I encountered this technical lack in all dating services. As most users don't set a value for each field of their profiles, it becomes difficult to set filters for encounters of profiles and browsing (how to set filter for these two features??).
For example a woman wouldn't set "have children" field.


Using filter criteria I have to set a value for a field or "any".
However it would be very useful to filter profiles that have some fields as "have children" positive by exclusion (and not inclusion).

In online dating male profiles became something of witched! Mostly depreciated, but also reviewed with severe criteria and even need a photo unlike female ones. So what are criteria apart complete photo gallery showing strong shoulders and non-casual clothing? It's a general question: please don't visit my profile.

I'm new to website. As a man I signed up many dating websites; now I found this free. As a man I couldn't know psychology of women (why are they so successful? Why they throw away the issue of age?); however I'm enough intelligent to understand that I don't purchase a woman together a premium membership of advertised services but I likely would find scam. So if women don't appreciate someone is useless to search a specific social. It's clear for any woman, is not?
I noticed that modern empowered women are strangely (??) shy, even exist laws to protect them; and most (but not absolutely all) ask for anonymity online (I need it for different purpose: my relatives are very aggressive). In order to use a dating service you have first to assure that it's genuine and has large member community considering your area (why most paid services are much more popular? They have to catch female members avoiding scam, which are aggressive when allowing suggestive photos as most men would like, but women?). Then features useful would be that respect some shyness and allow women to make first pace and feel comfortable: the best is send a like in profiles encounter but don't underestimate sending winks; instead sending messages is counterproductive! As they are so a man would have to meet their esthetic criteria but they are not declared from female member. So how to be visible to older women and other disadvantaged women?
