If I'm understanding correctly, everybody has the same problem I do. If you email me saying someone is interested in me, just tell me who it is. If I'm interested I'll respond to him, if not, I won't. What's the problem with that? It makes it so much more simple to figure out!

I wish JSH would just come right out and tell you who it is.
I get that e-mail from JSH and then I go to mutual matches and there are 50 people there of all ages.
Yes I do know that the person is more than likely close to my age but some days there are 10 or more people close to my age but only one wants me to rate them. Who is it? I don't know!

Mike and Pete, thanks for your posts. I totally agree with Pete's answers of "Yes" to all 3 of Mike's questions. I turned off ALL notifications of mail from JSH. I would have preferred options to receive message notifications but not mutual matches. -Tom

If it weren't anonymous, would you use it?"

It's certainly not meant to be misleading. The reason the system works this way is because many people wish to express their interest in other users anonymously. They only want to be revealed if you are also interested in them. That alleviates the fear of rejection when using Mutual Match for some users, and is why the system is designed the way it is.

Other users like yourself don't care if the system shows that you're interested in the other person. We're trying to figure out a way to better accomodate both people without the wording being so confusing. We spell it out in our email to you in as much detail as possible. If you read it carefully, you'll see that we state exactly what you need to do in order to see if you are a match. But it seems like a lot of people don't read that email, at least not carefully, so we may have to find a better solution.




I've said it so many times....just make this an optional feature.yawn

Mutual Match already IS optional. If you don't "rate" any profiles you won't have any mutual matches. Just ignore that section of the home page.

I kind of like the idea. You're not really "rating" other people or their pics as much as stating your degree of interest in them. More options are needed perhaps but overall it's a great ice-breaker.

The problem I have with it is it's showing me people from hundreds of miles away. Is this some glitch or does the system need tweaking??

New to this site but I like what I see so far.

still would like to turn mine off ..... i dont want a "mutual" match at this point in my life...... and i agree with tom even if i were looking for a "match" i would turn mine off cause if they are really interested in me they would email..... just my thoughts and i know everyone is different i respect that it may be good for lots of people but the option of using this tool or not should be though about......

welcome to just say hi tomflowerforyou flowerforyou

...even if i were looking for a "match"...


Buttons I don't understand that at all. You're on a dating site for.... ??

I visit hundreds of sites of all kinds every month. There's no way I use every feature of every site I visit. Some parts of some of those sites are downright annoying to me. But you know what? I ignore those parts and use only the features I'm there to see.

Take the anonymity out of it and the system is worthless. No one would use it then. Finding out who is interested in you isn't difficult. You just select a setting for all the profiles in your area that match your search criteria and see who comes up. I did EVERY SINGLE profile in about twenty minutes. Granted I don't live in a major metropolitan area but you can't call Milwaukee a small town either.

It seems some people here don't like the ambiguity of the program. Good grief what IS certain in the dating world? If anything the mutual match system takes away some of the guesswork here.

Sure it could use some tweaks - maybe an option to remove yourself from the lineup would be appreciated, apparently there are technical issues to overcome, opting out of the email notification is certainly a good idea - but overall I think this is a terrific tool to help people connect.

From what Ive seen, if someone clicks yes on you, then you go and start rating people, the very first person it shows you is the one that clicked yes on you.

Sorry if someone already posted this.
