How do I search for members?
There are two ways that you can search our database: by username or by preferences. If you are not looking for a specific person, but rather someone who matches a description you give, then use the second form on the Search Page, which allows you to describe the kind of person you are looking for. You can search by almost any category of information that we keep track of, including sex, location, languages spoken, etc.You can also use the Browse page to pare down the selections by geographical location and age.
