Oh OkCupid, what you used to be....what set OkCupid apart from all the other apps back in the day was that you could message for free upfront. Now you can't even do that anymore and what we have is yet another Tinder where you have to match by swiping. Apparently they see distance as a "preference" and if you want to set it as a deal breaker you have to pay for it. Don't waste your money; while you may get a lot of matches, alot of them are overseas with no profile and only 2 photos.
