The big news for today is how one guy hacked OKcupid.com to better his odds of finding love online - and it worked!

Chris McKinlay, a professed math geek and programmer, wrote a script, and several fake profiles on OKcupid.com to make his efforts of finding love easier. He managed to get 80+ dates in a short amount of time, after months of being unsuccessful prior to creating his bot-dating helpers, and even find true love, popping the question over Skype while his love was working far, far away (this wasn’t a long-distance affair to start with, it should be noted).

You can read the in-depth details on Wired.com here and maybe be inspired to work a little harder on your own methods.

But using fake profiles and automated systems on OKcupid.com is against policy and could get you banned before you find love. You’ve been warned.
