my 1.5hr account got banned?

8 Upvotes

Hi there just super curious to if anyone has any idea how I got banned, or why?? I literally didn't message anyone. I had four photos. Three were fully clothed selfies, and two of the selfies had my pets. The final photo was a picture of my motorcycle gear, and it was NOT the first picture on the profile. The most "aggressive" thing in my bio said "anti-trump" and "now that the transphobes have left let me tell you about myself". I spent most of my time on it, just setting up my account and answering the prompts before i received a ban. The rest of my bio was talking about how i was going to go back to school (didnt say where or what for), hobbies, and what i was using the account for (LTR/friendship). I submitted a ban appeal, but I'm just completely stumped. I have never been banned from a dating site before.

A fillipina video call

So a fillipina i met on Ok cupid keeps video calling me and showing me her private parts and demanding i show her mine so that she can show more
Is it a scam ?


r/OkCupid 3d ago

Honestly with OKC, I hope they get into a class action lawsuit, pretty sure bots are illegal. And what the heck, the fact that people have to pay is beyond me.

My sent intros won't disappear - is this new?

2 Upvotes

So, OkCupid's FAQ still says that you won't see a profile anymore once you've written an intro. Well, I can still see them all, including all my likes and was wondering if this is just a new change and they didn't update the FAQ (which wouldn't be new for any social media platform) or if this might be a bug that I have to address to the support team.

Is there anyone woman on planet earth 🌍 for me lol?

0 Upvotes

I’ve been on every dating app, OKCupid included, I’ve paid money for premium subscriptions sometimes, I’ve tried to meet people irl, I’m just not lucky in love at all.

I’d hate to say one of the problems is I’m a trans 🏳️‍⚧️ guy (ftm), but it’s probably at least part of the reason. I could be the greatest guy around (I’m pretty close lol) but women don’t want to give me a chance bc of this reason. I can understand to some degree, everyone has preferences and I wouldn’t want to be with anyone who’s not fully accepting or who doesn’t see me as a complete man.

What can I say, I’m a pretty great guy. I’m not perfect and I never would claim to be, but I love big and with all my heart and I want to share my life and joys and everything with someone special.

I just turned 45 in June (I’m a Cancer ♋️ through and through), I live in central NJ, I’m educated, funny, dramatic, sarcastic, clever, emotional (high emotional IQ), affectionate, athletic (as much as I can be as I’m also disabled from many sports injuries), and good looking if I do say so myself. You be the judge though 😂

Okay fine, so I’m short. But good things do come in small packages. And my personality makes up for that tenfold. I love swimming, the beach, traveling, basketball, animals, tattoos (I have many tattoos), all forms of art (writing, painting, music), I love to read, I love to laugh, I’m big on movie and tv show quotes, I’m also big on sending music or playlists like the new “mix tape” to show how I feel.

I love cuddling, I love being together and just doing literally whatever, being totally comfortable with my partner, being able to talk about literally anything. I’m not into small talk - I get very deep (could be the Cancer ♋️ thing), I’m also a highly sensitive person, I pick up on emotional cues really quickly, I’m empathetic, I try to be understanding, I believe communication is key to any good relationship - I always try to admit when I’m wrong, compromise with my partner, and I’m not afraid to apologize. I look for sincere, genuine, organic connection.

I’m not a rich guy. I’ve struggled my whole life. I think it’s made me who I am. I keep going despite all the obstacles. I have a grown adult child (she’s almost 20). My life has been VERY interesting and I have a lot to offer because of it. I don’t pretend to have it all figured out even though I’m 45, and I’m still on this journey we call life.

I know I could make the right woman extremely happy in every possible way. I believe initial connection is organic and after that love is a choice that you choose every single day. It’s not always easy, it requires work, but if it’s real, it’s worth it 💯.

