Edit Your Profile
Editing your profile not only makes it easier for potential matches to get to know you, but it also helps us match you with people who truly fit what you're looking for. The more accurate and up-to-date your profile is, the better your chances are of finding meaningful connections.NotÂ
Editing Your Profile
- Click here to edit your profile, and then click on the pencil icon located on the right side of each section to make edits.
- You can save portions of your profile and come back to them. Keep in mind that nothing gets posted until the "Summary" section is complete and approved. When editing, if you're writing for more than 45 minutes, you risk a session time-out, which could result in your data being lost.
- In some sections, you'll have the option to make the preference a 'Must-Have' in the 'What I'm looking for' portion of your profile. Click on 'Done' to save your changes.
- If you're editing a field that has to be sent for approval, it might take up to 24 hours before it's approved and posted to the site.
Visibility
- Your profile will automatically become visible after changes are approved.
- If you don't want your profile to be visible after editing, you'll need to hide it as soon as it's approved. You can hide your profile by accessing your Profile Settings.
Profile Completion Requirements
- As soon as you create an account, you can start searching and making connections with other members right away.
- Members with a paid subscription can still send and receive Messages, even if they have a hidden, incomplete, or pending profile.
- Some types of free communication, such as sending Likes, require you to have a photo uploaded to your profile.
Having Trouble Editing your Profile?
There are a variety of possible explanations:
- You submitted profile changes, but they were not approved.
- Your profile is Hidden.
- You tried to complete your profile, but you were typing your profile text for longer than 45 minutes, and you experienced a session time-out.
- If your profile is appearing normally for everyone else, it will appear normally for you once you clear your cache and cookies.
