The advanced search is by far the easiest way to discover exactly the type of members you like and allows you to filter by various profile fields such as interests, lingos, style, ethnicity, and more. Throughout nearly every page of the site you are prompted to view featured members, which is a handpicked list of users.

Profiles are rather extensive, containing all sign-up info, such as the essentials and specs fields, as well as additional profile pictures, albums, videos, events, and gifts that member has received. When viewing each profile you can create a note about that profile for your eyes only or leave a comment on the profile for all to see. You can also directly message that member, with the option to add links and emoticons to your message, or send that profile to a friend. If sending a message is too direct for your liking, you can show interest in others by commenting on photos, rating music on a one-through-five star scale, commenting on or rating videos and blogs, or adding a comment to a forum.
