@Gregory If this was ever true, it no longer is. I'm a flag moderator and have no idea who the creators are.

OK Cupid is a newcomer in the world of dating, but is growing by leaps and bounds. They have a unique attitude in the online arena - they intend to keep it free. They have personal profiles for single, gay and bi individuals from all over the United States. In order to keep their site free for all members, they have to do without a few things that other popular dating sites use: advertising and features. Since creating and maintaining advanced features like profile matching, chat and keeping articles posted is expensive, they don't do it.
Even without advertising, their membership is growing. They have tens of thousands of profiles with pictures and detailed descriptions for you to browse through. Each profile has a description of what they are looking for, who they are, what interests they have and the ability to post pictures. You can search by location, or you can pick a hotlist of the most active and newest members from around the country.
The site is very user friendly and allows you to browse before creating a profile. Creating a profile is quick and easy and will gain you access to all of the members on the site. A unique aspect of their site is that they have a "game" you can play with the online community where the users pick a match for you. They also have personality and dating persona tests for you to take and examine of other users.
The site remains free to all users. The goal of the site creators was to have a fun place to meet for free and get to know other singles in the area. It seems to be working. Hundreds of people are signing up daily, looking for you! What are you waiting for - check out okcupid.com and begin your romantic quest.

For a free site, this is eons better than Plenty of Fish. POF is like the Ross of online dating. It's aesthetically a disaster, and there's a ton of crap that you can't sort through. Though certainly maybe .001% are worth a shot. But I'm not a "Ross" kind of girl-- so I don't think my type of guy is there either. A friend of mine loves it though (we always joke, however, that she ends up with starving artists).
The layout of the site is very manageable. My favorite part of this site is how easy ...

@Gregory If this was ever true, it no longer is. I'm a flag moderator and have no idea who the creators are.
Ok cupid sounds like a real nice site with plenty of ladies to choose from, but that is only the cover. Turns out most of the women tend to be very shallow, or have hidden agendas. A lot are professionals and attractive even, yet they are single, which also makes no sense. Lastly, no matter how polite you are, or how well formed you message content maybe, the response from the women on this site tend to be 50/50, even for very attractive people, it's still the same.
Biggest problem with the site is the moderators. Your profile can be flagged by them for any reason, even if you don't break the rules. Also they only give “flag moderation” privileges to friends of the developers of the site, and abuse is commonplace among the moderators. Had several profiles deleted for no reason other than not being liked by certain people, then when I asked about why, I was insulted and harassed.
Best thing to do is avoid this site all together, not to mention their popup ads are full of viruses, and Trojans. My computer was infected twice already.
OKCupid is not an attractive name. It's a mystery why the owners chose such a dumbening name to their website. As if less known sites such as AstrologDate or Single2.com better, but I'd say it's all fair games as long as not a scam.
First of all as soon as I signed up I was hit by a premium text scam - I was lucky I caught it I got hit for three astrology texts for $9.99 each I blocked them quickly or it could have been over $100 easily.
Then I spent what seemed like hours answering stupid... and I mean really stupid questions (I now call it OK stupid!) and really at the end of the day nothing has even come close to enticing me to message the so called matches.
All in all... OK Cupid is OK stupid!
There are no chat rooms. Which I don't miss. I tried a couple different chat rooms on true.com. Maybe it was a bad night but I didn't find the conversations engaging. Of course they do profile matching. That's what the match button is for. And they also give you 3 quiver matches daily as well. The match/friend/enemy percentages are a way to assess people as well. OKCupid does let you post journal articles. They encourage you as a matter of fact. And what's this nonsense about the age range being from 25-34? I'm 54 and found many people around my age. And one guy 60 as well.
