New Okcupid

In recent months, some of my reporting on CTech has been surrounding the popular dating app OkCupid and what insights it can tell us about society. In March, I wrote about how people were 13% more likely to get a match if they signaled their vaccination status, and the following month I highlighted how 77% of Israelis express ‘concerns for the fate of the planet’ due to climate change.

Dec 11, 2017 So making sure messaging on OkCupid is at its best is pretty important to us. That’s why — after weeks of testing, iterating, and improving — we’re launching our new messaging system across OkCupid, so everyone can enjoy the better experience it has created: we’re talking an increase in matches, fewer offensives messages, and more.

OkCupid Profile “About Me” #5: Things I am not. Using emojis for the OkCupid profile prompt “Things I am not” is the perfect chance to reveal your sassy side. Emojis can be interpreted in many different ways, so describing yourself with them in your OkCupid profile will lead to follow-up questions in your chat.

Well, two months have gone by and an entirely new government has formed in the Knesset. Since OkCupid offers its users up to 5,000 questions that can be answered to determine the responses to some of these issues, and given my past interest in such data, I wanted a catch my own date with the company to find out more.

“We can add questions within seconds,” said Michael Kaye, the company’s Global Communications & Public Relations Manager. I caught up with him earlier this month to discuss two major things happening: the return of Tel Aviv Pride and the change of the Israeli government – a welcomed rotation after years of political and policy stalemate. “This weekend, when we were still getting the news alerts about Benjamin Netanyahu, we immediately added questions about how Israelis feel about the new government and how long they think the new government will last.”

One of the most striking aspects of OkCupid is how it differentiates itself from other dating apps. As well as conventional swipe and messaging services, the app also asks its users dozens of questions about a myriad of subjects helping determine possible matches among users. I once downloaded the app and was asked if I ate meat, and then suddenly challenged on my views about Trump’s border wall. “These questions are all about dating, relationships, and sex, but also politics, healthcare, climate change, gun control, marriage equality, and racial equality,” he told me.

Israel is a smaller country than most, and so we had to wait a few weeks for the data into Israeli opinion on the new government. Michael kindly followed up with me a few days after our call via email and provided the results from 1.5 million questions answered by Israeli users since Naftali Bennett became the country’s new prime minister.

How do you feel about the new Israeli government?
Finally! (51%)
Not sure (40%)
It’s a disaster (10%)

Do you think the new Israeli government will last?
I have no idea(52%)
Yes (25%)
No (23%)

According to the data collected by OkCupid, more than half of single Israelis have no idea how successful the Bennett administration will be, only feeling relief that it represents a definitive government after all these years. Only 10% of Israelis think it will be a flat-out disaster, with roughly an equal share believing it will – or won’t – last at all.

New Okcupid Sucks

If you think that politics is not a sexy thing to discuss on a dating site that people use to find love, then you might be pleasantly – or drearily – surprised. As I wrote in March: “In 2019, 53% of OkCupid users said they couldn’t date someone with the opposite political opinion – with that number jumping up to nearly 70% in 2021. In total, 32% of OkCupid would rather share the same political beliefs with their partners than have good sex.”

“We know this is a hot topic for daters,” Michael told me when I mentioned the relationship between dating and politics. “In Israel, we’ve already seen 380,000 users say they enjoy discussing politics.” In the email follow-up, he provided the data that showed almost 50,000 OkCupid daters in Israel have said they like to discuss politics with their partners in a relationship. Of those, 63% prefer that their date shares their political views.

So, Israelis like fighting on dates – what else is new? Well, in an announcement that would coincide with Pride Month, Michael told me that OkCupid was adding 19 identities – up from 41 – to help make the platform be more inclusive for those in the LGBTQ+ community who may not fit into traditional labels. These include anything from gender identities to sexual preferences, positions, and body shapes.

