I know how frustrating and money-consuming it can be to find love online. Most dating websites either take you for a ride, or offer you disappointment as the only result- but OkCupid is neither of this! Read on to know more about this efficient platform for online matchmaking.
What is OkCupid?
This OkCupid is synonymous with online dating today and has earned this reputation since its inception in 2003.
The reliability and efficiency of OkCupid has added feathers to its reputation for almost 20 years now. The biggest advantage of using OkCupid is that it doesn’t target any specified dating community subset, allowing users to get maximized exposure to find their suitable companions.
How does OkCupid work?
Here’s a guide to understand what OkCupid is and the way it works:
The first step- With accessibility on PC and mobiles, you have the option of setting up your account in either of these devices. You can either use your email id or Facebook account to set up your account. Once signed up, provide a few basic information including gender interest, zip code, birthday, and how serious you are about getting into a relationship. After filling in the details, use the customization option to create a unique profile.
Secondly- OkCupid provides you with the option of adding up to 6 profiles photos in the slots. It also provides a section where you can add your bio. Make sure you add interesting photos instead of mundane ones, and spice up your bio with witty and precise content.
The third step- Once you are done with the bio and photos, answer some basic questions provided by the online dating platform. OkCupid will use its algorithm to find matches based on the answers and your profile.
Finally- Since this dating app works on ‘mutual-like’ based system, you can scan others’ profiles and send likes or comments directly on the profiles you like. Another way to approach your suitable match is to either ‘swipe right’ or ‘swipe left’ to connect with someone on this platform.
