Searching Someone by Username on OKCupid Dating
A month ago I matched with someone on OKCupid and we exchanged a few messages. Then I had some personal/family issues come up where I needed to step away from dating for a few weeks to help with them. In that time it looks like my match has unmatched with me (rightly so, since I didn't get back in a timely manner). OKCupid has no real search functionality. There certainly is no username search feature. In fact, the only way to have any control over the single members you view is via the Browse Matches link at the top of every page once you are signed in. Log onto OkCupid on your desktop. Click on your profile thumbnail on the top right hand side of the screen. A drop down box will appear, where you can select “Find a User.”. Type in the user’s name in the box where it says search by username. If their profile.
Like so many dating sites these days, navigating and searching seems to becoming more and more of an issue. OKCupid has no real search functionality. There certainly is no username search feature. In fact, the only way to have any control over the single members you view is via the Browse Matches link at the top of every page once you are signed in. You can perform a username search hack on the OKCupid dating site though, and it is pretty simple and easy to do.
Think it’s impossible? Think again!
Search Someone On Okcupid
Since my tutorial on How To Find Someone’s Tinder Profile was a tremendous success, I’m back with another super useful tutorial for another huge dating site: OkCupid.
I signed up for OkCupid way back in 2007 and actually met my ex-husband through that site. After our divorce I went back on OkCupid and then met the infamous Bank Robber. With multiple other stories of disappointment and heartache, I can officially say that Cupid’s aim has definitely been way off for me for this past decade.
But back to finding someone’s profile on OkCupid. Think about why you’re looking for it. Do you have a sneaking suspicion that your partner might be cheating? (hint: trust your gut!) Or are you hoping to see if the cute person at spin class might be on the app and this is a perfect way to connect? (hint: say hi next time!) Either way, make sure that you’re using this tutorial for good only.
Like the other posts, I’m going to break this down pretty easily into a few steps.
Okcupid Member Sign In
- Sign up for an account on OkCupid on your desktop/laptop (way easier than the mobile app). Oh and it’s totally up to you how much information you want to put in your profile in case the person in question sees you on the platform too.
- Start with the filters. Most important start with how old they are and limit the search to a few miles within their zip code.
- Drill deeper into the filters: Know how tall he/she is? Their views on children? Smoker vs non-smoker?
- Keep their last log-in as anywhere in the past year so you can get everyone that is matching your criteria.
- Now scroll through your matches.
- Bingo. You goteeem.
Now on an off chance that this didn’t immediately work, you may have to get rid of a few of the filters you put in. Maybe they answered that they are in fact smokers so taking that filter off might lead to their profile. Or maybe they lied about their age – you may have to expand the age radius.
Search For Someone On Okcupid
If that doesn’t work, there’s one last trick up my sleeve. The OkCupid Username. Though they recently did away with all usernames and opted instead for real people names, you can still find a profile by it’s old username. Say that the person you’re looking for has an Instagram of “SnowBoarder87” and a Twitter name of “SnowBoarder87”. There’s a pretty good chance that when they signed up for OkCupid, they used the same username, right? So try the url https://www.okcupid.com/profile/SnowBoarder87 and if that was their username, you should see their shiny face on the screen right about now 🙂
So that’s about it – that’s the only free way to find someone’s OkCupid profile. If you want some one on one talk time about it, go to the end of this post and you’ll see a way to connect directly with me for a phone tutorial.
If you’re looking for someone’s social media accounts including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Amazon Wishlist, Pinterest, (etc.), you should leave it to us professionals. We’ll track down someones entire electronic footprint (including arrests, sex offender status, marital vibes, etc.) and give you a detailed report including those huge red flags for only $29.99. For the price of the first round of drinks? I’d say that’s worth some peace of mind.
