After reading The New Yorker article, I think more highly of OkCupid. I never had a problem with the site, just the guys that were contacting me off of the site. There are hundreds of questions that users can answer. With all that data, I think the % could be quite helpful providing that there are enough answered questions to make the match % statistically significant. For example, if I answered 400 questions, but some guy answered 14, the match % could be garbage.
Is compatibility in the OkCupid sense really that important. For example, is how messy a guy is a good indicator of how he would be as a husband and how that would factor in with my messiness/not so messiness?
Too many things to think about.