Anyway, I’m at the point now where I’ll relocate if need be. I’ll do anything to find the woman I belong with - bc it’s one of the few things I’ve always wanted from life. I believe love is part of the human experience everyone deserves to have. We’re not meant to be perfect, all put together, and have it all figured it before we are “allowed” to be in love or be loved. It’s okay to be broken. It doesn’t make us unworthy.

That’s my rant. I hope someone can relate to this and, if nothing else, feel a little less alone knowing you’re not the only one out there thinking these same things. 8 billion people on this planet and you’re telling me there’s not 1 woman out there that might be the one? Kinda hard to believe. Maybe it’s just me and my hopeless romantic nature.

Is this a Scam? Need suggestions?

2 Upvotes

Location: India

My friend matched with a guy on okcupid and they had been talking for around a month on WhatsApp. Today she received a call from a woman asking that why has she been calling her husband all along. My friend got confused and said she never called her husband, in fact she doesn't even know her. Then my friend told that she had been calling her friend from cupid, called Ajay, and called him again. This time the woman picked up the call saying this is her husband's number only and his name is Shehzad. She told that she recently found out that her husband has been talking to girls outside their marriage and that she is the third girl his wife found out about. She just asked to share the number of her husband (as it was a whatsapp call and she told she did not know her husband's other number via which he made WhatsApp).

That's it. No rebel mode. No asking for meeting. No money.

What could this possibly be? I read about many scams on cupid, could this also be one of them?

My Self Summary was wrongfully removed

3 Upvotes

My self Summary was wrongfully removed. Customer service admitted this. I requested the self summary to be returned to me and they told me there's nothing they can do since it was removed by the AI. I asked them to email me the text since they had to read the summary for my appeal and they NEVER RESPONDED it's been 4 days. That summary had over 2000 words. I will never be able to get it back to how it was. It was built over 6 years. Now it's just gone and OKC refuses to acknowledge they messed up despite admitting there was nothing wrong with the profile.

Does anyone have any advice retrieving what they STOLE?

Ok Cupid Questions

researching- Hard to explain why I need it but it's very important.

In Ok cupid answer about yourself - was there a question "If your partner told you they had over 100 sexual partners, what would your response be?"

please let me know if it's a real question or something similar- it doesn't sound legit.

thank you!

Account deleted suddenly

2 Upvotes

I have to say that this app has got much worse recently, with more fake profiles than real ones.

I reported a profile the other day because I actually know the girl whose photo they were using.

And now my account has been deleted. I haven't tried to open a new one so I don't know if I'm banned but I get an error code 5 if I try to log in.

I used to enjoy this app but I don't know if I can be bothered to use it anymore if stuff like this happens

Should I approach a girl I keep seeing on the subway?

4 Upvotes

I’m looking for some honest opinions.

Every morning on my way to work, I take the subway for a few stops. Over the past few weeks, I’ve noticed a girl who gets on and off at the same stations as me. We don’t know each other and have never spoken, but I think she’s absolutely stunning.

I’d like to ask her if she’d be interested in grabbing a coffee or going on a date, but I don’t want to come across as creepy. She also always wears headphones, which makes me think she probably wants to be left alone.

I’m wondering if I should approach her at all or just leave her alone. Is it considered weird to approach someone on the subway when you’ve never met before? Would it be better to wait until we’re off the train and walking out of the station?

If I do approach her, what’s the best way to do it without making her uncomfortable? Should I introduce myself and keep it brief?

One thing that probably doesn’t help is that I don’t consider myself particularly good-looking, so I’m probably overthinking whether I’d just come across as awkward or creepy.

I’d especially appreciate hearing from women. How would you feel if someone approached you in this situation? I definitely don’t want to make her uncomfortable or put her in an awkward position. If she’s not interested, I’d simply wish her a good day and move on.

What would you do?


r/OkCupid 12d ago

I'm pretty good at figuring out what some common profile statements mean if they're hidden red flags. For example "if you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best" means selfish and crazy. Now I'm realizing that women who say they just want someone who will share their fries...

6 Upvotes

means essentially the same thing. They're telling you they'll be unreliable or trustworthy about even basic things (e.g. won't say they're hungry when they very clearly are), and you need to be fine with that (e.g. will "share the fries" AKA accommodate them every time or else you're a bad partner).

To be clear, I think it's perfectly fine to not realize you're hungrier than you think, or to want to share dishes with a partner. But the "share your fries" trope is specifically centered around the idea of saying you aren't hungry when you are, then taking your partner's food when it shows up and you decide you were hungry after all. And further, making that a statement in your very limited space dating profile, tells us that doing this kind of thing is not just something that happens from time to time, but it's a major part of your personality.

So in summary, someone who makes a little "cute" statement like this, is an immediate left swipe for me. For they are insane. Anyone who agrees, is welcome to some fries.

Is it nothing but bots and scams? Made a profile few hrs ago and have 50 likes. Im just an average dude, short 5'5" in shape but relatively unremarkable lol. Hinge i might get 1 or 2 matches a month and a like here or there. I dont plan on paying but it just seems like the fakest dating app ive ever used.

6 month subscription expired today, and I got a like and 13 women interested in me

4 Upvotes

So I’ve had an okcupid account for 6 months. Not a single connection from it. Ive had success with bumble, feeld, hinge and facebook dating.
I should also caveat that I’m in an enm relationship, so connections are little tougher to make, as many women don’t want to be a married man’s second relationship.
Lo and behold on the day it expired i got one like! And 13 people checked out my profile after months and weeks of nothing. Pretty sure i will not be reupping my subscription to it.
Anyone else with similar experience?

By this I mean you come across a profile that is on the borderline and don't know whether to swipe right or left, how do you decide, what is your deciding factor, I wish there was a feature where you could choose to return to ones your not sure about later

First time using OkCupid. Can someone explain the difference between these?

3 Upvotes

Created my profile an hour before. App feels trashy and very deceptive

  • 33 people are interested ( I think 33 have viewed)
  • 31 people like you
  • 1 match ( that's passport )
  • 2 intros

I'm a little confused about what each of these means and how they're different. Thanks!

I miss when getting ghosted was the worst part of dating

20 Upvotes

now its just trying to figure out if the person im talking to is an actual human or a script running out of a server farm. Matched with someone yesterday, great banter, and then boom: "do u trade crypto?". So exhausting

At this point I only really care about profiles that have hard verification tied to the real world. I know some other apps are starting to integrate that Orb functionality to actually prove you're a breathing person and honestly okcupid needs to mandate something like that yesterday

Would much rather get rejected by a real flesh and blood person than flirt with a bot for 3 days tbh.

Blocked or ghosted by EVERYONE

8 Upvotes

I am at my wits' end. I've used OKCupid on and off since 2009, and have never had an experience remotely like this. For the last several months, every time I've gotten an intro from someone and responded, within 3 responses they have either blocked or ghosted me; usually, it is after my initial response. Now, if I was being blatantly rude or offensive in my replies I'd understand this, but I tend, instead, to start off pretty slowly, just returning the hello and asking about something from their profile. I've asked others for input, and no one has seen anything remotely objectionable in the replies I've made, so I'm at a loss. I just want to connect with someone, and instead, no matter what I do, I get blocked or ghosted almost the moment I get a match.

When this began, I had indications my messages weren't all being relayed to people; one person I managed to connect with via email said they hadn't gotten any of the messages I'd sent on OKCupid, after giving them my email address. I've heard similar things from others about messages not going through, but since this keeps happening in the first one or two messages, I haven't had the opportunity to ask anyone else.

Looking for any tips, really, on how to fix this, or explanations as to why this might be happening. Yes, I'm a guy, so I get that I'm not going to get messages left and right, but I used to have no issue meeting folks on the app, and now it's just impossible.

They must just be writing "hi" to 20 people and waiting for someone to offer enough money back.
