Again and again a new matchmaking site makes itself known on the internet. So, it’s really a challenge to decide which one you want to stay apart of, when there’s such a massive amount of them to choose from. OkCupid.com is one of these matchmaking sites, which was made for the purpose of finding singles in your area (or not, if long distance doesn’t bother you.) First of all, the initial impact of the site wasn’t very spectacular. There wasn’t much that really stood out on the front page that could be considered very attractive and worth while. I like to see visual messages on sites like this, that can instantly draw someone in, and keep them interested long enough to sign up and try it out. This dating websitelacks in this section; with only a dozen profile picture previews, the initial navigation bar, some plain color choices, and the other typical things you’d expect to see on most front pages. Of course, just because there’s little content on the first page doesn’t instantly mean the site has no potential to be great. It actually takes further navigation to determine that.

Well, they said sign up would take approximately 60 seconds, and it did. A short sign up is always nice, as it allows you to get right into the site quicker. There are lots of online interactive cartoons that go along with OkCupid, who help you throughout the sign up and help get you going once you’re all set up. It’s kind of interesting, and different.
Hopefully you didn’t stop reading the review, because once you’re actually in the online dating site, there’s a lot more content than expected. There’s an interesting feature that allows you to take tests created by other users, so people can see what kind of personality or likes/dislikes you possess. Or, you can even create your own user test. Besides that, you are allowed to upload photos, look for match ups, or just browse for other singles. Every member also has a journal, which basically functions just like a blog, explaining different things about oneself or their experiences. The one other unique thing OkCupid presents, is an extra section devoted to random things – thus the section is called “Fun Stuff.” It has: forums, to post and start threads in; chances to win free stuff for referring people to the site; a few games for fun; and a humor and a “hotlist” section.
www.okcupid.com doesn’t appear to be much on the outside, but after the quick sign up you’ll see that there’s much more than one may have initially thought. It’s true that the layout is a little bland, but for being 100% free, the content that’s available is definitely worth it, and very unique from other matchmaking sites. The site is growing everyday and it will grow even more, if you decide to take the short 60 seconds to sign up.

Excuse me, but OKCUPID has been around almost TWO DECADES. I have been a moderator of this site for the ENTIRE time. It began as a TESTING SITE for geeks, nerds & brainiacs as part of BARNES & NOBLE and wasn’t even called okcupid, but The Spark. Chris (the owner of the site) split off from Barnes & Noble over 15 years ago.
As time went on, this site became a dating website slowly since the people who used it wanted a way to meet each other & Chris developed it.
It use to be a very very very cool social networking website full of games, tests, forums, blog journals, etc. where cool people would go to meet other cool people.
Then one day in 2013 mmatchh dot com hijacked the website because it was the number one dating site & it was destroying the pay dating business.
Let me repeat: OKCUPID has always been the number one dating site in existence – kapiche?
Problem with the idiots who bought it is that they only bought it to ruin it, to tear it apart & destroy it. So they got rid of all the good features of the site & tweaked the best matching algorithm in the world to become the worst one in the world (unless you pay of course).
Therefore, when these corporate greedy idiots bought the site – they ruined it.
They gutted the site, destroyed it & scared off all the cool people who used it, now only idiot cell phone using grunting stone age jerks use it, so it’s the same as the other sites mmaatchh dot com also owns such as datehookup.
There is a concerted effort everywhere in all aspects of human society to buy up & destroy everything everywhere that is a threat. This site is a casualty of that.
With that said, it’s still better than bottom of the barrel white-trash no-class obnoxious ghetto hick-stupid sites like plentyoffish & datehookup, and it’s still better than any pay site—
—because paysites business model is dependent on deception & lying. Free sites are only invested in your success, not saying that they have “millions of singles” when the truth about those so-called “millions” is that they are fake accounts created by the site admins, or they are abandoned accounts by people smart enough to use the trial & quit before the rip-off fees start.
The internet is a PUBLIC PLACE & code, ALL CODE is nothing but 1’s & 0’s & cannot be legally be copy protected by anyone anywhere. What that means is this:
THERE IS NOTHING ON THE INTERNET WORTH PAYING FOR. NOTHING.
If you create a site & put it on the net, then you agree that you are on public property & you surrender and forfeit the privilege to charge fees.
ALSO::::
YOU braindead idiots that write into the comments section of THIS WEBSITE thinking that it is somehow affiliated with the dating sites— YOU ARE BEING STUPID.
The dude who runs this site has nothing to do with those sites & cannot help you. He is not running customer support, he is only writing reviews.
STOP BEING STUPID & get a BRAIN in your head & act like you know how to think.
Idiots.

OkCupid.com is a great website. But, I have a problem, the picture on my (site) are ministers. The photo I had did not have enough pixels. One that can be used will follow ASAP. Maureen 9496
Please remove the picture of the two ministers on my link. It was stated the picture I sent did not have enough pixels. I will send a picture of myself ASAP, but please remove the picture that is there ! Thank you….Maureen 9496
A question was asked on my site, was I in the witness protection program ? Great wit, but see why I am asking for the pictures to be removed,
Great website
