Founded in 2004 by four Harvard students, it was one of the first free dating sites. In 2012, it also became the first dating site with an app, allowing online daters to connect wherever they happened to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then, OkCupid has remained forward-thinking and is constantly improving to help make the online matchmaking process more accurate and more fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I met my husband on OkCupid in 2016, and we\u2019re currently living out our happily-ever-after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t worry, though. I\u2019ll try to be as objective as possible. And, I\u2019ll provide as many insider tips as possible, so you can find what you\u2019re looking for too on this increasingly popular app. So get out your cutting board and let\u2019s peel back the layers of the onion that is OkCupid!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OkCupid Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"curvy wp-block-heading\">OkCupid Pros<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>It\u2019s a Free<\/strong> <strong>Dating Site<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the features on OkCupid are free, so it\u2019s definitely possible to find what you\u2019re looking for on the app without having to fork over your hard-earned dough. And as we mentioned, <s>even premium features are economical compared to that of other best dating sites<\/s>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>It Boasts An \u201cInsanely Sophisticated Algorithm\u201d<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>OkCupid app is known for being a smarter dating app, and the folks behind the scenes call its algorithm \u201cinsanely sophisticated.\u201d Since it was created by math majors, this should come as no surprise. One of the founders of OkCupid, Christian Rudder, says it\u2019s all pretty simple despite its superior sophistication to the algorithms of other dating sites. And he attempts to explain it in <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/m9PiPlRuy6E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">a TedEd Talk<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it may not be important to understand exactly how the algorithm works, a general overview can be helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, OkCupid takes your answers to match answers (both your own answers and your answers for your ideal partner) and attempts to reconcile them with other OkCupid members' answers to these same answers. The extent to which these answers match one another\u2019s is your \u201cmatch score\u201d with this particular user. The match score is represented by a percentage and is a prediction of how happy you would be with this person if you were to date and form a relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"curvy wp-block-heading\">OkCupid Cons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>It\u2019s Free<\/strong>. <strong>Yea, you read it right!<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact that OkCupid is free can be positive, but it can also be negative. Since you don\u2019t have to pay to use the OkCupid app, there\u2019s no deterrent for people looking to make fake accounts or engage in spamming techniques. When he was on the app, my husband was even hit up for money by one OKCupid member in particular who was obviously using OkCupid for purposes other than dating. You\u2019ve probably heard similar stories from friends or acquaintances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Limited Messaging Capabilities<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>OkCupid has updated its messaging feature in an attempt to minimize unwanted or harassing messages. Whereas before anyone on the app could freely message anyone else, now, things are a bit different. While you can still message anyone you like, the recipient will only see your message if they also swipe right on your OkCupid profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally, I met my husband on OkCupid before this new messaging update, so I can\u2019t speak to these messaging limitations or how they might have affected my interactions on the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While more than a few free users have complained, I don\u2019t really see the issue. Why would you want to strike up a conversation with someone who\u2019s just not into you, anyway? But that\u2019s just my humble opine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#feefec\"><strong>Inside Scoop:<\/strong> <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Learn How OkCupid Messaging Works (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/okcupid-messages\/\" target=\"_blank\">Learn How OkCupid Messaging Works<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"curvy wp-block-heading\">Does OkCupid Really Work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, OkCupid works. The following pros and cons are based on my own personal experience using OkCupid. Obviously, since I found the love of my life on the app, I\u2019ll have more pros than cons? It wasn\u2019t all roses and unicorns, however, and I definitely had to kiss a few frogs, so to speak. Therefore, I can speak to some of the cons of OkCupid as well. It\u2019s important to keep in mind that every experience is unique, no matter what dating service you use. You shouldn\u2019t expect to get the same exact results as I did, but there\u2019s definitely a chance you could meet that special someone through OkCupid, whether it\u2019s just for a night or for a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"curvy wp-block-heading\">What You Need to Sign-up on OkCupid?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Getting started on OkCupid (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/how-does-okcupid-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Getting started on OkCupid<\/a> is probably the easiest part of the whole process. Just download the app from the app store to get things rolling. Once you\u2019ve downloaded OkCupid, you\u2019ll be prompted to sign up for an account. You can do this by connecting to Facebook or entering your email address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/signup-623x1024.png\" alt=\"signup\" class=\"wp-image-2743\" width=\"312\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/signup-623x1024.png 623w, https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/signup-183x300.png 183w, https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/signup.png 721w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 312px) 100vw, 312px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"curvy wp-block-heading\">What it Takes to Set-up OkCupid Profile?