Make any changes you'd like, then tap Submit.
Once you've answered a question, you can't fully remove it or un-answer it. You can mark it "Irrelevant" and set your answer to private so other members won't be able to see your answer if you'd prefer. This is because we also take into account the importance level that both of you have selected. Even if you choose the same answer, if one of you said it's "very important" and the other says it's "irrelevant" then it doesn't count as a match.
Because of that, some of our questions will be specific to this country, especially political questions which are very important to people these days. Of course, we recognize that not everyone on OkCupid is in America, and we have plenty of general questions that will apply to everyone. Please feel free to skip any questions that don't apply to you!
That said, we DO ask specific questions for people in other countries, based around the customs, politics, and pop culture in each country! When someone has a low compatibility percentage and a high enemy percentage, it's because you have little things in common. And, you probably disagree on some serious issues that are very important to you. My advice? Take those percentages seriously. I think this should be the Golden Rule of all dating apps and profiles.
If you only have one picture of yourself , it makes someone less likely to actually pursue you because a they don't have a good idea of what you look like, b it gives off a sense of low confidence, and c it looks like you're not putting in any effort. It sounds weird, but people can take subtle cues from someone's profile to gauge their temperament in real life, and if you're only posting one pic, you might seem a little shy or like you're trying to hide something.
The more transparency, the better, especially if you're looking to meet up eventually. What's cool about OkCupid is you have the opportunity to see who is creeping on your profile before you say anything. If you looked at someone's page, and they looked at your back, there's a chance they might be interested.
Also, it can clue you into prospective matches you haven't found when browsing. Want more of Bustle's Sex and Relationships coverage?
