Okcupid Dead
Everyone knows autumn is considered “cuffing season,” or the time period when everyone seems to settle into comfy long-term relationships that’ll get them through the holidays and the dead of winter. In a new blog post, OKCupid has announced that user interest in one-night stands surges between late April and late June. If you’re looking to rack up new additions to your number of sexual partners in 2017, statistics show you have about a month to make it happen. This is it. It’s happening.
As OKCupid’s Kelly Cooper writes, “June is the most popular month for casual sex, with 33% more people looking for a one night stand compared to the other eleven months of the year.” The site tracks user responses to the following question, and apparently more people choose “one night” during April, May, and June than during any other time of the year.

OkCupid has been hit with a $5m class action lawsuit by a former user who claims to have paid money to be set up with “dead” profiles on the dating service.
The complaint, which was filed on 20th April in Chicago federal court, alleges that he paid for the OkCupid premium service to be connected with “A-list” OkCupid customers.
Perkins said he bought the A-List access for $44.99, in order to reveal the identities of 25 users who had liked his profile.
But according to his complaint, after paying, he discovered most of the names were linked to inactive accounts, according to the Cook County Record.
He then complained to Match Group via email, who responded saying the dead profiles were the result of a software bug, writing: “It does look like the reported Likes number was a bug on our end, that included Likes from accounts that have subsequently been removed from OkCupid.

“Our developers are aware of the issue, and are working on a fix so this doesn’t happen going forward. It’s definitely not something we did on purpose, and I’m sorry to hear that this bug affected you at all.”
The complaint says the email “was not so much an explanation as an effort to conceal the fraud.”
Perkins alleges that after paying for the premium service, users “routinely learn that most if not all of the users who like them have inactive accounts or “dead” accounts and, thus, are not viable dating options.”
His complaint argues that this practice breaches the Illinois Dating Referral Services Act, the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, along with breach of contract and unjust enrichment.