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As with other dating sites, a complete profile will give you a competitive advantage on OkCupid. A lot of people skip parts of the profile or half-a** it, so taking your time and filling out all parts of the profile will help you stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"pro-tip\"><strong>Insider Tip: <\/strong>Once you\u2019ve completed your profile, be sure to update it often. OkCupid says it will show your profile to more people each time it's updated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/basics-576x1024.png\" alt=\"basics\" class=\"wp-image-2744\" width=\"288\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/basics-576x1024.png 576w, https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/basics-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/basics.png 586w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 288px) 100vw, 288px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To set up your profile, OkCupid will first ask you some very basic questions, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Your name<\/li><li>Your birthdate<\/li><li>Your location<\/li><li>Your sexual orientation\/gender<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that for gender, you have a lot of options that go beyond just male or female. It\u2019s worth noting here that OkCupid was one of the first apps to offer non-traditional gender identifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/select-gender-576x1024.png\" alt=\"gender selection\" class=\"wp-image-2745\" width=\"288\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/select-gender-576x1024.png 576w, https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/select-gender-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/select-gender.png 761w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 288px) 100vw, 288px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Uploading Pictures<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As is the case with nearly all online dating sites, OkCupid is highly visual. The app allows you to add numerous photos to your profile. Think of it as a blank canvas! OKCupid photos will be the most valuable element of your profile so think it through before you upload random photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/add-your-profile-pictures-576x1024.png\" alt=\"add pictures\" class=\"wp-image-2746\" width=\"288\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/add-your-profile-pictures-576x1024.png 576w, https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/add-your-profile-pictures-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/add-your-profile-pictures-768x1365.png 768w, https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/add-your-profile-pictures.png 804w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 288px) 100vw, 288px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Insider Tip: <\/strong>OkCupid recommends you add three types of pictures: a solo picture, a travel picture, and a hobby picture<em>. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experts also recommend you caption your photos. This will add a little intrigue and also help you show up in Discovery (which we\u2019ll discuss later).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Writing Summary<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For the Bio portion of your profile, Ok Cupid will ask you to write a short introduction describing yourself. As a helpful prompt, the app asks you to ponder how your best friend might portray you. This perspective helps you express your best qualities without sounding egotistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/summary-576x1024.png\" alt=\"okcupid bio\" class=\"wp-image-2747\" width=\"288\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/summary-576x1024.png 576w, https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/summary-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/summary.png 579w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 288px) 100vw, 288px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As is the case with other apps, you\u2019ll want to try to make your bio stand out. But you don\u2019t have to write your life story here. Something punchy to grab your match\u2019s attention will do. Feel free to save the details for a later conversation. At the same time, you don\u2019t want it to appear as if you\u2019ve made no effort with your bio, either. Go ahead and flex your creativity and wit in this section of your OkCupid profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Insider Tip: <\/strong>According to OkCupid, over 75% of online daters say they are less likely to right swipe on a profile if it contains spelling errors. So spell-check, people!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#ffefec\"><strong>Inside Scoop:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/okcupid-profile-examples-for-men\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Amazing Examples of OkCupid Profile<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Connecting Instagram<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Technically, you can use OkCupid account without connecting to your Instagram account, but why would you want to? An Insta connection gives your potential matches another way to get to know you and interact with you, so I say go for it. It definitely can\u2019t hurt!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"pro-tip\"><strong>Insider Tip: <\/strong>According to OkCupid, users who connect their Instagram accounts receive more messages on the app than those who forego this feature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"curvy wp-block-heading\">What are OkCupid Questionnaires?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Answering your match questions is a particularly important part of completing your OkCupid profile. It might seem like a pain at the time, but it will be worth your while. Trust me\u2014this is how the magic happens on OkCupid! (And I would know. ????)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whereas other dating apps often ask you to provide info about yourself, OkCupid goes one step further. Not only will you be asked questions about your personal dating preferences and beliefs, but you will also be asked to answer these same questions on behalf of your ideal match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s look at an example for the sake of illustration.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/questionnaire-1-576x1024.png\" alt=\"questionnaire 1\" class=\"wp-image-2749\" width=\"288\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/questionnaire-1-576x1024.png 576w, https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/questionnaire-1-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/questionnaire-1-768x1364.png 768w, https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/questionnaire-1.png 770w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 288px) 100vw, 288px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, they not only ask about your readiness to settle down and get married but also ask you to pick how you would want your ideal match to answer this question as well. They are super important because they help the app pair you with like-minded people who want the same things you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size has-normal-font-size\"><strong><em>More Examples of Types of Match Questions<\/em>:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some questions are really serious (like the one above), and some are just frivolous.

