Okcupid Intro
Can't send intros? I haven't used OkCupid in a couple of weeks so I don't know if this was an intentional update I've missed or not, but I just logged on and I can't seem to send intros? I go to my list of people I've like and there is only the option to unlike them or super like them. The option to send an intro or to comment on something in. OkCupid felt unique because you could send a message to some you really liked the look of which could help you stand out, now that is gone, and replaced by a paywall. Dating apps continue to get more superficial, based largely on first impression and appearance, and with paid features that take advantage of the most desperate.
You may have noticed something pretty exciting in your Likes tab on the app and the website:
An Intros tab! This is the place where you'll be able to easily see the people who have sent you an Intro message.
(as a reminder, an Intro is a first message from someone that you haven't Liked yet. Once you Like each other, it transforms into a Conversation and moves to the Conversations page)
If you're a paid member, you can see all of your Intros at once.
Okcupid Introduce Yourself Examples
If you don't have a paid subscription, you'll see one Intro message at a time. You can visit the person's profile to see the full Intro they sent you. Like them to move them to the Conversations page, or Pass on them to see the next Intro.
FAQ:

For real.

Okcupid Intro Message Disappeared
I got a notification that I received an Intro, but my Intros tab is empty!
That means the Intro is no longer on OkCupid OR that you have passed on the profile that sent you the intro. Your Intros tab will show all the new Intros you've received from accounts that are still active on OkCupid and who you have not yet passed on.
Okcupid A List Trial
I am a long-time user, and I have a paid membership, and I've noticed something weird.
Well spotted! The Intros tab will show you all the Intros you've received since January 1st, 2018, and will continue to show you all the new Intros you receive from here on out. If someone sent you an Intro prior to 1/1/18, you'll still see them in your Who Likes You page with the Intro snippet.
