Dear OkCupid– If you’re thinking about getting out of OkCupid, it’s likely because it doesn’t fit with your goals and dating style. If that’s the case, there are a few reasons to cancel your subscription. You’ve likely signed up for an automatic renewal when you joined. This means that money is automatically deducted from your bank account or credit card once your subscription expires. This is something that many members overlook.
It’s not compatible with you
If you have tried using OkStupid and found a profile that is not compatible with you, there are several things you can do to make the experience more enjoyable. The first thing you need to do is ensure that the number you added is valid and that you can receive messages. If you cannot receive SMSes, you will not be able to create an account and will have to use another phone number. After you add a number, you must make sure that it can receive text messages and try again after a few minutes.
Another thing you can do to improve your chances of finding a good match is to increase the compatibility score. Studies have shown that the more you’re compatible with someone, the more likely you are to get an online conversation. In an experiment, users who were 70% compatible were more likely to get a message back from someone who is 90% compatible.
It’s not compatible with your goals
OkCupid has been criticized for their ad campaigns, which often contain inflammatory images. For example, in one of their ads, a woman dropped a gun into the bathroom. The company also kicked white supremacist Chris Cantwell off its platform after the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. In addition, they were banned by the New York City subway system for running an ad criticizing the far right.
It’s not compatible with your dating style
Whether or not OkStupid is compatible with your dating style will depend on how you use the site and what your dating preferences are. While you might be attracted to the bold, colorful ads and suggestive ad copy, this dating app doesn’t fit every style. Its mission statement emphasizes inclusivity, which is key when it comes to dating.
OkStupid has changed a bit over the years. Today, it has a more Tinder-like feel, focusing more on swiping, than on finding a partner. It also has removed the ability to message users unless you match. If the two of you do not match, your message will be rejected and won’t even reach the person’s inbox. OkCupid has stated that these changes reduce the number of fake profiles and offensive messages. But if these changes have lowered the number of matchmaking relationships, then OkCupid is now a dating ghost town.
OkStupid also asks a lot of politically-charged questions. Unlike other dating sites, OkCupid does not allow you to “like” profiles in general. However, you can like photos or send messages to other people. But if you’re an anti-liberal, you may find yourself alienated by OkStupid’s questions.
