OKCupid.com
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.
