OkCupid has so many great tests...they are fun, created by people just like you, and best of all you get to rate them,so that people can make changes. It's always nice to be able to make a change. Even if its just a little one.

On OKCupid, you can learn a lot about yourself while you search for a match. It's great! :D

OKCupid is my most secret thing I'm willing to admit... that I like online tests...

OkCupid has some fun tests and quizzes to get to know yourself better, and know about other people! ;)

At least on OKCupid, I don't have to pay $20 a month (or more) to be rejected or ignored by women. On the other hand, being free encourages others to well, jerk you around more.

OKCupid hasn't led me to love yet, but it helped me to make some really good friends when I moved to a new city. Plus, it's amazing for killing time.

OKCupid is a cool place to just be yourself free to tell the truth take brutally honest test and meet really cool people who like the same things you do.

I like the tests, although I wonder about some of the demented minds that devise them. So far the matching has been hopeless for me, so I've given up on that aspect of it. But I have chatted with people from all over the world, which is uber-cool!

While we have a small team here, we all take math (and all that math implies) very seriously. OkCupid is a fun project for us for a variety of reasons, only one of which is the actual content. We aim to be the best matching service on every front: superior technology, better math, better psychology. And of course, it's free, unlike all the others.

first off I'm not much into 'dating services'. the eHarmony ads on TV make me ill. And my experience with yahoo personals has been less than stellar (can you say 'trainwreck' ?) so when I stumbled upon (not from using stumbleupon, mind you... speaking of which, check out stumble video...trez cool) well, I near about closed the tab quick as that. but I lingered. Hmmm... free? really? mmmmK... let's waste some time here... i'm sure I will get that 'sign up for 14.99/mo and you can...

Here is a saying which has been overdone these days: "Live your life in the moment".I came across a nice take on this saying,which gives it a different and beautiful dimension altogether. People across the spectrum have had their share of people, familial or romantic ones,good and bad ones,bitter and worse ones, which have left us question the very basics of human bonding and relationships.Are they good or bad?Is they even worth the pain?DO I deserve it? The problem can be that the person...

I recently found this pic on flickr. I have decided to use it as the logo in my profile. This picture is just so special to me.It signifies unity,oneness.The couple in the picture signifies(for me) coming together of two people, leaving apart their differences,prejudice,insecurities,apprehensions,egos and becoming one. This is the first step towards realizing HIM. When two bodies intertwine together and it's impossible to say which one is which;when their souls converge and lose their...

I was in university in oklahoma and there were not a lot of guys to date within my faith. the closest large city was dallas tx, about three and a half hours away. So in order to meet people from down there we would occassionaly go to church activities over a weekend but also resort to the internet. Sometimes the internet worked, others it didnt. This is a story of just how badly it does not work sometimes. So I had met this guy online- lets call him fred. Fred had just moved to TX...

As an English teacher in Houston, I didn't have the opportunity to meet many eligible guys. Most coaches and all students did not qualify. So, when my good friend recommended that I go out with a former college buddy of her husband, I agreed. Chris was a computer hardware engineer. He was reasonably attractive, articulate, and available. What more could I ask? We had only dated about a month when Valentine's Day arrived. Chris showed up with roses and chocolate, which I appreciated. Too...

Here's what we'd love to see on OkCupid:
- [enter feature requests here]
- ???
- Maybe a little more interactivity wouldn't hurt, something nice and enjoyable game or whatever :P
- The ability to block the journals of users who you don't like on the front page. Or at least the ability to filter that and the new "Possible matches" on the front page by martial status and age. Seriously - the demographics of the site skew extremely young (lots of 20-21 year olds) and those are not really appropriate matches for middle aged people. (I guess unless you are a celebrity or millionaire)
