I should say that I have used this system on another site & it does work, doesn't of course mean that you'll fall head over heels for each other but it does give you a starting point
Oh I agree about matching technology but what I'm talking about here is purely where you tick a box if you're interested in a profile & if that person has also seen your profile & ticked their box it becomes a match, the matching used on some sites where as you say they try to match interests is hopeless
No nothing wrong with that, it's an additional feature to work alongside that, take for example the many members to busy to contact everyone that may be of interest or those of a nervous disposition that don't like to be first, I suspect most people have a fear of rejection it's just stronger in some that others
What do you think about the system of matching used on some other sites where having looked at a members profile you have the have the option of ticking the box to show that you're interested in this person, when two members have shown interest in each other they appear on your matches list. It seems to me to be a way around the - will this person be interested in me \ shall I mail them or not issue.
Thanks to everyone for your posts, personally I think most members here adopt a sensible approach to posting, as mentioned there were a few dodgy ones on the Australian site today, this is unlike a site I was on a while ago where the women (mainly) would spend the day posting in graphic detail about how awful last nights date was & in the next breath wondered why they weren't getting any mail
A good point but surely if you were serious about someone it doesn't take long to scan through the old threads & see what they've said in the past, could be done even after first contact had been made.
I don't think you have anything to fear, everyone understands your sense of humour & I don't think you're ugly but then it's not me you have to impress
Sassy & Rizla, I agree with you, I personally always try to be myself when posting but I have read a couple of posts from members that would put me off ever contacting them, the posts may have been said in jest but there's no smoke without fire.
As this a dating site primarily I was wondering if members where careful when posting on the forums, bearing in mind that the threads get far more views than posts it's obvious that your comments are being watched by members who are potentially your next date,so do you say what you feel or bear the above in mind when posting?
Leaving the planet will cause lots of problems on here, there are already loads of comments about members looking at profiles on a different continent, imagine if you were in a different galaxy
You've got to admire the companies thinking here, if it's a success they'll be heroes, if it all goes wrong they've got the Atlantic ocean between the mozzies & their HQ, brilliant!
