OkCupid has made a pretty major move in listening to the widening definitions of dating and relationships. They’ve introduced a feature specifically designed for polyamorous people, that allows people to date multiple people in a more open, honest way.
The dating site will now allow users who are set as ‘seeing someone’, ‘married’, or ‘in an open relationship’ to link their profiles with another user. This way, you can show potential dates that you’re committed to someone else upfront, and you and partner can look for dates together.
The new feature will rid the site of some of the confusion caused by users’ previous methods of explaining their situation – using a profile photo of two people or trying to write it out in their bio (H/T The Atlantic).

OkCupid say they decided to introduce the new tool after learning that 24% of its users are interested in group sex, while 42% would consider dating someone in an open or polyamorous relationship.
Jimena , OkCupid’s chief product officer, says: ‘It seems that now people are more open to polyamory as a concept.
‘Finding your partner is very important. You should have the option to express specifically and exactly who you are and what you need.’

Finally, however is the site full of fake profile with AI chat to just keep you paying? Extreme Chat, Iflirt, carving milfs and most Asian dating sites are more about the site making money than hooking like minded people up. Even AFF has gone far more toward being a money grab than is was years ago.
