time, but I couldn't see it! This has happened to me probably 15 times over the past 5 years. Sometimes I do get messages in my intros tab, but for the most part I only find them when I open the person's profile on a whim.

I found one last week and messaged the guy and explained why I didn't respond for three months and...crickets. Either he didn't believe me or he had changed his mind. Whatever. I'm just pissed that this keeps happening!

They ban me so fast everytime, like in 5 minutes...idk what else to do, i contacted the support and they obviously won't tell me the reason behind this I never harrassed anyone on this app or anything like that.

Keep it alive till 2nd date

I [M23] met a girl [F23] from Hinge for a walk followed by club for the first date. It was kinda chill, we both had very similar degenerated humour, we made out towards the end. Texted her next day saying how I had a great time and she said she felt the same. She was never big on texting but it's a bit annoying to receive 1 sentence replies after 1 day of waiting.

Now we have another date planned for end of the week, and I'm not sure how to keep the flame on for these many days. What do I do in this situation?

Speaking with a girl from Vietnam

First time on an app.

I’m currently speaking with a girl from Vietnam but I’m curious as to if there’s anything I should be wary of? I know there’s apparently girls in places like Philippines that use people for a green card but I don’t know if that’s the same in Vietnam.

She has gave me some photo verification so I think she’s a real person? I live in UK but she seems to like US? Might be a red flag idk. She’s sweet but that might just be me because I’m new to dating.

Wondering where all those likes are that you never seem to be able to match with? I found them!

Hello OkCupid users. Are you frustrated when you see you have 99+ likes but never seem to match with anyone? Are you thinking maybe the answer is to just buy a subscription to find these missing potential life partners? There is no need! I found out where they all are! Simply go to the Passport section, and start swiping right. You will match left and right! Sure they will be as far away from you as possible but you will match with REAL people in exotic places like Kenya and Indonesia, and Philippines. Far away places that you most likely will never visit for an OkCupid date. OkCupid is DEFINITELY NOT A SCAM.

This is so frustrating

It says a total catch but I never got any match or messages... I tried to message them first and send intros but I never got a reply. I'm so done with this app!

Messages to matches disappear

I also recently noticed that, if you match and send a message, it doesn’t show up in the messages queue. And there’s no way to go back and find that person. At least it just happened to me. She doesn’t show up in “You Like” section. Of course, it’s possible she unmatched or blocked me.

Anyone else?
