OkCupid’s Dating Data Center
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 are about post-pandemic dating behaviors, and they’ve already gotten nearly 200,000 responses from our users. These new questions tell us the attitudes and behaviors of daters in a post-pandemic world.
Activity on OkCupid also alerts us to new dating trends. One trend we saw sparked by the pandemic was that women in particular became more invested in online dating. At the beginning of the pandemic, activity and engagement increased among women. They were sending more first messages than they were previously, and that has continued post-pandemic. And now, it’s showing to have paid off: conversations initiated by women on OkCupid tend to last more than double the length of those started by men.

Daters Are Hot for Climate Change Advocates
Daters on OkCupid have long been vocal about finding matches who share their beliefs and values, particularly when it comes to the causes they care about. In 2020, we found that people on OkCupid were passionate about matching with fellow daters who were registered to vote, and support the BLM movement. And so far in 2021, our data shows that OkCupid daters are hot for climate change advocates. In fact, nine in 10 daters on OkCupid say it is important to them that their match cares about the environment. So to help our users find the perfect, environmentally-conscious match, we’ve released our first-ever global Climate Change Advocate Profile Badge and Stack.
For all of Earth Month, every person on OkCupid who responds ‘Yes’ to the OkCupid question ‘Are you concerned about climate change & want a profile badge to show it’s important to you?’ will get the Climate Change Advocate badge automatically added to their profile. And better yet, they will be featured in the Climate Change Stack so fellow earth-lovers can easily find them and match over their shared care for the planet. Best yet? For every person who adds the badge to their profile, we’re donating $1 to EARTHDAY.ORG, an amazing global organization growing out of the first Earth Day in 1970 that’s the world’s largest recruiter to the environmental movement.*
*Up to $25,000.
Over the past four years, there’s been an over 450% increase in mentions of climate change and the environment on OkCupid profiles, and we anticipate that trend will continue as daters are becoming increasingly adamant about signaling to others what’s important to them. And these days, it’s definitely climate change. After all, the environment is one of the most popular question topics we have, with our questions on climate change and the environment garnering 7.5M responses worldwide.
Eighty-three percent of people on OkCupid are concerned about climate change, and so it’s not surprising that only 7% of OkCupid daters say they ‘rarely’ or ‘never’ recycle. Even their do-good-ing does not go to waste; people on OkCupid who are concerned about climate change get 37% more likes and 11% more matches than those who are not. We anticipate that the introduction of our Climate Change Advocate Badge and Stack will further increase likes and matches for these daters, potentially up to 4x.
Our data often reveals steep divides between men and women’s views on a variety of topics, but climate change is one where men and women are closely aligned. Women get the gold green star when it comes to caring about the planet, but men are not far behind, with 89% of women and 83% of men responding ‘Yes’ to ‘Is it important that your match cares about the environment?’ This 6% divide is one of the closest between the genders of any OkCupid questions, whether the topic is light or more serious. For example, when it comes to gun control reform, women are 18% more likely than men to believe the US needs stricter laws and there’s a 15% difference between genders on willingness to date someone who doesn’t support gender equality, with women being significantly less likely. Paying extra for guacamole is even more divisive than caring about climate change, as women are 8% more likely to do so.
OkCupid daters want to know how someone feels about climate change before they match, and our Climate Change Advocate Badge and Stack means that they can. But we found that having the Climate Change Advocate Badge on your profile reveals more than just your respect for the planet. Our OkCupid data reveals that, compared to those who aren’t, daters who are concerned about climate change are:
So now it’s time to add the Climate Change Advocate badge to your profile (click here) and match with someone who cares about the same things you do! Once you’ve found your match, here are some great date ideas from EARTHDAY.ORG that you can enjoy together:
