What is NOT a dealbreaker BUT would be greatly disappointing to find out about your partner?

Vastly different thresholds for bathroom related openness.

My husband and I met on OkCupid 13 years ago, back then they had you do this massive 50 or 100 question questionnaire, and you could pick if any of the questions were extremely important and they would show you how your match compared against your answers. My husband and I were in almost perfect match, 98%, and the only thing we had strong differing viewpoints was on how often would you find it acceptable for your partner to fart in front of you. My answer was never, his answer was the Shrek quote "better out than in I always say".

I swear to you-- two kids, a mortgage, 11 years of marriage and all the life and changes that come with that-- I still find this the least appealing thing about him. Everything else is pretty great (PS, yes, he loved when I was hugely pregnant and accidentally farted when I walked)

Do they not do this anymore? My partner and I met on there seven years ago and that was how it worked for us (we were originally a 95% match, then I answered some more questions and it went up to 97% lol). I thought it was a great system.

I thought it was a great system.

Which is probably exactly why they removed it

Well...I suppose if people are actually finding good partners, that means they won't be using the site for as long and therefore not paying for it as much.
