Gaeta Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 I registered yesterday. Completed my profile with location and all. I am located in Montreal Canada. I got 16 messages within a couple of hours from men in TX CA WA, what's that? and these messages keep on coming in to day too! All from the US! Scammers? Is there a way to block messages not form my city?
Armegoggon Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 I've used OkCupid for 3 months and yes I did get messages from girls who are outside where I live (Toronto). I think there are a lot more American users here. One of those girls from New York she searched me up based on an interest and we had a good conversation. We were able to add each other on Skype before she decided to delete her OkCupid. We didn't chat for a while but we still didn't mind staying on the internet. Hopefully some day we could meet. I suppose a lot of people don't mind having internet friends or having long distance relationships. How do they do this? 1) Go to "Browse Matches". 2) Go to "Advanced" drop down menu. 3) Click "keywords". 4) Type in whatever keywords and it will automatically search all the profiles that have those keywords. If you didn't filter the location, it should find anyone in the world but the closest geographically go first I think. Uhm I don't think there is a way to hide that, sorry.

Armegoggon Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 I am not dating anyone more than 50km away from me. I live in a city of 4 million. I am not going to run out of men................yet lol Montreal is like 1.6million and Toronto is greater. Also, don't worry, you'll get messages from Quebec men. I suppose you could try to make your profile French so only Quebec men know how to speak French for the most part.
Author Gaeta Posted June 27, 2014 Author Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) Montreal is like 1.6million and Toronto is greater. Also, don't worry, you'll get messages from Quebec men. I suppose you could try to make your profile French so only Quebec men know how to speak French for the most part. Montreal represents half the population of our Province. With suburbs included what we call the Greater Montreal we are 4 millions. I am French but the last men on earth I would date is a French man We have a local dating website only in French then the rest of the population use POF, Badoo, okcupid, etc. We can make bilingual profiles etc. Attracting dates has never been a problem. I am just annoyed by these messages from the US. I believe they are scammers sent to new profiles. ETA: And a few of them are military. Yeah right! you're a handsome military in Texas and you're checking women in Montreal! Ridiculous Edited June 27, 2014 by Gaeta
SugarLips72 Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 I had a real issue with OKCupid and getting out of area matches. First of all I would ignore winks. If a guy is interested in you he will message you. apart from the search criteria above I cant remember if I was able to totally block guys out of my area or what.
