Reviewers are impressed with OkCupid.com's capabilities as a free online dating website, with features rivaling larger sites. OkCupid.com combines the best of social networking, compatibility-testing and online dating. The site includes forums, a personality test, customized quizzes created by members and a "QuickMatch" feature that offers instant matching. The joining process is fast. Few reviewers have bad things to say about OkCupid.com. But some negatives include a low membership and the inability of the free site to verify the legitimacy of users. If you want a dating service with the largest membership, and you don't mind paying, then reviews say that Match.com (*est. $35 per month) is the best online dating site overall.
