I joined Match back in February, not knowing quite what to expect but still optimistic, and am still dating a wonderful woman I met within the first week... so at least that's one so-far success story! :) I joined OKCupid back in 2008 and met three very nice women there early on, dating one for a few months, but after about 6 months I stopped getting replies to any notes I sent there and it seemed like most members simply wanted to chat on the forum or only gather as many visitors to their profile as possible.

Most people I messaged didn't even reply. I only had gotten two meet-ups/dates IRL from PoF but those weren't terribly great...we just ended up being friends but we don't talk much anymore. But of course I'd never dream of paying for a dating site, I bet it's probably much worse there anyway. I think I make better friends on MySpace or in person (at the right venues) anyway. Before I read this, I'd never heard of OkCupid before. I think I like them already...those figures they used to expose the massive dating paysite scam made me lol!
