Okcupid For Friends
On OkCupid, you’re more than just a photo. You have stories to tell, and passions to share, and things to talk about that are more interesting than the weather. Get noticed for who you are, not what you look like. Because you deserve what dating deserves: better. By clicking Join, you agree to our Terms. Also, I know that most people use OKCupid for dating (even though 'new friends' is something a lot of people say they want) and I don't want people judging whether we would get along as friends based on the questions. So I only answered stuff that I thought would be important in a friend. I'm not directly aware of one, although Meetup.com is by far the best I know for meeting people with similar interests.

I once made a fake OkCupid profile for a friend. In the interest of full disclosure, we were drunk, and neither of us had ever used online dating before. And I photoshopped her face onto a picture of Kim Kardashian took from behind, looking over her shoulder. So that should give you some idea of how much we could barely even see what we were doing through our tears of laughter. BuzzFeed got BFFs to make OkCupid profiles for one another, except they did it in a serious way, not in the insane, immature, idiotic way that I did. (Although my Kim-friend hybrid got a lot of immediate responses from guys wanting to have sex.)
Your best friend knows you best, right? And you're probably more likely to be self-depreciating and not play to your strengths when writing your own profile, so having someone with your best interests boldly at heart is a great way to go about setting up an online dating profile. As one of the friends who had a profile made for him points out, his friend was able to be more honest about him in the profile than he was able to be about himself, which is quite heartwarming, in a way.
