Profile Help


Profile Form Format

There are two question formats on the profile form: checkboxes and text fields.

For checkbox questions, you can sometimes make multiple selections, and other times only one. Information entered in checkboxes is used in the matching process.

For the text field questions, select the text field and type in the appropriate information. Information entered in free-text boxes is for descriptive purposes only. You will not be matched from this information.


Location Description

The location that appears in profiles (after a Member's age), is used for descriptive purposes only. A member's real location may be kept confidential, but the distance from you is calculated from information on the Registration Form. Therefore, if a member's profile says, "Located in a tropical Paradise," but they show up as being 10 miles from you, and you live in Boston, Massachusetts, the member may be dreaming of a new home!


Free Text Description

This area of the Profile is your chance to be creative. Please note the following:


Hide/Show

You can choose your profile availability by opting to Hide or Show your profile. If your profile is hidden, other members will NOT be able to match with you or browse your profile. However, if they know your anonymous handle, they WILL be able to correspond with you anonymously. You, on the other hand, will be able to match, browse and write to members...your profile hidden all the while.

Remember that your profile is automatically hidden under the following circumstances:
