The site was easier to use and had more features worth paying for 5 years ago than it does now. The big issue I have with OkCupid is they haven't actually tried to intelligently fix this pervasive problem and have barely changed the site at all except for taking away features instead of adding them. I don't know, there are tons of ways to address this problem. I'd warn the user (gently) that if they don't respond to messages and especially if they don't send any messages, they won't appear in search results or in swipe. Like OkCupid used to have dots that would say "Unlikely to respond". One idea would be to set a quota for sending messages and if it's not met, your profile falls to the bottom of the pile in discovery. I would also look for ways to coerce women to be more active and outgoing instead of letting all the men come to them. I'd also refine the matching algorithm to be even more accurate. Women's inbox view would default to the mutually liked folder. The change I'd make is very simple: Women would have 2 inboxes (men could have it too, I guess.) One is an inbox for people you mutually liked, the other is unsolicited messages. I highly recommend the rest of you find something else as well, because OkCupid is just not viable anymore. When I do, the messages are so disjointed due to the like system, that building a real connection is extremely awkward. Whereas before I had one or two prospective dates a week, now I can barely connect with anyone. The only difference, is now whatever love may have been found on the platform, is infinitely less likely. Women will still get obnoxious and harassing messages. If you can do it, it is a long and ugly sentence. Try to explain in a single sentence how OkCupid works. I have had a lot of great dates, a few relationships, and overall, a positive experience- until these changes. On and off throughout the years, I have used OkCupid.
