OK Cupid?

[Anonymous]

For eharmony, you have the option to skip the silly questions and communicate directly. If the other person accepts that request, then you can avoid the questions all-together.

OKCupid is for young kids looking to hookup. Just look at the kinds of questions that they ask people with profiles and some of the answers. It's for the very open, sexual generation. For people looking for something serious, eHarmony first, then Match.

My brother met his wife on Eharmony, after lots of unsuccessful dates on match.com...

match is just for hookups now. Which is sad, because you're paying or a hookup. Hello prostitution....

I've actually found OKC to be pretty good at sending me profiles of people who I find interesting. Their algorithm is good that way, I think. Attractive, though? Unfortunately not. And a lot of them live REALLY far from me.

I've gotten a bunch of guys messaging me, and I can honestly say that I don't find 95% of them attractive. a lot of them are heavy, and a lot of them just look older than me, by a lot. I work out daily and people assume i'm younger than my actual 40, so "old-looking chubby guy" doesn't really appeal to me. I've only met one actual guy through the service. he was cute and nice and as tall as he claimed BUT still had a wife and a lot of issues I decided were deal-breakers a few dates in. We stayed friends, though.

I'm on match and find that the men who they match me with look really old. I'm 45 but people think I'm 38/39. Of course, I've shown my girlfriends some of the guys on match and they think they look old too. Maybe women age better than men?

I haven't had much luck on match. I've received a lot of sleazy emails or IM's, been on a few dates - one guy was truly a nice, normal guy but no sparks.

At this stage, I'm pretty discouraged about online dating. Dating in your 40s sucks!!!!

I met my husband on ok Cupid. But it has such a " hook up only" stigma attached, we'll never tell . Fwiw - there were a lot of weirdos on there as well.

I found more plausible guys on Match than on OKCupid. I'm 40 and it definitely seemed like the pool on OKC was a lot smaller. I met one or two interesting and nice men on OKC, but although initially the slight hipster edge to OKC seemed appealing, there just didn't seem to be many attractive and non-hookup oriented men on it. Match takes patience, but the pool is large and ever-changing. OKC seemed more static.

How long were you on match before you found the one?
