I watched the seven minute video and while I found it entertaining, I saw two big flaws in the way OkCupid purports to match you based on compatibility: 1 OkCupid has three pillars of their algorithm — what you think, what you want your partner to think, and how important it is to you. We remain great friends. Each person's passions, fringe tastes, hidden quirks, and lusts are perhaps the most important aspects of chemistry.

And applying your advice to it seems to work pretty well. You can give it a try for free — signing up takes only two minutes — and find out how you match up with millions of singles online. Step two is done similarly, except, the question to answer is how much did your answers satisfy person B. In fact, 32% of successful couples agreed on all of them—which is 3.

OkCupid’s Pioneering Business Principles: Love Math, Stay Forever Free & Welcome Everyone

I watched the seven minute video and while I found it entertaining, I saw two big flaws in the way OkCupid purports to match you based on compatibility: 1 OkCupid has three pillars of their algorithm — what you think, what you want your partner to think, and how important it is to you. If they did, I would be out of a job. Most people — myself included — are wildly attracted to the opposite sex versions of themselves. Do you like skiing? Then HE better like skiing!? HE better be charismatic! You make a lot of money? HE better make a lot of money! Such commonalities may cause you to be more attracted to someone, but none of these things are good predictors of true compatibility. The problem, of course, is that eHarmony took all the fun out of their questions and removed attraction from the equation. So you have OkCupid, which is fluffy compatibility pseudoscience based on physical attraction and common interests as if mutual love of horror films has anything to do with anything and eHarmony, which is undoubtedly deeper, but ignores the base human impulse to look up attractive faces. Your thoughts, below, are appreciated. That clues you in to how the other person thinks and also gives you some clue as to their level of seriousness or humor. When I first joined OKC, I was curious and asked one of my online admirers what they looked at for potential dates. Then I look at her answers to the sex questions. Some of the other guys also mentioned they look at the explanations. My answers vary from serious to incredulous, and most are tinged with humor. So picking and choosing what you answer is better than just sequentially answering questions that pop up. I get more dates on ok cupid whereas my last date on eharmony was 4 months ago. The men seem all gung ho in the beginning on eharmony and do the whole eharmony communication but then it fizzles out. I do have one friend that met her husband on eharmony so it does work. I tend to make mandatory on ok cupid, the important things. Other mandatory questions are: 1. I answered no and think no man should have this as a yes. My only problem with ok cupid is that I think these questions are too black and white. I like to see someones thinking in how they answer questions and in doing so I can pick up their type of humor or perspectives more than I can on other sites. Other things that make it fun are the quizzes you can take. More seriously though, they might ask questions like are you still in love with an ex …and I pay attention to the answers. I also like to see the personality traits they formulate which are fun. I heard OK Cupid is a site for more creative types. I found I got bombarded with high contact from guys 20-35 and Im 54. Thats not my market!! The field is open, diverse, and it is free. I have the same profile on E-Harmony and Match. I am an African-American woman in her 30s and I feel like I am the most unattractive person in the world. OKC is more diverse than the paid sites. You will get odd people on all the sites. And sometimes you want fun and something to start a conversation with. I met a guy on OKC and we dated for three years. I met guys on POF and dated for months. Evan, I love but I must disagree with on this one. Especially if you an minority. I love making my friends take it as I try to guess their results. I have noticed to the men I score in the 80s and 90s with I tend to just get along with better so I think their system is pretty decent. As for eharmony, lame site. Used it for 3 months and met 4 men, not worth the money. There are also many many more questions, and users can pick which ones are relevant to them. So, arguably, it has a lot to do with something. To figure out if you have long-term potential, ask your date and yourself! Have you ever traveled around another country alone? Of all questions appropriate to a first date, the three listed above were the ones couples most often agreed on. In fact, 32% of successful couples agreed on all of them—which is 3. In fact, when you think about it, these questions could not be LESS relevant to the majority of the population. Does this have ANYTHING to do with what it takes to build a genuine 40-year-marriage — which is what compatibility is REALLY about? When taken with a grain of salt and used strategically, it works quite well. When I first started, I met with some high matches…we were eerily alike. I began to look for lower matches, and answers to critical questions that I felt were important very much like those mentioned by other posters and this seemed to work better. The site is diverse, but