So, I signed up, as I mentioned yesterday, and after "favoriting" TEN different men without realizing it I'm a little paranoid about pressing anything. So I have a few questions. If anyone else uses it proficiently, I'd appreciate a tutorial. But for starters:

I think the way I favorited all those guys yesterday was that on the home page, below, you're given two photos, and apparently you pick one to either [like] or [don't like]. Can I just skip that? How do I get to the part where I can view profiles of all those nice cleancut nonsmoking guys I see on tv? Ack.




Also, this is the "communications" page. As you see, I have no flirts or likes or favorites or messages (well, I did have one but he was a smoker so I said thank you but we're not really a match). Does this mean no one has liked my photo? Because I've had 30 people view me, and now I'm paranoid. It's not a bad photo; in fact it's one of my favorites. Am I doing something wrong? Ack times two.

To answer your question about skipping...look in between the two pictures.  It says "skip".  Click on that to  go on.  If you want to look at cleancut dudes, click on "Search" on the top bar. 

Also, this is the "communications" page. As you see, I have no flirts or likes or favorites or messages (well, I did have one but he was a smoker so I said thank you but we're not really a match).

I'm getting used to this site too. Match.com was much easier to navigate.  It's possible no one has "liked" your picture, but don't sweat it.   The only time I look at "likes" is when I'm looking at their profiles.

By the way, MBJ...I thought you had remarried?

Me? I haven't even kissed a guy since my husband died! Spearmintleaf has remarried, I know (not tagging because she's not an old yet -- I think she's pregnant, as a matter of fact. So clearly not eligible for here ... or there).

I don't know how to answer your questions, but I think all of those men are pretty cute!

My brother's date on Friday went "very well," he said; I hope you score some great dates, too!

[flex]

Oh and you know what else? A lot of the profiles have pictures of scenery or boat/motorcycle/car or a dog/cat/parakeet ONLY. No actual pictures of the person. DUDE! lol

So right off the bat I get a guy asking for my phone number. I wrote back that I don't give out my number until I get to know someone. He wrote back "If you have a problem with tat why you here. You people from the city are paranoid. YUCK What a life".

"You people from the city?" Dude you live in the city of Homer. lol What a grouch.

Geez, flex! You're just getting the cream of the crop, aren't you?

It's kind of entertaining. I'm hoping a scammer will come along and fall into my clutches. It'll be fun. lol

Ooh...I got a nice guy on my fishing line. Maybe I can reel him in. lol

Update: we're meeting for coffee a week from Tuesday!
