When you’re searching for that perfect mate remember to stretch your 100% perfect match compatibility into the low 80’s so that you’re more open to meeting people and beginning new relationships.

Even diamonds start “in the rough”.

1) Login often, once a day at least. Active members, even free members, show up higher in the members search results.

2) Have several photos uploaded to your profile and make sure that your primary photo is only you, and no one else, in it. Profiles that have photos are searched through much more often.

3) It’s free to send winks to other members, so send them and hope that your profile is interesting enough that those you wink at will show mutual interest. At Match.com you can wink at 50 members every 24 hour period and only at the same member once every 30 minutes. But you wouldn’t ‘cyber-stalk’ someone using winks, would you?

Now you’re ready to join Match.com – see you there!

So says a lawsuit launched by a single Brooklyn man seeking $5 million in damages.

Attorney Norah Hart says her client, Sean McGinn, is hoping that the “crushed feeling” will not be felt by others hoping for a reply to winks and emails that never come.

Personally, I think that when you join Match.com, or most other online dating services, the requirement to send, receive and reply to emails and other introduction messages is spelled out quite clearly. And what does an “inactive member” look like? I would think that if you haven’t been logging in for 6 months then you’re inactive but I have an account with another major dating service that has not been active for years and I still receive the odd notification that someone has sent me a message.

So be it… Match.com does show with their profiles when someone has last logged in, beyond that, love is left to fate, I think, just as two people crossing opposite sides of the street never meet.

This is what “compatibility matching” means in it’s simplest terms.

Many dating services offer this uniquely binding feature, because, quite simply, what appeals to you will also appeal to someone like you.

Not to say that differences don’t matter, they do. But in the BIG PICTURE OF LOVE knowing that someone else shares the same ideals, goals and values as you do will make a world of, no a life, of difference in the love of your life.

Finding that “perfect match” is hard work too.

First you meet and date people in your teens and twenties. If you’re not living with someone, or already married, later on the choice of available, likable partners rapidly decreases.

Online dating helps not only to widen the pool of acceptable mates but also provides the introductions based on what you like, knowing that, again, what appeals to you will also appeal to someone like you.

So dive in, take the “compatibility challenge” and spend some quality time answering never-ending (seemingly) compatibility match questionnaires.

And find the love of your life!

I have received several of these emails in several email accounts (none having any relationship to an account at Match.com) and have determined that they are spoofing emails trying to hijack your Match Personals account and possibly access your credit card information and other personal information.
I have emailed Match.com and am waiting to hear from Match.com about this.
