Best dating site I've used. Met some amazing people. I found the matching system great, I never had a bad conversation with anyone I was a 95% + match with. Met several people I dated, and even more I've become good friends with. Only site I found as good was The Onion personals which had a very small pool and was short lived.\
And I know several couples that have gotten married from OKC. Two people I dated did so, one was her first OKC date.
My gf and I of 1 year met through Okc. Haven't been on that site since we started dating, but I remember it as much better than other similarly oriented sites/apps, especially for the cost of nothing (except time). I used Tinder before that to try to find hookups, then got over it fast. Okc seems to be way more relationship oriented.
If you write a decent profile yourself and have a solid idea of the kind of person you like, and post 3-4 well chosen photos (no selfies, not overtly sexual, but rather looking clean and friendly, maybe a picture with your friends) it won't be too hard to get dates. Avoid cliches. I actually spent a decent amount of time going through other guys' profiles before writing mine. Helps you to not seem like everyone else. You'll notice that a lot of guys and girls on okc seem all the same by their profiles- don't fall into that trap!
Also, you get what you put into it. You're not going to find the perfect person in a day, or a week, or a month probably. You should make the profile with reasonable expectations as part of a long term "casting the net" to find someone compatible. If you're really desperate, it's probably not a good idea. Be happy with yourself first, allow a few months, check in occasionally (you don't have to compulsively check your messages every few hours) and chill. Go on as many dates as you feel comfortable with. Some are fun, some are awkward (hopefully you'll avoid terrible ones) but they all give you something to consider and something to work on.
I had the WORST experience ever on it. Match and POF (ironically right?) i didn't really have to deal with inappropriateness. On OKC it was some serious inappropriate stuff, men checking up on me after dates, lots of pressure to jump into relationships immediately..and just all around very unstable people on there. Not sure why all the unstable men were drawn to that site but wow...it got scary at times. I will never use it again.
Can't say I ever had a good experience with it. First off, in my area, women on the site are few and far between and to make it even worse, several were ghost profiles. Other than that, it basically turned into an endless cycle of sending out messages over and over again, but very rarely getting a reply back. Every once in a while, I would be able to talk to someone to the point where we swap numbers and meet up in person at some point. However, the vast majority of the time if I got a reply back, they would pretty much just use curt, pissy one/two word answers where it was clearly obvious they had no interest in talking but oddly enough responded back to me. That's just my experience with the site though.
It's been the worst out of any site/app i've used. I've had numerous messages with girls that died after one response back. I'm pretty sure that the attractive girls on there are getting millions of emails to the point they cant even respond to any normal message. I've probably sent over a 150 messages and maybe have gotten 4-5 responses back. Dont have too much faith in it.
