To help people find solid matches with real potential for connection, the dating app OkCupid asks its users more than 3,000 questions that they’re free to answer either privately or publicly. (Those responses then get used to calculate a “match” score between you and any other user you come across on the app.) Well, OkCupid recently reviewed its data and released a list of its most answered questions. “[People] are prioritizing matching with people who have similar beliefs and values,” Melissa Hobley, OkCupid’s chief marketing officer, tells mbg. “Beyond the most answered questions, we also took a look at the questions that got our users talking the most. Get this—some of the most commented on questions of all time happen to be recent questions we added in over the last year about border control, climate change, feminism, political beliefs, and voting. We know these are topics our users care about.” These were the 19 most answered questions in 2019: With her warm, playful approach to coaching and facilitation, Kelly creates refreshingly candid spaces for processing and healing challenges around dating, sexuality, identity, body image, and relationships. She’s particularly enthusiastic about helping softhearted women get re-energized around the dating experience and find joy in the process of connecting with others. She believes relationships should be easy—and that, with room for self-reflection and the right toolkit, they can be.
