And if you live near the border 90% of your matches are Canadian with no way to filter them out.

Hey you have a problem with canadians buddy??

No problem with Canadians, I just don't have a passport and don't feel like having to cross the border just to date.

I'm pretty sure you need at least an enhanced license, now.

Holy fuck this problem is so bad. I just need a simple -CA and the app would be way more usable

Seriously! And it hurts even more because the Canadians are way more attractive than the locals haha

Toronto girls :'(

Same problem on the other side of the border!

Sweet children, search has always been broken...

I remember like 10 years ago OKC was great. You could even look up profiles by name. I joined again last year and it was un-usable.
30
To be fair, my account is old. I used it for years, stopped using it because I got a girlfriend, got married, had a couple of kids then got divorced. I brushed it off, updated it, and still use it. Heck, I even have one photo from when I started on there... :P
11
and now i know why i come across 40 somethings trying to peddle that picture from 2001 like i dont notice.
22
Oh boy; quizzes, user submitted questions, page formatting... I miss personal web pages circa 2004-2011

Profiles had names back then.

I wish a small group of brilliant people would make an open-source version of OKC, much like the best version (circa 2005?), with user-created quizzes and so on.

God I wish they hadn't killed search. Fucking Match.com

Profile details don’t matter to photo swipers across all apps, not just OKC. If you want something more substantial it’s on you to vet them through conversation.

im actually thinking of taking pictures of myself holding up notes in my pictures "must love gaming" "read my profile" "i know what you did last summer"...
18
You should do it, that sounds awesome. May not have the desired effect, but it can’t hurt to try.

The phone app is broken. Double Take loops the same people even after I just swiped left or right on them (like it doesn't even register me performing an action).
8
i used to get that on the desktop version. i thought it was making me jump through a hoop deliberately to test my choices

Wait they removed the search part of discovery? Mine is still there for now I guess
3
It's broken, not removed.
2
It does suck man. I'm over here looking for gamer girls or at least ppl who have same interests and it just finds profiles with those words and says here ya go she said game 5 times on her profile. Your 90 percent matched. Smh.
3
why does it seem like I never have any of the problems with the app everyone else has?
2
I deleted my account. It's useless. Lmao 😂

Really? I was just thinking of making a new account too...

Is there even a legit dating site anymore? Would rewlly like to find one.
1
there's too much oversharing. people are trying to look for a perfect match through written questions, and not bothering to get to know someone in person.
people who list every band, tv show, they like, and other shit. what is there left to discover?
-7
So once you know someone likes a band you can’t ask what their favorite song is? Where they first heard about them? Learning a fact about someone is the lowest level of getting to know them. Building upon those facts is what makes a relationship.
I appreciate people that put time into crafting a profile that represents them truthfully (assumed). It helps me start a convo and figure out if we will most likely mesh. I personally value introspection and someone who knows what they’re looking for. And owns it in their profile.
Those are just my standards. You have different ones. That’s the beauty of online dating and finding someone that has a like minded approach and values.
10
And since they removed topics it even makes less sense.
Ooof, that was a change that didn’t sit well with me
It’s fucking bullshit and the main reason I don’t use the app anymore.
That was the change? Ffs
