would just post it and the software would put this in the right forum.

Does this site, block ANY communication if you are out of the age, height, ethnicity of what a person wants. In the past if someone preferred a certain of one of the above (well just age) I would never email them but would just send a like, if they wanted to respond but today it just said the person was not available for various reasons which didn't seem to happen before, is this something new-it was what I liked about the site, it didn't block you from a person or maybe it's OKCupid. I was wondering if the person didn't want a person above a certain age, why that person was even showing up in my matches to begin with. Is this blocking recent or always there?

I just thought maybe in the Meet Me he may have put, NO, but then again, if he did, why would show up under my Matches?

When you say " the person was not available for various reasons", could it be that they have deleted or hidden their account, or are they online at the time?

I wish this had an edit feature so I didn't have to keep adding things laugh then after I got the feedback from this site that the person no longer had the account, THEN the account disappeared.

I am only asking this because in my filters I say I only want someone within (I think) 50 miles of my city to contact me and I seem to get only people OVER 50 miles contacting me, is it because as I said I didn't go through the meet me and put no? But in the Meet Me it seems that only see the profiles of local and not long distance people, so can't block people from far away by saying no.

Maybe the people I see on Meet Me are only people who already liked me so that's why I see them there vs. Match which has anyone on there (there are a lot of very young men that I am not interested in) so don't know if there is a filter for Meet Me, anyone officially working for this site be able to answer all my questions?

I had liked this site, because even if you couldn't write an email to someone who wanted a certain age range, you could at least said a "like", I too, have age parameters but if someone out of it, sent a like, I'd at least take a look at it and maybe even meet the person if they sound interesting enough.

They seemed online, but the response was so quick it seemed to have been done by the computer.

It was within 100 miles that I put my filter, they should have something shorter like 25 miles but also, I guess I should put this in suggestions and if people support this one, they can second me, it's really annoying that on the Match page if you leave it for awhile even if you were not on the first page it automatically goes back to the first page when you go back to it.

I think it was that he was a scammer or maybe just voluntarily deleted his profile.
As for which filters work, I would say the regional filter (not distance ) and age group.

So here's another thing, I tried an experiment and there was someone who had an interesting profile but wanted women of a certain age which didn't include mine when I pressed email, the email page showed up not the prevention to contact page show up so I wondered that it didn't block like before, but I didn't write, however on another profile when I hit email again I got the prevention page, that said I didn't fit the criteria, it showed on his page that it was because I wasn't in his age bracket the was looking for but in the summery page of his profile it said 45-99 though on the prevention page (the one that blocks it said 18-48, he was 74!) wondering if he got ANY emails as I don't know if many women in that age bracket want a guy that age, (I shouldn't say that I realize as a friend of mine who is an older gentleman says he gets a lot but then the women mostly start just asking for money!) even I don't normally want a man that old, but thought his profile interesting and that you couldn't be from certain countries which I am not, am from the U.S., thought it might be race, I think he had a preference for blonde hair and blue eyes, but he didn't say white only I believe-can't find it now as I am on the forum page (does the computer figure it out that because I am an Asian I can't be that) I was going to put a joke in there and say I love your car, if I wore a blonde wig and blue contacts would you meet me?

In my profile I put an age range and the person must live only 100 miles (not 50) but still most of my emails are from people from out of state (the only ones should qualify would maybe Nevada or Arizona) sometimes out of country (again, only Mexico would qualify) and again out of my age bracket, sometimes WAAY out of the range, so why don't MY filters block others? Also I wanted to ask why oftentimes the mini summary says a person is from a certain city, but when you get the email from the person or go to the page of the email, it says an entirely different city although sometimes the city may be near by, is there just a lot of quirks in this sites system? I wish someone from the staff answered but mollybaby since they don't I appreciate your answers speculating what it might be LOL!!!

I just found his profile page and the one blocking me, the only other criterion is that the person be female which I am and he said preferably be blond and blue eye, so it leaves not being blonde etc. open. I'll move on but why I posted all above is how come with some filters work even though it's not blocking someone who fits any of the criteria except the "hidden" race one which one can't see and for others none of the filters work.

I also see on some men's profiles a link that they can contact people in their hometown, yet my profile doesn't have that, people reading this, do any others have that or not also?

If a 74 year old man wants at 18-48 year old woman, I would ignore him and leave him to the scammers. They will have a field-day with him.

As for the area you want to meet someone from, you can specify what your like, but that won't stop others from trying their luck.
You cannot block your own area, which in your case is North Americal so anybody from North America can contact you, irrespective of your personal preferences for local men. They can contact you, but you don't have to reply. You have choices too.

No, again, on his profile page, age range says 42-99 but if I hit email it says 18-48 and again on some men's profile page it says they are from one city and then when you email or you get an email from them it says another city, just don't understand why it does, ah well, I guess it needs to fix the bugs, but I won't tell them about them, I informed them about some men who I found out have fake profiles and they are still on there.

The details on a profile, age ranges for example, location etc, are not always reflected in the
"Block" settings. So a guy with a profile saying age 45-75 may have set the block 49 to 99.

Holy smokes! You’re in Hell-A, just go to any of the thousand dance clubs, or ten thousand bar/restaurants and mingle. Head up into Hollywood and see some comedy or live music, or any of the thousands of special interest groups (meetup.com) and meet people. Roll over to Santa Anita or Downtown Disney.

Or be content to play with 419ers and other predators of the unsavory variety in the online world.

Get a copy of LA or OC Weekly and check out all the stuff happening. You have so much available to do, very close by and all you have to do is go.
