Interesting! When analyzing this data, it’s important to remember that self-reported information is not always accurate. So for example, of those who say they practice safe sex, not all of them may. Ultimately, OkCupid is a business and seeks to profit from its users; this is more important than setting up users to find long-term romantic success (and indeed is outright in tension with this goal). The app from my experience also does not adequately protect women from predatory behaviors, and in fact does an abysmal job of trying to do so. Screening is important. Dating apps have encouraged men to feel more entitled to women’s time and attention and encourage a superficial view of relationships. OkCupid will have to work harder to attract and retain its female user base if it and it’s sibling companies want to stay relevant and successful.
