i have run across at least 2 profiles on here that SAY they are men looking for women,but show a WOMAN's picture..what's with that?

You should ask them

Hello, flashydancer. Such cases are likely the result of operator error. You can report such profiles through their profile, and we'll eventually get to it.

There should be an option to report a profile directly on the profile that includes an option of incorrect data. Obvious options could include gender (not sex), age, and other identification. You'd be amazed at how many sites have women who claim to be men looking for men as well.

Including other options such as pre-op (pre-operation) male to female, cross dressing female, legally separated, or write-in options that could be screened by review, approval, or simply reported. Also a program could simply rate frequent write-ins, so if 20 people write unicorn, that could be ignored, but if 5% write in a current term for individuals who are born and keep both physical gender aspects, that could be approved.

I think that would help alleviate confusion and make the site work better for all with the least labor.

CHARLES IT HAS JUST BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT I AM CLASSED AS A MAN LOOKING FOR A WOMAN, NO WONDER I KEEP GETTING SENT PICS OF FEMALES. I MAYBE CURVY BUT CAN ASSURE YOU STRAIGHT AS A DYE, ALL FEMALE LOL. PLEASE SORT THIS FOR ME.
THANKS LADIES FOR POINTING THIS OUT
