OkCupid shows you which states you live in, and whether you’re single or not. But you don’t have to answer that question until you actually sign up. Once you’ve signed up, you’ll see a list of questions at the top of the screen.
You can skip answering them if you want, but it’s best to just click “Next” and start filling out your profile.
If you decide to answer one of the questions, you’ll see a dropdown menu below it. Clicking on the arrow next to the word “Online” will reveal a list of categories. From there, you can select the category you’d like to check.
For example, if you’re looking for a relationship, you might want to select “Relationships.” Or maybe you’re interested in casual hookups, you could pick “Casual Hookups.”
Once you’ve selected the category you want to check, you’ll see a box labeled “Check Online Status?” Just click “Yes,” and a pop-up window will appear asking you to confirm your location.
This is important because you don’t want to accidentally check yourself as being offline while you’re really online. That would be embarrassing.
After confirming your location, you’ll see a pop-up window saying “Your status is now checked.”
And that’s it! Now you can continue browsing OkCupid without worrying about checking your online status.
Log In
OkCupid shows when users are logged in. So if you’re not logged in, you won’t be able to view who’s online.
If you’re looking for a date, you should log in to OkCupid. Otherwise, you may find yourself waiting for hours to meet someone.
When you sign up for OkCupid, you create a profile that includes information about your interests, hobbies, work experience, and location. This helps OkCupid match you with members based on similar interests and preferences.
After signing up, you can browse profiles of members near you. Once you’ve found a member you’d like to chat with, you can send them a message.
To keep things interesting, you can add photos and videos to your messages. And if you’re feeling extra flirty, you can use the “flirt bar.”
Once you’ve sent a message, you’ll receive a response within 24 hours. If you haven’t heard back after 48 hours, you can try sending another message.
If you still haven’t received any responses after 72 hours, you can assume that no one wants to talk to you.
Click “Settings”
OkCupid shows when you’re online because it uses cookies to track your activity. Cookies are small files stored on your computer that store information about your browsing habits. They help websites remember things like your username, language preferences, and search history.
When you visit OkCupid, it creates a cookie file containing this information. The next time you visit the site, it checks to see if there’s a cookie file already created. If there isn’t, it creates one and stores the information inside. This process happens automatically every time you visit the site.
If you delete the cookie file, you won’t be able to use OkCupid anymore. But if you’ve been logged out of the site, you may not realize that you need to log back in.
Then select Yes, Delete Cookie File. Now you should be able to access OkCupid again.
Scroll down to “Account Settings”
OkCupid shows whether you’re logged in or not when you visit the site. Scroll down to “Account Settings.” Click on “Settings” at the bottom of the page. Then scroll down to “Logged Out” and select “Yes.” This means you won’t be able to view any messages or send any messages until you log back in.
If you’re not logged out, you’ll still be able to view messages and send messages. But you won’t receive any responses unless you log back in.
