Cupid

Featuring several ways of finding your perfect match, Cupid is one of the most popular mainstream dating sites in the United States.

The site offers a modern design with plenty of icons and bold colors, delivering with easy-to-access dropdown menus and straightforward functioning.

Registration process is very quick (it takes a few minutes). You can register for free to create your profile to start browsing matches right away, send “winks” and an ice breaker “Cupid’s Arrow” to start an interaction. Or, upgrade for a more in-depth experience and the ability to contact other members directly.

Personalizing your profile is possible with things such as multiple profile pictures, a catchy background photo, videos, or a witty “About Me” section might take a bit longer than the initial quick sign-up process but is well worth the extra 15-20 minutes.

Interactions with other users can come in the form of sending flirty “winks” or “Cupid’s Arrow” ice breaker questions to users that might interest you. Or if you want to send a mail message or jump right into a chat, you’ll need to upgrade to a paid subscription.

The Search function allows you to create searches that can be as general or as specific as you want them to be. Unfortunately, these searches cannot be saved to use at a later date and have to be redone every time you come back to the site.

All in all, Cupid is a slick dating site with a modern feel and great features that offer online daters multiple ways to find a match.

Safety & Security: Cupid protects its members’ personal information when they sign up so they can remain anonymous while they chat and get to know the other users. Choose what you want to share. Don’t share anything until you’re completely comfortable. The site’s insite messaging and chat allows for interaction without having to use your personal communication tools.
