OkCupid

Insights

OkCupid markets itself as unique by having users answer questions to help filter who they connect with (as opposed to users choosing who they connect with based off of a few pictures). It also bans profiles for nudity/explicit content. Has an incognito mode so your profile is not viewed. Owned by The Match Group (Like Tinder,Hinge, and Match).
