Every month we will be sharing the latest OkCupid matching questions and responses, showing what’s top of mind for our millions and millions of daters around the world. Our newest questions cover everything from dating during the pandemic to what you would do in a zombie apocalypse. And in 2021, our in-app matching questions have already been answered over 260 million times — 14% more than during the same timeframe last year.
As more and more daters get their coronavirus vaccines, singles are proudly sharing their status. The phrase “I’m vaccinated” on OkCupid profiles increased over 1,400% in May compared to January. And OkCupid made it even easier for daters by launching the “I’m Vaccinated” profile badge & stack last month to signal to other daters they’ve had at least one dose of the vaccine.
What we’re asking:
- Will you get the COVID-19 vaccine?
- Would you cancel a date with someone who didn’t want to take the COVID-19 vaccine?
- Will you wear a mask after the pandemic?
- Do you support marriage equality?
- Is it important to you that your match cares about the LGBTQ+ community?
- How long do you generally wait before asking a new match out on a date?
- What would you do in a zombie apocalypse?
What you’re saying:
