ok cupid

OkCupid is an online dating agency with a difference. You can choose not to pay anything to contact people. I say choose because the service is of course commercial in nature, as all such services have to be. (How else can the immense server storage requirement and the bandwidth be paid for?) OkCupid makes money by selling advertising, but you can subscribe to the site if you’re irritated by the adverts to stop them appearing. This is why you have a choice. The rates are reasonable (US$4 per month at the time of writing). Also, for a one-off fee of US$2, you get a mailbox that can store 5000 messages instead of the free offer of 300.The site uses only one, really long, test, consisting of multiple-choice questions after which you can indicate how important your prospective partner's responses to the same questions are. You only need to have a basic profile filled out in order to start using the site, however, and you can answer some of these questions every time you visit, so every time, you make it easier and easier (supposedly) for the site to find you a perfect match.Another thing you can do is to take tests. There are a huge number of tests you can take! The idea is that you want to match with somebody who is similar to yourself, and getting similar scores on the tests and similar answers to questions are a good indicator of compatibility.How do they differentiate themself from other matching services?We're free;We don't advertise;We have a fast joining process;We claim better matches through:questions that also include your ideal match's answers and how much they actually matter you, and superior personality analysis;We use smart automated processes, like picture cropping, flagging, etc;We accept user-contributed match questions.*We use our OWN web server software (The OKWS)We are constantly improving the site
