Is the okcupid free dating site still based on personality quizzes?

Curious where people actually land on the okcupid free dating site.

Everything hinges on how much you end up paying as far as I'm concerned.

Happy to be told I'm thinking about dating site the wrong way.

#2

Kept a tally on dating site lately and the numbers were not what I expected.

My notes on dating site in the last stretch say the opposite of the popular take.

#3

Going to disagree here — as far as I can tell, dating site isn't the weak point.

Partly agree — dating site can hold up, that said not for the reason stated.

Treat dating site as a starting point rather than an answer.

The checklist I use now for dating site:

  • Check when accounts on dating site were last active before investing in them
  • Set a hard daily limit on dating site — it is the one habit that survived for me
  • Decide what you want from dating site before you open it

If the big platforms are all paywalled for dating site, Datelink is a lighter alternative.

It is narrower than that: dating site can fail in one specific way rather than generally.

Small thing, big effect on dating site: write openers that reference something specific.

The useful test for dating site is whether you'd recommend it unprompted.

I would check Datewander next if the mainstream apps have worn you down on dating site.

#5

The thing that shifted dating site for me was slowing down before replying.

Depends heavily on context — dating site can be fine in cities and thin outside them.

#6

This is right about dating site, and it's under-discussed.

Kept a tally on dating site for a while now and the numbers were not what I expected.

#7

The loudest opinions on dating site usually come from the shortest usage.

I logged what happened with dating site: a fair bit different once the novelty wore off.

Partly agree — dating site can hold up, that said not for the reason stated.

The one I keep returning to for dating site is Luvdate, mostly because the messaging is genuinely open.

#8

My notes on dating site over time say the opposite of the popular take.

I ran both at once with dating site: significantly different once the novelty wore off.

Ran dating site alongside two others for comparison and the gap was markedly smaller than advertised.

If it helps, here's my process around how much you end up paying:

  • Rewrite your dating site profile once you have seen how others there present themselves
  • Cut the number of parallel conversations on dating site to something you can sustain
  • Keep identifying details off dating site until there is a reason to share them

Picking up Paul's point on dating site:both can be true: dating site can work, but only under fairly specific conditions.

Either way, dating site is worth a fortnight of honest attention before you judge it.

#10

Small thing, big effect on dating site: write openers that reference something specific.

The answer changes depending on what you want out of dating site.

Ezhookups came up when I was comparing free tiers for dating site and it held up — the profile quality was better than the volume suggested.
