Okcupid how many questions should i answer

The information is all useful and a strength of OkCupid over other sites , but some grouping and classification would be helpful. The Solution That's where this extension comes in. It allows you to create categories and assign questions to them. The question pages are manipulated to add these categories in addition to the standard "Agree", "Disagree", and "Find Out" filters already present.

Selecting a custom filter will reduce the page to questions you've put in the category. Because dating is very personal, and tied to individual priorities, and because OkCupid's question reservoir keeps growing, this extension does not provide any new ready-made filters. Your definition of a "Health" question won't be the same as mine. There is no artificial intelligence here. You have to tell it what you want, and teach it which questions fit. This takes some time. There are thousands of questions on the site, though some are more frequently encountered than others.

Each will need your guidance over time, for each filter you create. But once you've taught it that "Do you believe in miracles? Usage Adding a new question category Click "Add New Filter" on a question page and type a category name. The page will add the category to the bottom of the list.

Viewing only questions in a category Click that category in the filter list on the left. The question list will be redrawn to include only the questions in that category. It will also show questions that you have not yet assigned to a category.

Note that at first, that's all the questions! Teaching the extension what questions belong in the category Select a category. All questions will be in one of three types: normal questions that are in the category no visible change , questions not in the category hidden , and questions that you've never decided on.

These will be shown with a dashed border and some new buttons. If the question is one that fits in this category, click Yes. It was cool, and I learned a lot about myself through the thousands of questions I began to answer and more importantly, who I get along with. I remember when I was taking an eight hour train train ride that ran along the coastline between Portland, Oregon to Vancouver, British Columbia and finished answering over 3, questions from my iPhone on OkCupid.

I had a bit of an existential epiphany on that trip. From there, I began dating people around to It showed you compatibility percentages, level of friend percentage and enemy percentages. The people were incredibly interesting and the high percentages yielded more interesting queer and poly people that I was looking for at the time.

I ended up marrying a guy with similar progressive values as mine that I met on OkCupid in and we are still together. Let me repeat that: I married a guy from OkCupid.

I am still friendly with a large portion of people I met on OKC in the early s, so I really believed in the totality of the questions. I stopped using OkCupid after around when I got busy with a job and my long-term relationship from OkCupid. Their demographic has a day job at Buzzfeed. I revisited it and the questions have become a lot more dry for the serious eHarmony type dater, and made for fast coupling. The bold responses are my answers.

Because of that, some of our questions will be specific to this country, especially political questions which are very important to people these days. Of course, we recognize that not everyone on OkCupid is in America, and we have plenty of general questions that will apply to everyone.

Please feel free to skip any questions that don't apply to you! That said, we DO ask specific questions for people in other countries, based around the customs, politics, and pop culture in each country! So if you're not in the US, keep an eye out for questions that will be more relevant to you. This link will work on the Desktop website.

All about Match Questions Part of what makes OkCupid different we might even say better is our match questions that let you define yourself and what's important to you. Better go with both, I think? While I do sometimes judge an OkCupid user's whole existence based on his misuse of "your," it should be noted that I'm less harsh when it comes to words that have been out of common usage for centuries.

The first three all annoy me in different ways but that last one kind of turns me on. Ugh, I'm really never going to find someone. I wish I could say "always. I cannot account for what I do or do not manage to say at those moments. In my high school environmental studies class, when studying the detrimental impact a pipeline through Alaska would have on wildlife, one girl asked: "If the animals are in the way of the pipeline, why don't we just, like, kill all the animals?

I wonder what she's doing now. I bet she'd kill all the mosquitoes — er, "mosqutoes. I care about ecosystems and the butterfly effect and everything like that. I'm not a monster. I wasn't particularly picked on, but neither was kill-all-the-animals girl. I may have attended an exceptionally accepting school. At least more accepting than OkCupid's algorithm. Is this question meant to help nerds find each other? Or weed them out?

An ex of mine thought it was funny to pass gas in bed and then trap me under the covers, effectively hot-boxing me with noxious air. It was difficult to find anything humorous from that perspective. It's possible to be too comfortable, as it turns out. But this OkCupid thing is for finding my forever-love, and forever is a long time to, uh, hold back.

I think? It's actually a funny story, involving some old friends and an ongoing joke we share — well, probably not that funny to anybody else. Or relevant. How many of these questions deal with bodily functions and toilets? When do we get to the ones about how deserving I am of a man with beautiful arms and at least mediocre listening skills? Once, OkC recommended me as a match to my brother. Not the website's fault, really, and my brother reasoned that it was bound to happen because we both answered "yes" to this question and rated believing in dinosaurs as "very Important" — even though I've never been sure what "believe" means in this context.

Believe like I believe in climate change? Or believe in a hopeful way, like in unicorns and men who text back in a timely fashion?