You like what you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Prioritizing The Questions<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that you can choose how the app prioritizes these questions and answers, too. All you have to do is check the box beside the statement \u201cThis is important to me\u201d for issues that really matter to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also skip questions you don\u2019t want to respond to, but you have to answer 15 before the app will let you continue to the next step. There are thousands of questions on the app, though, and the more you answer, the more accurate your matches will be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Take Time Answering Match Questions<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Give them more than just a passing glance before answering them. Seriously. If you invest any time at all into a portion of your profile, this is where you\u2019ll want to spend it. Your answers to these questions will dictate how OkCupid pairs you with other online daters. If you\u2019re like me, it could affect your whole entire life and future\u2014 forever. No pressure, though! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"curvy wp-block-heading\">How to Find Matches on OkCupid?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding compatible matches on OkCupid is a lot like finding matches on many other sites, but better. With OkCupid, you get whole more information so you can match with the right person as opposed to the random stranger with a nice smile. This has everything to do with that OkCupid questionnaire I was telling you about earlier. See, they <em>are<\/em> super important!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Using Double Take<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When you first use OkCupid\u2019s Double Take, you\u2019ll feel like you\u2019re on Tinder.

The longer the subscription, the more bang you\u2019ll get for your buck.Despite this very limited financial investment, you\u2019ll get a fair amount of enhancement to your account by upgrading to A-List Basic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll get:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A list of people who like you (before you like them)<\/li><li>The advanced search function (i.e. search by attractiveness, body type, and public answers)<\/li><li>Confirmation your messages were received<\/li><li>Ad-free <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>A-List Premium<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/a-list-premium.png\" alt=\"premium\" class=\"wp-image-2756\" srcset=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/a-list-premium.png 550w, https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/a-list-premium-300x236.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to all of the features of A-List Basic, it offers even more perks. These include a daily boost in exposure as well as priority messaging, which highlights your messages on your match\u2019s conversations page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>OkCupid Boost<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/okcupid-boost-576x1024.png\" alt=\"Boost\" class=\"wp-image-2757\" width=\"432\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/okcupid-boost-576x1024.png 576w, https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/okcupid-boost-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/okcupid-boost.png 646w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If all you want is a little more exposure on the app, you can opt to purchase OkCupid\u2019s Boost feature separately. Each Boost will put you back around $2 and lasts for half an hour. The app markets this feature as a way to save time in your online dating pursuits. When considering Boost, keep in mind that you\u2019ll get a daily Boost every day during peak hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"curvy wp-block-heading\">What's the Price of OKCupid's Premium Membership?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>OkCupid\u2019s free membership account version is a fully functional dating site in its own right. So there\u2019s no pressure to upgrade or get a premium membership. You can for sure find a good potential match without paying a dime (I did!). If you do want more from your online dating sessions, though, then you\u2019ve got options on OkCupid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Duration \/ Credits \/ Coins<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Costs<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Total<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Basic<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1 Month<\/td><td>24.99 USD \/ Month<\/td><td>24.99 USD<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3 Months<\/td><td>16.66 USD \/ Month<\/td><td>49.98 USD<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>6 Months<\/td><td>12.49 USD \/ Month<\/td><td>74.94 USD<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Premium<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1 Month<\/td><td>34.99 USD \/ Month<\/td><td>34.99 USD<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3 Months<\/td><td>23.33 USD \/ Month<\/td><td>69.99 USD<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>6 Months<\/td><td>17.49 USD \/ Month<\/td><td>104.94 USD<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Boost Tokens<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1 Credit<\/td><td>6.99 USD \/ Credit<\/td><td>6.99 USD<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>5 Credits<\/td><td>1.20 USD \/ Credit<\/td><td>5.99 USD<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>10 Credits<\/td><td>0.50 USD \/ Credit<\/td><td>4.99 USD<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"pro-tip\"><strong>For more info:<\/strong> You can read our post <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/okcupid-premium\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Is OkCupid Premium Worth It?