Why do members want to know when I look at their profile or save them to a Hot List?

Members who are really active on the site like to let other members know when they look at their profile or Hot List them because it livens things up and often breaks the ice when it comes to emailing.
So many times we hear that members contact someone simply because he or she looked at their profile or Hot Listed them. Members also say that their Hot Lists lead them to meet members that they might not have seen in a search.
Think about it. If you saw that someone had Hot Listed you and you liked what you saw, wouldn’t you be more likely to send an email?

Why does my Hot List counter change?

Half of your Hot Lists tell you what you’re doing on the site. Every time you look at or contact another member, it shows up in your Hot Lists and the numbers go up accordingly.
The other half of your Hot Lists tell you about other members with regards to you. Every time someone looks at your profile or contacts you, it shows up in your Hot Lists and the numbers go up accordingly.
Also, in order to keep your Hot Lists up-to-date, we periodically clean out the members that have been in your “viewed” list for a while. This also changes the counter.

Do people actually meet on your site? Do they ever get married?

How confidential is my profile?

Your email address and password are kept completely confidential. Members can only see your photos and other personality details that you post in your profile.

Why am I not getting very many responses from other members?

If you’re not getting many responses, it might be a good time to spice up your profile and get personal with your emails. Here are a few suggestions to get you started.
Post photos in your profile. People like to talk to people they can see, so the more photos you have up, the more comfortable people will be emailing to you. In fact, most members only search for and write to people with photos, and members with photos get contacted more frequently than members without.
Your photos should show more than just what you look like — they should communicate your personality and the things that you love about your life! Ideally, a life that someone would want to be a part of.
What should you show? Think fun, happy, warm, interesting, smiles… and think about the things that you love about your life (skiing, painting, traveling, playing with your dog, etc.). The first photo should be a headshot and the others can be more creative. Just remember to make them clear, recent and in focus!
Take a look at our list of Things To Write About if you get really stuck.
Write great personal introductory emails. Although “Hey, you look cute, check out my profile,” may sound short and sweet, in fact, it really is a canned intro that is easily dismissed. When contacting other members, remember to ask yourself, “Why am I writing to this person?” and then tell him/her. Flattery, writing about things you have in common, and a sense of humor will get you everywhere.
Check your personal Inbox on the site. There may be messages waiting there that you’re not aware of. If you have “spam guard” on your personal email, our notices may not be reaching you. You can set your personal email to recognize email from us so you won’t miss future notices.
