OkCupid presentation

Upon registration, you can choose several types of relationships at registration and even look for non-monogamous relationships. A personality test, with 15 questions, will allow to better define your profile and will allow okcupid to propose you members who could interest you. These questions are varied: duration of your previous relationships, religion, politics, job, money, and even astrology! If only 15 questions are randomly offered at registration, you can later answer more than 500 questions!

After registration, when you arrive on the homepage, you will find codes from other dating services but also some features exclusive to okcupid.

The discover tab displays a profile that could be compatible with you. The essential information is there: photos, location, size, his ad and a compatibility score. You can then tell if you like, like a lot or pass. Another profile will then be proposed.

Still in the discover tab, the “cupid’s picks” function allows you to tell if you like a person just by his picture. The Match function will propose you the profile that has the highest compatibility percentage with you. The passport function will propose you a compatible single in any country of the world : Australia, Japan, China, all countries.

The Questions tab allows you to search for singles according to their answers to the questions asked at registration. For example you can search for the question: “Would you consider dating someone who generally does not eat vegetables?” and display the profiles that answered Yes or No to this question.

In short, Okcupid offers many ways to find and meet compatible members.

For the more classic features we find the Like tab to see who has liked our profile or the profiles we have liked, and the message tab to see the history of conversations with other members.

Please note that on Okcupid you will not be able to send a message directly. You can send a short note along with a like or a superlike, but you will need a reciprocal like in order to chat by messenger.
