How does matching on OkCupid work?

Here’s how it works: when you set up your profile, you’re given a series of questions that you can elect to skip or answer, which then contribute to your match percentage with prospective matches (a.k.a. how compatible you are with someone). You’re only required to answer 15, but the average OkCupid user answers 50.

Does OkCupid match based on attractiveness?

OKCupid uses its ranking system to choose which prospective matches it will display on your page. The people who are rated high see more pictures of people who are also rated high. And the people who are ranted low see more pictures of people who are also rated low.

There are also two different ways to go through matches. Using OkCupid’s DoubleTake format, you can swipe left or right like Tinder or Bumble for a breezy, low-investment level matching experience. Alternatively, you can browse matches by scrolling through multiple profiles.

What is a good match percentage on OkCupid?

The 99 percent match doesn’t tell you everything, and you know that, but it’s still something to work with. You assume that someone who matches with you in the 90 percent range is going to be a better fit than someone in the 80 percent range, and anything below a 70 percent should probably be filtered out.

Why am I not getting matches on OkCupid?

If you’re not seeing as many people as you expect, try double checking your Looking For settings. You may want to consider expanding those if they’re very restrictive. You may also want to reset your passes (you can do so from your settings page under Privacy) to take another look at people you’ve passed on.

How do you see who likes you on OkCupid without paying?

If you and another member Like each other, we always let you both know, for free. If they like you first: as soon as you Like their profile, you’ll see a pop-up telling you that you both Like each other! We also show you people who have Liked you and sent you an Intro in the intros section.

Can you match with someone on OkCupid without paying?

Accounts on OkCupid are entirely free, forever, but we do have a few paid feature offerings. The paid features are great to have, but not completely necessary for using the site.
