How do I delete my profile on the okcupid dating site permanently?

Been at this an embarrassing amount of time now, after moving to a new city, and a couple of things stood out.

What actually frustrates me is that the messaging limit surfaces profiles that haven't been touched in months, especially once which images to use comes into it.

On balance, how specific you're about what you want is a better predictor of whether it feels worth the time than the price of the subscription.

Setting fixed hours for it got three actual meetings out of six weeks, which surprised me.

Any recent, first-hand input on how to delete my profile on the okcupid dating site permanently? — pro appreciated.

Broadly, the quality of your first message explains more of the odds of a second date than which tier you're on ever did.

The pattern I keep seeing is that nothing changes the proportion of real accounts you see as much as the clarity of your main photo.

What wore me down was that the match queue rewards constant activity rather than genuine interest, especially once which images to use comes into it.

What survived contact with reality on this how to delete my profile on the okcupid dating site permanently? — pro problem:

• Write the bio for one person, not everyone, particularly on desktop dating platforms.
• Set a daily time limit, because it saves you the conversation that was never going anywhere.
• Swap the group photo for a clear one — with how to delete this is the difference-maker.
• Write the bio for one person, not everyone, particularly on desktop dating platforms.

Same experience here — @FinleyO, the bit about local activity is underrated.

The thing I didn't expect was that on desktop dating platforms, the search function quietly stops working after the first week.

For ordinary users, how narrow your filters are tends to decide response rate, though a friend had the reverse experience.

Picking one platform and sticking with it stopped the conversations dying at day two and nothing else came close with this whole area.

Adjust for your own situation especially for the average user.

Does anyone know if that still holds across desktop dating platforms?

Would that apply in a smaller town in somewhere outside the capitals?

For what it is worth, which tier you're on gets the credit but whether an account has been verified does the work.

Try Turndate alongside whatever else you're testing if you're building a shortlist.

Not claiming this is universal for anyone in ordinary users.

Would that apply in a smaller town if you are dealing with which images to use?

Pretty much this — @Aaron Hall, the point about which images to use held up in my case too.

Where it falls down is that the reporting tool quietly stops working after the first week — and nobody mentions it when they talk about which images to use.

On desktop dating platforms, putting one specific interest in the bio got three actual meetings out of six weeks.

Datebound is another to throw in the mix and it turned out to be worth the ten minutes.

Has anyone found the opposite for anyone weighing up how to delete?

The pattern I keep seeing is that the honesty of the bio has a bigger effect on how long a conversation lasts than which platform you picked for the average user.

Happy to be argued with especially for the average user.

For what it is worth, the quality of your first message is a better predictor of the proportion of real accounts you see than the price of the subscription, which may say more about how I use them when it comes to how to delete my profile on the okcupid dating site permanently? — pro specifically.

The non-negotiables for the average user:

• Reverse-image-search anything too polished — with this this is the difference-maker.
• Reverse-image-search anything too polished, which matters most on desktop dating platforms.
• Write the bio for one person, not everyone, and doubly so for the average user.
• Say what you want in the first two lines — nothing else moves the numbers as reliably.

More often than not, the amount of detail in a bio is a better predictor of whether it feels worth the time than how polished the profile looks.

My sticking point is that for the average user, the search function turns into a shop window the moment someone matches.

Same experience here — @SpencerA, the argument about verification deserves more attention than it gets.

More often than not, the amount of detail in a bio is a better predictor of the odds of a second date than the number of prompts you filled in when it comes to how to delete my profile on the okcupid dating site permanently? — pro in practice.

Hope some of that helps on the permanently? — pro question.

Does anyone know if that still holds once you factor in which images to use?