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"749\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/success-proof.png\" alt=\"Success Stories proof\" class=\"wp-image-2758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/success-proof.png 749w, https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/success-proof-300x133.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 749px) 100vw, 749px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"curvy wp-block-heading\">My Real Life OkCupid Experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, my own success story with OkCupid ended with the exchange of vows after a brief engagement and an even briefer courtship\u2014Eric proposed after just four months of real-life dating!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"196\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/a-person-wearing-a-suit-and-tie-description-autom-196x300.jpeg\" alt=\"okcupid success story 3\" data-id=\"1794\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/a-person-wearing-a-suit-and-tie-description-autom.jpeg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/okcupid-review\/a-person-wearing-a-suit-and-tie-description-autom\/#main\" class=\"wp-image-1794\" srcset=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/a-person-wearing-a-suit-and-tie-description-autom-196x300.jpeg 196w, https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/a-person-wearing-a-suit-and-tie-description-autom-13x20.jpeg 13w, https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/a-person-wearing-a-suit-and-tie-description-autom.jpeg 471w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/a-person-wearing-a-hat-description-automatically-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"okcupid success story 2\" data-id=\"1790\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/a-person-wearing-a-hat-description-automatically.jpeg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/okcupid-review\/a-person-wearing-a-hat-description-automatically\/#main\" class=\"wp-image-1790\" srcset=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/a-person-wearing-a-hat-description-automatically-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/a-person-wearing-a-hat-description-automatically-15x20.jpeg 15w, https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/a-person-wearing-a-hat-description-automatically.jpeg 719w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">OkCupid\u2019s Match Score Was Spot On!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, finding my prince charming wasn\u2019t easy. I met several other guys in real life after connecting on OkCupid, and those experiences ranged from mediocre to horrific. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were definitely times in the process when I wouldn\u2019t have recommended the app to my worst enemy. Like the time the guy showed up to a first date with a dozen red roses, or the time I drove an hour and a half out of my way to meet someone only to be stood up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#feefec\">Online dating is hard (even on OkCupid), but if you\u2019re willing to stick with it and fight the good fight, the payoff can be priceless\u2014take it from me! I\u2019d also suggest that if you\u2019re looking for the best dating site that can help you find someone you\u2019re truly compatible with (as opposed to someone you\u2019re merely attracted to), OkCupid is the app for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other Similar Services<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"ul-back wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/tinder-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Read Tinder review\u2028 (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Read Tinder review<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/bumble-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Read Bumble review\u2028 (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Read Bumble review<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/hinge-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Read Hinge review\u2028 (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Read Hinge review<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/pof-plenty-of-fish-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Read Plenty of Fish review\u2028 (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Read Plenty of Fish review<\/a><\/li><li><a aria-label=\"Read Match.com review here (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/match-com-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Read Match.com review<\/a><\/li><li><a aria-label=\"Read eHarmony review here (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/eharmony-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Read eHarmony review<\/a><\/li><li><a aria-label=\"Read CoffeeMeetsBagel review\u2028 (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/coffee-meets-bagel-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Read Coffee Meets Bagel review<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/okcupid-vs-tinder\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">OkCupid Vs Tinder: The Winner<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OkCupid has a pretty cool story, and it\u2019s been around for a while.