“Israel has always been supportive of our LGBTQ+ efforts,” Michael affirmed. “Tel Aviv, but Israel as a whole, is a very accepting and inclusive country, which is why in all the marketing campaigns we’ve ever launched in Israel, there’s always a nod to the community or some level of inclusive messaging.” OkCupid appeared on a float at the Tel Aviv Pride March this year, marking the first time the dating app ventured outside of the U.S for such an occasion.

I was first exposed to the amount of data that something like OkCupid could provide when I was still in art school and living in New York. In 2014, I read “Dataclysm: Who We Are (When We Think No One’s Looking)” written by its co-founder Christian Rudder. The book took what was at the time 10 years of data to show us what users thought about love, sex, race, and identity. Today, in a world engulfed with social chaos and politicized vaccinations, it might be time for Rudder to gift us with an update.

“Our political questions have more than 100 million responses,” Michael concluded. “There have been more than 550 million responses to our questions in general in 2020 alone, and over 8.5 billion since we launched the app.”

Adding your phone number is now a requirement on OkCupid. You'll need it to create a new account, or (if you already have an account) to send messages or intros. Confirming your phone number helps keep your account safe and secure, and makes it easier for you to log in to OkCupid. Since it's safer and more convenient, it's a clear win-win.

If you can't receive SMS messages

New Okcupid Reddit

We confirm your phone number by sending a code via SMS. This means that you must have a device which can receive SMS messages, like a mobile phone. We cannot verify via landline, certain internet-based phone services, or certain texting apps. If you are not able to receive an SMS, you will be unable to create an OkCupid account, or send messages and intros from an existing account. At this time we do not have any workarounds or exceptions to this rule. If your number is not compatible with SMS, you will need to use another number.

If you see a message that your number is already in use

A phone number can only be verified on one OkCupid account at a time. This is because our Community Guidelines state that you may only have one active OkCupid account. To free up your phone number to use on your current account, you'll need to sign into and delete your other account. To do this:

  1. From Settings, log out of your current account
  2. Choose 'log in with phone'
  3. Enter your phone number and the SMS code to log into the account that is currently linked to your number
  4. Once you're logged in, go to your Settings page and delete the account.
  5. You can then log into your other account and add your number there.

If you're trying to sign up with your phone number, but aren't receiving a verification code

  1. First, make sure you entered the correct number. This sounds silly, but it's easy to type in the wrong number! You'll also want to make sure that the correct country code is selected.
  2. If you're still not seeing a code, you may want to contact your mobile carrier to ensure that “Message Blocking” is disabled. It could be that our code is getting automatically blocked as potential spam which is why you're not getting it.
  3. We cannot verify via landline, certain internet-based phone services, or certain texting apps. If you are not able to receive an SMS, you will be unable to create an OkCupid account, or send messages and intros from an existing account. If your number is not compatible with SMS, you will need to use another number.
  4. You'll also want to make sure that you have proper reception on your phone and can currently receive SMS messages to the number you are adding.
  5. Sometimes there are brief connection issues with sending an SMS - if you don't receive a code or get an error message, it's worth trying again in a few minutes.

If your number has changed

If your phone number has changed, you should be able to sign into your account using your email address and password as long as you're signing in from a device that you've verified in the past. Once you've signed into the account, you can follow the steps below to change your phone number:

Okcupid New York

  • Open OkCupid
  • Tap/click 'Sign in'
  • Submit the email address and password for your OkCupid account select the 'next' button don't hit the enter key or you'll be asked to verify your phone number.
  • Once you're logged in, follow the steps above to update your phone number

If you get a code but didn't request one

It's likely someone got confused about their number or accidentally entered yours. We recommend blocking the number you're receiving the verification text messages from so that they stop coming through.
If you ever do want to sign up for OkCupid, you'll need to make sure to unblock the number so you can verify your account.

If someone asks you to send them your code

Do not ever share your SMS code with anyone else. If someone says 'I just sent you a code from OkCupid, what is it?' this is a scam! They are trying to use your number on their account. If this happens, please email customer support and let us know.