I seem to be attracting men with advance degrees who are somewhat intellectual. One of the first men I met up with gave me a detailed explanation of the matching system he was an economics professor and I immediately understood its inherent quirks. If someone weights a lot of questions very highly, that can really throw the whole thing off. I was only going to use it to sort of get my feet wet with on-line dating but I am going to stay with it a while longer. Example: it took decades to figure out why living in Colorado Springs correlated with low levels of tooth decay. In the case of the Three Questions, maybe the sailboat wishers are shirk responsibility or want to run away from difficult situations or topics. Maybe hating horror movies has to do with compassion. Maybe traveling alone could have to do with similar levels of curiosity and adventure seeking. So I guess OKC just suits a certain type. This time, I read Finding the one online first : So my profile is now more interesting, and the way I answered questions this time was more thoughtful. And I agree totally that stuff like this is irrelevant in the longterm! But it does help build a general idea of someone to see the kind of things they like, and it makes it easier in the first interactions I think. And surprise surprise — this time things have been much better! And applying your advice to it seems to work pretty well. If you run out of ideas one day maybe you could write a blog post for each main site, about generally how to use their set-up productively? Cheers and thank you for your work! Not sure if you ever tour or anything, but you have a growing fan base in Sydney — every single friend I have is now reading your blog. Just because someone finds something sinful does not mean that person is intolerant. Uh, yes it does. Sorry if that messes with your sense of the world around you. I just upset you. Thinking something is a sin does NOT mean they dislike those people or want to take away their rights. Some people, not all, are able to separate religion and politics. Hopefully Christians are more loving and tolerant despite recognizing something as a sin. In general I find that people on OKCupoid are more open in what they say about themselves in their profiles, and less likely to pen the cookie-cutter profiles that seem to be the overwhelming norm on Match. Luckily I read his OKCupid profile before I was about to message him on Match! Sadly I believe it has been discontinued. For these reasons, I way prefer OKCupid over Match, even though Match may boast a much larger membership in total. Like Match, you have no idea whether the matches they offer you are paying members with capability to message you. Same story with Chemistry — most of their members were Match members whose Match profiles were automatically ported over to Chemistry, and they were not paying members of Chemistry. At the end of the day, whether you both like horror movies or not is not going to determine whether you will have a good marriage that will last for 40 years. Uncovering true compatibility takes time months for sure and many conversations, but you have to get your foot in the door to begin those conversation. I used to provide funny commentaries after the answers and boy, the emails rolled in….. Interestingly enough, many guys would send me emails noting we were 99. I hold very little faith in the Ok Cupid methods of matching. I have tried eHarmony as well….. Bottom line, you have to read profiles and see photos hopefully current and full body photos and go from there. It was interesting to me that the guys matched with me on eHarmony had high relationship percentages with me on OkCupid. It was comforting to know that their matching was somewhat close. I concluded that OkCupid was a less expensive version of eHarmony. There may be serious issues that underlie the superficial surface meaning. To them, it means a big deal. Which is why the weighting system, whatever flaws it may have, is a good idea. Sorry if that messes with your sense of the world around you. I just upset you. Speaking of intolerance… Most if not all of what you wrote in a response to me was simply conjecture. I never wrote that I knew you or knew what was best for you. I tolerate sins from human beings nearly every day. It seems like such a gimmick. Reminds me of all those endless questionnaires girlfriends in the past tried to get me to do from magazines. Which brings me to another point. Women probably enjoy those just like they did with those magazine questions. Men who bother probably answer the questions in a way to get the most dates. I agree that it assumes people answer truthfully. But it also removes a bit of the mystery and fun out of getting to know someone. And what happens to opposites attract? If you want a better system of picking dates. Have someone that knows you and has your best interest filter out the losers. Thus, judging and dismissing a person because of a low match score can be very misleading. The best part is that there is NO DRAMA! Now I'm VERY happy with myself and my relationship. I can relax and not stress about the future, I'm enjoying the here and now and its so much FUN!

Luckily I read his OKCupid resistance before I was about to message him on Match. Even the points are up to the user. The site could label you More Liberal, for instance, if you consistently answer social issues like a tree-hugging peacenik. Trust me, it is better that way….
