Cupid.com is one of the oldest online dating websites targeted at the United States, UK, Australia, and Canada markets. The founders claim that the website has more than 8 million users.
Cupid.com began with its launch in the United Kingdom on 1 June 2002. The website was initially owned by Cupid plc, and then sold to NSI Holdings Ltd in 2014.
In 2015, Cupid.com launched a brand new feature to the online dating world called Wingman Barney.[1] [2] This is a virtual wingman that helps users start an anonymous conversation with those they like. If the addressee likes the person who is introduced by Wingman Barney and agrees to meet the sender, Cupid's wingman presents them with lifetime free private communication.
In June 2016, the website was totally redesigned and rebranded.[3] New features such as Quiz-matching and Likebook were introduced, along with a refreshed user interface.[4]
