US based and used OK Cupid many years ago and thought I would try it again. Compared to my last experience where there were boatloads of profiles, there are not that many for an area like Austin - Dallas - San Antonio -Houston. Curiously I changed my filter to show me people from anywhere, which is just silly I know but its the only way to see people from the other side of the US, and it looks like every other profile is from someone in Israel. Now I am not a math major, but I was expecting countries that are orders of magnitude LARGER than Israel to have a greater numbers of women...

Is OK Cupid just selectively showing me people from Israel because I am in the US? I half wonder if they are fake profiles since most of their pictures show lush greenery in the background which seems odd...not a geography major either but last I heard its pretty dry there. 8-)

Asian Tgirl looking for serious date. I like men who are dominant. Come chat with me.

So I joined this last week not expecting anything as I've had a profile on a dozen different apps and never had a single click.

4 days in I log in and see 94 notifications, top 4 are in my capital city two hours north. Considering taking the 50% off the first month deal in the next few hours to see who they are and maybe message.

Anything to look out for when adding my card and Upgrading? So many different negative reviews and the fact anyone actually "likes me" is concerning.
