BiCupid

Singles, Couples & Groups

If you are bi-sexual, bi-curious or just not sure BiCupid is there to help. It pulls in couples and singles on the lookout for relationships as well as people just looking for mixed sexual encounters.

While BiCupid is adult orientated, it is much more toned-down than the raunchy Friendfinder - it caters to relationships as well as one night stands.

Starting Out

Signing up is free of charge and creating a profile takes only a moment to do. You simply fill the form on the home page to get started.

Optionally, you can also upload a few photos to your profile. You'll be able to connect your Facebook page and import photos from there. Photos can be set to private or public. When photos are set to private you can grant or revoke access to other members.

Private photos are a great way to strike up a conversation with other members because people are curious and love mystery. They want to see what's hidden. This means you'll hopefully get quite a few request from potential dates wanting to see more of you.

While you don't have to fill in the detailed sections of your profile, it is a good idea to do it. Not only is adding some flair to your profile a way to look more attractive and interesting, it's also essential if you want to appear when others search.

Going for Gold

When you first join up, you'll be a Standard member and will only be able to converse with paying members who email or message you first.

As with most dating sites you will not be able to fully participate until you upgrade. The free account is essentially a teaser that will let you look around and send winks and flirts.

By paying for a Gold Membership, you will get additional benefits and access to more features; these include searching for compatible matches, and reverse matches. The distance matcher helps you locate people nearby is also locked up until you pay.

Likewise is the ability to initiate live chat with others, and appearing first in searches. Any messages you receive from other Standard members are hidden until either one of you upgrades. This essentially blocks free accounts from communicating with one another.

Summary...

BiCupid is strictly moderated so that the pool of members is kept as safe as possible. It's not a huge site but with a few thousand potential and verified matches, you're certain to find someone to match your bi-curious needs who is actually who they say they are.

Apps are available for both iTunes and Android phones.
