OkCupid Reviews

Example of one of their scams:

If you're paying $45 for a month, you can see everyone that Likes you. If 40 people liked you and you weren't interested, you can say "Not interested" and they get deleted as listed Likes.

If you STOP paying your subscription, you can no longer see your Likes listed. So, to take advantage of you not being able to see who likes you, they take those 40 people and put them back in your Likes list and then to add insult to injury they start putting non-USA Likes in the list.

Do you want to see who those 40+ Likes are from, that just popped up in your Likes folder? You can, if you AGAIN pay them $45 a month or $135 for 6 months. And once you do, you find out that they're the 40 people you had already deleted from the list.

They used to provide a useful and informative service, they're now just gaming their clients to drain them of their cash.

DO NOT! I repeat DO NOT USE OKCUPID! Its is 100% a scam only dating app. Nothing is real, all filled with foreigners. There will be a lawsuit coming to their company unless people are refunded. DO NOT USE!

It used to be good site, before you could actually meet peole. Now that MATCH has taken over it absolutely rubbish. It's all about money and the site deliberately hides profits from people looking for love. Such a shame its gone to the dogs.

My distance is limited to 50 miles (Dealbreaker) yet "Likes" is packed with profiles from thousands of miles away and my email's inbox is rapidy filling with these. Pressing "Nearby" in the app doesn't filter these out either.

I contacted support and I quote "we don’t have a way to filter by state or national borders" and "be aware that Dealbreakers will allow you to change your view but people from around the world can still like your profile". Not good.

However I contacted support within 12 hours of starting my subscription and got a refund.

Zero Stars !
I suggest you to choose other dating app.
This is not reliable at all.
They ban your account for no reason!
Worst customer sevice ever.
I contact them to have a proof of my supposed violation since I'm 100% sure I didn't any but they didn"t give me any explanation and I think it is rude and unprofessional.
It never happened to me before!

OK Cupid. A dating app/site run by the the Match Group who also run Match.com, Plenty of Fish, Tinder, Our Time amongst other brand dating names.

Unfortunately, disappointing. Been on and off it in last 9 months and in the past month took up their half price one month premium membership.

I live in Central Scotland but just not enough users, to be honest Tinder has far more choice and wider used nowadays which is why it is the most popular.

As for likes received, all came from African countries, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda and then the Philippines. My settings are for within 50 miles of where I live and though nothing against those of African/SE Asian ethnicity, they are not my type and so are not in my chosen preferences. However, all the likes are pretty much from there.

I asked OK Cupid Customer Services how can I choose to only receive interest from those within my distance and their response was "I'm sorry to hear you have received likes outside your distance range.
What you experienced is considered expected behavior. The preferences dictate who YOU see in your stacks and recommendations. However, the likes are decided by who likes you even if they are not in your preferences or deal breakers.
Please be aware that Dealbreakers will allow you to change your view but people from around the world can still like your profile if you are visible to them based on their deal breakers. As a result, people from other parts of the world can and may like your profile."

So a disappointing experience, not enough users even within 50 miles or a higher populated area and the stack often runs out quick and I cannot even control who sees my profile.

I do really like the questions aspect of the app and being able to really start to portray a view of one's self via this but without the controls that those looking want and a bigger customer base, I am afraid, the subscription is cancelled and I cannot rate it more than 2/5.

Monthly regular cost without a bundled month package is £36.99 per month which for what the app gives is in my opinion way too expensive. If there was better verification, far more users and more location controls dictated by your own settings and far more likely to meet someone within's one locality, then the price might be considered to be fairer.

Needs much more rigour and users Match Group if you are listening.

This site is full of sh%t: Scammers, rude and antisocial people. Also, i met MANY women from Asia(Philippines and Thailand) and Africa. Most of them, were divorced with children. No matter the location, always i had a ton of them. Plus, i get permanently banned for unknown reason. At the same time, many profiles had half naked bodies with external link included, but okcupid didn't ban them. Stay away.

Another con dating site,and been bought out by match.com, which own quite a lot of free dating sites but not free no more I’m afraid Don’t waste your money you’ll get plenty of likes your have to pay a monthly fee to see them and when you do there be nothing as usual , all they want you to do is to pay for a monthly subscription like they all do,and take your money keep well away from these dodgy dating sites

As OKcupid don't even look at this "unclaimed" profile.
Best to leave feedback for the sites owner Match Group.
Search for: mtch.com

But they don't give a toss, the service will never change! Only the Paying Users can have an effect:)

If you want to meet people who arent close to you geographically and who complain about you then this is the site for you! Its moderated by Irish numpties at Mtch Tehcnologies in Dublin who are subject to countless complaints by the Irish equivalent of the Information Commissioner

Had (exactly) 17 likes. Paid for subscription (which is outrageously expensive at 47€/month). Sorted through all the bs likes, everyone mostly from thousands of miles away. Then nothing. Silence for a month. Then the same day my subscription expired, 17 likes again. Obviously a scam, not going back to this site again.

Sign in process keeps looping, tried everything from their abysmal support page. Lots of people seem to be experiencing the same issue with no attempt to fix the issue from OkCupid. Try somewhere else like Bumble, Feeld, or even Tinder.

I wasn't able to finish setting up my account due to a bug. I got in touch with customer support, took a week to hear back.

Thought I would try create another account on a different email address as a workaround, and they decided that meant I would be banned from using their services. I appealed this decision but it was denied.

Feels like a waste of my time and like I've done something wrong for trying to be helpful and find a solution to my own problem.

I received a number of "likes" whilst not paying. Like a chump I then paid a subscription to see who these might be from and discovered that none were even on my continent let alone my country. Once paying, I didn't receive any further attention at all for the duration of my subscription. I am not complaining about the latter state of affairs ...I can't blame the site for my not being found attractive, and I should have been suspicious, I now realise, at having apparently provoked such interest in the first place; however, the obvious scam being carried out to goad users into paying is unforgivable. I am sure that this site is not alone in doing this, and I really think all people -whatever gender or orientation- should boycott these exploitative money pits.

Majority of the profiles are fake, with almost every woman an expert in finance and crypto and trying to get you to invest. One month they all have the name Evelyn, the next month Alice and so on. Many have multiple profiles with the same name, different ages and locations. Then to top it off half the time you can't log in because it says, it's not on you it's us, and u can't log in.

This app is full of fake profiles from US and abroad. As soon as you join, you'll get tons of likes and messages from fake users to lure you into membership. Based on very limited genuine users and unlimited fake ones, its not even worth 5 bucks taking any membership on this app.

Absolute scam. Signed up from Europe with strict search criteria. On sign-up, said I had 18 matches. I activated paid subscription to see the matches - Uganda, Kenya, Cambodia, and all sorts of random fake profiles. I strongly advise against anyone every getting a paid subscription on this site -- complete waste of money, unless you like to be spammed.

I'd give this no stars if I could. Been using this site on and off for years. Things were ok. Found out I got banned for no reason.I am rarely on the site as it is. I appealed it, and they said I violated terms and conditions. Yet they don't say what I did wrong. Don't use this site. I remember when their premium membership wasn't expensive. Now its 5 times the price. There's alot of con artists using this site and don't count on OKcupid support to help you as they will ban you for no reason

Do not go there! They are racist. I joined yesterday, the 5th of January 2024, filled in everything. Straight after giving my phone number, it says my account was banned. Each representative wrote a different reason, but the most bizarre one was that they could not reveal details even to me. All I want is to delete my account by myself. Don't go to Okcupid.
