Your primary profile picture has the most impact, but you'll want to optimize your profile text as well. You'll also get featured in the pay-to-unlock "Popular" Stack. If you’re rated highly on the attractiveness meter, you'll likely see hotter potential matches (and they'll see you). OkCupid’s ranking system determines your popularity in part by how many "likes" you get compared to other users in your area. Since those are a limited commodity and cost money to purchase more, your profile may be closer to the top of the heap than it would be in her Discover of Likes You feeds. As you can deduce from the name, that's a feed which only contains profiles of users who SuperLiked you. The advantage of sending a potential match a SuperLike is that your profile will appear in their SuperLikes stack. Premium members get 3 free weekly SuperLikes, while free users only get 1. If you really want to meet the most attractive singles on OkCupid, you need to take full advantage of the paid features. Upgrading your membership is the easy part. How To Use The Paid Perks To Your Advantage You’ll go on dates with interesting, attractive people without the hassle of having to find them yourself. Instead of paying a monthly fee for a dating site you don’t have time to check frequently, spend the money on a dating service instead. It’s also likely not worth paying for OkCupid if you don’t log on very often. Stick to using OkCupid for free, or if you’re not getting good results there switch to a free location-based dating app like Tinder or Bumble instead. If there aren’t a lot of users in your area, you probably won’t need the paid features to find people who intrigue you. The most popular OkCupid users get flooded with intros, so having one that stands out gives you a competitive edge. Seeing how a particular match answered different questions can give you valuable inspiration when writing your intro, too. You want to instantly match with people who intrigue you, rather than scrolling through the Stack feeds. Especially if you follow all the advice at the end of this article! Paying for OkCupid Premium is worth it if… If you’re using OkCupid for free and not getting the results you want, OkCupid Basic could save you quite a bit of time and frustration. The “Dealbreaker” feature allows you to screen out any of the search criteria you’re not willing to compromise on, which can save you a ton of time when screening matches. This age range is OkCupid’s largest demographic, so you’ll likely have a ton of potential matches. You’re in your early 30s to mid 40s and you live in an area with a lot of OkCupid users. Take a look at when you should (and shouldn't) pay for OkCupid. That being said, paying for the premium version can make for a better experience in some cases. OkCupid is one of the better free dating sites out there. Upgrading includes perks that make narrowing down your match pool a lot faster. And the person will only see your “intro” if they return your like. Sending the first message on OkCupid also requires you to verify your profile. When two people exchange likes, you can then exchange messages. Like most dating apps, OkCupid has a double opt-in format. You don’t have to be a Basic or Premium user to check out profiles there, but you will need to pay $1.99 to unlock each one for 7 days. The dating platform also offers two pay-per-use match feeds: Popular and New People. You can browse for matches in the various Stacks within the DoubleTake section, like a limited number of profiles daily, and message your matches.
