As of September 2019, OkCupid has an audience size of 1.7 million, placing it on the 6th spot among online dating sites. OkCupid is the fifth most popular online dating site by audience reach (0.95%). Online Dating in the Time of Global Pandemic. In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, OkCupid has recorded a 700% increase in user activity. Four years ago, this guys accidentally catfishes me through OkCupid. Now we are engaged! 💍 Success 1/4. I'm asking if people have more or less success on OKCupid vs other ways to meet women. Well, I'm not trying to meet women. But as far as meeting men goes, I meet a far greater number of eligible ones on okcupid than in real life, which is, you know, why I use it: to expand my pool of potential dates.

  1. My SO and I matched on OKcupid 3 years ago. As soon as we started texting, I felt an immediate connection. He was so funny and sweet and we had a ton in common. We talked on the phone shortly after and agreed to first date that weekend. We went to lunch, a movie, then for a beer. We didnt want the date to end!
  2. As I remember, Prem was a very productive person, is hardworking, broad-minded and forward thinking individual. Intelligent, ambitious, energetic and proactive perfectionist. Desire for proficiency and education makes Prem a valuable asset to the team. Working with Prem is a signature of success.

If you and your date share a penchant for horror movies, you could be in for a scream — of a commited relationship, that is.

After analyzing the profiles of nearly 35,000 successful couples who met on OkCupid, the researchers found that a third of lucky lovers agreed on all three questions. That's 3.7 times the rate of simple coincidence.

The reason these questions work is because they're simple enough to bring up on a first date, but they also 'correlate to the deeper, unspeakable issues people actually care about' — like whether you could live without human interaction or enjoy the salty taste of sea air. It actually almost makes sense, right?

The OkCupid founders also revealed a few other hacks to sneak information about your date.

For example, if you want to know whether your date will sleep with you on the first date, ask them if they like the taste of beer. Those who do are 60% more likely to have sex with someone they just met. If you're curious whether your date is religious, ask them whether spelling and grammar mistakes annoy them. If they say no, they're probably somewhat religious — because tolerance correlates with a belief in God, the OkCupid wizards point out. And if you want to suss out your partner's political stance, ask whether they prefer the people in their life to be simple or complex. People who prefer complexity are more likely to be liberal when it comes to issues like the death penalty and same-sex marriage, and vice versa.
