How many of you are on OKcupid?

^^^ actually, dating sites overall have about an equal number of males and females. there is a slight difference from site to site but OKCupid is pretty balanced.

i am not positive why people have an idea that there are more men than women on the sites, but i do have a theory. maybe it's because membership varies by age bracket. there are more older women enrolled in proportion to men as compared to younger women in proportion to men - and younger women are the most highly sought after by ALL age brackets of males. so it may look to some men like there are hardly any women on dating sites because there aren't many young women on there... and the older women are effectively invisible in comparison.

well, it's been shown that there are a pretty much equal number of men and women on dating sites, so people's impression that there are more men than women is not accurate. it interests me to know why this impression exists.

many men do mass-message women (i had a second "dummy" profile to filter some of those men out), and it makes it very hard to figure out who is authentically interested. it makes women more jaded on the sites and less likely to respond much to men at all unless the man seems *really* interesting.

I'm on OKCupid. Though I only go on it every so often.

Grrrrrrrrrrr!
Why are all my best matches on the other side of the planet!?!

Use to be on there, gave up because too many of the British women on there are hypocrites.

Although I've just recently been turned down by the one girl I truly cared about, so might give it another go.

Did for a bit and got out of it. Was on Eharmony much longer but, decided to take myself off the market (for now or entirely - I'm not sure).

The problem I found with OK Cupid, at least in the major city that I live in, was that the faces barely changed. You had a chance to go in, see who you'd want to talk to, if none of the ten or fifteen you saw replied it seemed like you'd have to wait another couple years before you had another five or ten worth contacting again.

I go there for the tests. I like them. I talked to a few people there but I always stopped after a while. I get so tired talking to people...even online. I have to talk about their interests and they want answers from me and I hate that I have to think so much over everything I write. So now I've given up.

I have one, but haven't checked it in a while. I got bored of the selection and would have deleted it if I hadn't forgotten my password.

I've had mine for a couple years and been thinking about deleting it soon. Not a lot of people from my area on there. The few that are I find out to be underage after a few messages. The rest of them either flat out don't respond period, clearly aren't interested in me, or stop messaging me once I tell them I'm high functioning autistic. I think my favorite is when after we've been talking for a week I pop the question and ask if they wanna see a movie or something and the response is "well I'm kinda seeing someone right now." Ok....why the freak are you on a dating site talking to other guys then!? I've tried plenty of fish and my success is about the same, in fact most of the free dating sites I've tried have like the same 20-30 girls from the last site I tried that I know would probably never date me.

The life of an autistic person can be a lonely one. Oh well, I'm used to it by now....

I'm on it in the sense that years ago, I created an account and I don't think I ever canceled/deleted it.

I'm on it, and it is working so far.
