OkCupid: How to use the dating app
Apps like OkCupid give you the opportunity to find the love of your life online. Such dating agencies can give you potential partners far beyond your city or even Show across national borders whether that increases the chances of success, you have to judge for yourself or find out.
What is OkCupid?
OkCupid is an app that was launched internationally in 2004, but can now also be used in Germany. By the way, Germany is the first EU country where the app can be used. Here you can find like-minded people for Friendship, Love and find more. The target group of the app are people of all nationalities between about 25 and 35 years.
Who is the app not suitable for?
Since OkCupid relies on inner values and elevated conversation, this is not the right app for people who are only looking for erotic adventures.
People who don't want to reveal much about themselves (questions on intimate topics) or older users who are looking for a stable relationship should also use another app. Even very conservative people with strict world views are not at home here.
What's special about it?
OkCupid wants to stand out from other apps by not only relying on pictures, but also by placing a strong focus on the personality profile. This is about common interests and views that need to be discovered. There are even country-specific questions, in Germany, for example, whether it is called "der", "die" or "das" Nutella.
The gender-neutral language at OkCupid can also be described as special, here the focus is very deliberately on equality. You can also choose 22 different gender identities and 12 possibilities of sexual orientation.
Have you discovered a woman on the internet whom you would like to write to? Are you wondering how...
The cosmopolitan and not very superficial portal is modern and contemporary, the sometimes long loading and the fact that it is naturally more difficult to find suitable people close to where you live on an international platform find.
How does registration work?
You should plan about 20 minutes to register on OkCupid. You provide your e-mail address, your age and your place of residence. You can edit and change it afterwards.
Now indicate what the perfect partner should be like for you. The next step is to upload your photos and edit your personality tests.
How do I use OkCupid?
After you have created your profile as accurately and in as much detail as possible, you will be suggested people with whom you share many views, likes, dislikes and hobbies. Interesting: You can even enter your corona vaccination status if you want. Now you can decide whether you want to write to one of these people or start a live chat right away.
Under "Discover" you will then find several profiles that indicate in percentages how well the person would fit you. Here you can tap on the percentage and see what similarities you have. "Pass" shows you international profiles that match your profile. The speech bubble shows chat requests and chats made.
What will this cost me?
There is a free basic version that includes some features, but if you want more extras, you have to pay extra for them. Profile questions and a personality test (not scientifically created like in dating sites) are in the free version included by OkCupid so that you can create your profile as precisely as possible to find people you are, at least in theory fits.
Each additional matching selection function must be paid for separately. In terms of price, OkCupid is in the normal middle range. The calculation is made individually according to the basic or premium tariff and the desired additional options.
How can I cancel?
You cannot cancel OkCupid by simply uninstalling the app, you must actively unsubscribe from the profile settings in the app store and delete your data. The subscription will be automatically renewed if you do not cancel 14 days before the membership expires.
