Topic: Mutual Match Observations

So, I was poodling around with the Mutual Match thing last night, and I noticed a couple things:

1.) The feature was working fine -- once I clicked on a rating, the new pic and profile would come up within a second or two. I had seen some earlier reports about it stopping or freezing after a selection, but it worked great for me.

2.) I was really surprised to see the number of profiles which are essentially empty. This doesn't help with the whole decision-making process! When all you have in there is "Wanna no more, send me a note," that doesn't give me anything to work with. Half the time, there's not even a picture of the person there, and I can't honestly say I want to meet you if you have no information about yourself, and there's a picture of a duck wearing a chef's hat.

3.) But I do think the inclusion of the profile info (where there IS some!) on the selection screen is a good idea, since it allows you to learn something about each person, sequentially. So when I see "I like to get sloshed and walk in front of big trucks," I can just click the NO button and move on without the need for further research.

4.) I did find myself clicking on a fair number of MAYBEs, because sometimes there was enough profile info to get a sense of who the person is, but there were specific things that I would need to know which were not addressed. So a lot of my MAYBEs were more like "sounds good so far, but I can't say YES without more information."

I agree with Nevesgone........they always live so far away! I have checked only a couple of yes and several maybe's but without more informaqtion, I'm still stuck in the same situation as before. Are the yes people suppose to get in touch with us? I don't understand how this is suppose to work!

Hummmmmmmmmm things that make you go Hmmmmmmmm well as far as the mutual matches. If you have ran out of options maybe you should check your prefences and see if they can be adjusted. Mine are pretty open. And have every day went to check more matches and the profiles seem to be never ending.

But then I did not put a limit on distance either. Which will make a big difference.

Ohhh and as far as the NO, MAYBE & YES BUTTONS. Well I stayed with the NO OR MAYBE only. Why cause a pic and a few words upon the page still does not give one and ideal of the true person. To me no matter what I hear in thes forums of ones that confess there love or there future togethter. PLEASE let me hear those words once you have laid eyes upon them and spent some time with them. Some tend to fall in -love with ideal of love.

So, those that got a maybe from me hope they understand that I did not use the YES BUTTON.

Blueboxs always NO no pic no ratiing.

As far as freezing up at times yep have dealt with that or having to refresh. But slowly always getting better.

Humm Frank now sexual compatanilty don't think that option is on there. Lmao But very true if it ain't happening there it ain't happening. Hummm Shallow am I some may say Shhhhhhhhsss WHATEVER!!!!! Not like I go there right off the bat for there has to be that so called chemistry or spark for me. One I can feel comfortable with and can talk and say what comes to mind with ease. Before I venture there. But still realilty sets in if there is no connection when your being intimate you going to tell me that you will still per sway them as a long lasting partner. Now I can see if u have been with them for some time and somethng happens. But from the start. I really can't see that most would. Not saying they have to ROCK YOUR WORLD BEYOND REASONING But at least satisfaction.

My self I want one that at least in each area we are compatible to each and room to grow. And Mature enough to admit if it is not working out. Honesty , Trust & Respect and a sense of Humor are the biggest factors to me. These things wil make it or break it.flowerforyou bigsmile flowerforyou bigsmile flowerforyou

Just a guess, but I'm betting that I'm one of the few who lives farthest away than many. So my chances seem to have gone up in smoke.ohwell

UK never judge on the numbers for when choices are less then those do not get lost within the sea of many.

Just because one has a vast of choices humm so do the rest and many get overlooked.bigsmile

okay first of all they just started a new feature it is Mutual Matches but first you must go to were it says check for matches and you have to go through profiles it gives you and check either Yes, NO OR MAYBE. In time give it a day or two for if you click maybe or yes and if that same person also clicks on maybe or yes then they will come back as one of your matches and they wll show up there that way you will know if they also could be interested in you.

I'm with kojack on this one. I go through maybe 20 or so profiles, and I run out. I don't want to open up my settings too far because I'm looking for something in my area. Most of my Mutual Matches are from someone else choosing me first. LOL

Humm then ya should look at it this way take extra time and check out the ones you do have so far. More matches does not always mean better. Just means your your more open on your requirments are of another and you have an open mind on LDR or the possiblity of moving is not a closed subject.

I myself found out if I click no smoking it will cut my choices in more than half.grumble ............

I've done the whole LDR thing before, and it doesn't work for me (well, apparantly neither do the CDR's either! haha!). I prefer being able to see the person I'm dating, ya know?
