Current Events > OkCupid is so terrible now.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Between the removal of the Visited You section and now having their profile disappear after a single message, matching up with people has become next to impossible.

Your one icebreaker message now has to be the perfect balance of long enough that you show youve read their profile and short enough to be accessible.

Almost none of the girls ive talked to, dated or banged have ever actually liked my page, they almost always visited it to show their intrigue.

Also before I could send 2-3 little messages in a row as I read through and touched upon different parts of their profile without sending them one giant novel.

OkCupid was once the greatest dating app on Earth and essentially ruled the world, and now its just something where you say fuck it, lets see if I get any bites I guess. and half ass your efforts because you can only do so much.

Me and my fiancee met through OkCupid after we both went to the same university. That's sad to hear it's gotten shitty.

Especially since me and her were planning on making a joint account to try and make new platonic friends since our current friends are all getting old and having children.

Yeah, they just catered to girls on the site who were getting absolutely bombarded by messages. It does suck. The thing is, thats just gonna be a fact of life for women on dating sites. OKCupid didnt think that shit through imo.

I actually hooked up with some really random chicks on there who, yeah, just showed their interest by visiting my page...if a bitch visited 3-4 times it was like, ok, its just up to me now. The fucked up thing is I still think its better than POF but its just annoying now. Its actually made me think I should just avoid online dating and do old school bar hopping now while I still can since Im in my mid 20s.

Sounds terrible. They will probably revert after people stop using it.

Nah that rarely works unless you're a boring, uninteresting person or are okay dating a boring, uninteresting person.
