chphan Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 So I haven't been using or visit OkCupid in a couple of years. Decided to use the site again in last few days but haven't really gotten to doing much with my profile. The search look normal as before and most of the people there I've seen on other sites. Now during the last few days I've just been lurking and haven't posted my picture up. So today I decided to post my picture up. All of a sudden my search is weird. It shrunk to less people and on top of that, they are all sort of over weight and not too attractive. I'm like what?? How did my search with no picture showed better result and more people to search with a profile picture to less result and pretty much only over weight people?
PinkCarnations Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 And you think we know the answers to your question because..
Brooke02 Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 If you google his to use OkCupid you will find tricks & advice. I came across an article (didn't save the link sorry) that was pretty cool. For example, if you update your profile everyday you get bumped up to the top of searches. And only answer 10 of the questions that are relevant to what your looking for. If you clear your questions and do 10 different ones your matches will change.. Eventually if you keep doing this you will fine people who are 100% matches. Before I knew this my searched were always the same people, after it does give you new people. Good luck:)
shinobininja Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Ok Cupid is a wash. I just deleted my profile this week due to the amounts of misfits pinging my inbox.
Mister Zen Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 I noticed this too as I recently got back on it. Okcupid pushes the fat and ugly women. But once a few cute women liked me on the "quickmatch" it started showing me hotter women.
Ducky71 Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Wow, really? "Fat" "Overweight" "Not too attractive" "Ugly women" Ya'll act like a bunch of high schoolers, no wonder you are reduced to E-dating, and still failing miserably... I guess all that really matters is if they're "hot" huh? How about you grow a pair and look beyond the T and A? Stick to snapping the carrot to teen computer porn, at least that way, the good folks out here in the real world don't have to listen to such unmitigated douchenozzlery...
IronZ Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 You might want to try Tinder instead. It literally has no matching algorithm other than to show you people close to your area. It's also extremely shallow so you might like it. Personally I think the app is very low brow but you might actually meet someone decent if you overlook all the terrible aspects of it.
HereNorThere Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Ok Cupid has been in the news lately for pretty scummy business practices. Plus, it's pretty horrible for general. There's a lot better dating sites out there. Lol @ the person who doesn't think you have to be physically attracted to a person to date them.
