How to Do OkCupid Search Now?

Tom also decided to take advantage of OKCupid’s profile-optimizing services. He accepted a free “promote me” trial that pushed his profile higher in search results and uploaded his pictures to OKCupid’s MyBestFace, essentially a free focus-group service that helps singles choose their most popular photos. The outcomes are determined by default search filters, taking into account your gender, location, age, etc. Modify your search at any time by introducing extra options such as interests, for example. By the way, Okcupid A-List members have an opportunity to add such options as Body Type as well as Attractiveness. Jun 25, 2021 The OkCupid search was once straightforward to search for people. As with many dating app upgrades, their increased privacy methods have made it harder to find someone.Today, I’ll explain how to find someone’s dating profile, whether that’s a past match, lost love, or to check whether a partner is cheating. Oh no!OkCupid requires you enable Javascript in your browser.

OkCupid changed its design, doing away with screen names (and screen name search) completely in 2018.

But you’re not out of luck!

Here are the top best ways to search for someone specific on OkCupid today.

1. Search by Their Old OkCupid Username (From Before the Redesign)

If the person you’re looking for signed up prior to the redesign in 2018, you can still find them by their old username!

Either you remember the person’s username or, if you don’t, you might be able to take a good guess at it based on the person’s Instagram, Facebook, etc.

If so, just go to your computer and enter this URL:

https://www.okcupid.com/profile/[the person’s old username]

2. Find Someone Using What You Know About Them

OkCupid has all sorts of filters that are super-nifty for finding someone you know.

The holy grail: what is the person’s zip code? Limit your search to that location only, as narrow as it will allow. And then add in age, height, etc. etc.

For last login, make that one as broad as you can (like anywhere in the past year).

Psst… what does your profile pic say about you?

Frequently Asked Questions

Why am I seeing people from outside of my Preferences?

If someone is an extra good match for you, but just slightly outside your age or distance range, you may see them suggested to you in some parts of OkCupid. For example, if you have your age range set as 34-43 and your distance as 25 miles, you may still see or be seen by good matches that are 33 or 44, and who are 28 miles away. We don't want you to miss out on these good matches!

I set my Preferences to “located anywhere”, why am I still seeing local people?

Setting your profile to look for people “located anywhere” includes people who live near you and also far away. We also make sure to only show you people who are interested in folks who live where you do.

Because the vast majority of members on OkCupid are looking only for people near them, you’ll likely still mostly see people near your location.

However, if you set your Looking For to “located anywhere” you will also see people located anywhere who are looking for people in your location.

How do I only see people in my state/country?

At the moment, we don’t have a way to filter by state or national borders. We're considering adding an option to filter by state/country, but it is not a currently available feature.

How can I only see people from far away?
