Most dating sites have at least a few searching methods to allow you to find
people. These usually include some sort of basic search, where you set an age
range and distance, and an advanced search, where you can set all kinds of
criteria. One thing to keep in mind when it comes to advanced searches is the
more criteria you enter, the less search results you will get back. You don't
typically want to be too specific on your searches. Set an age range, the
maximum distance you want someone to be from you, and whether you want to
return profiles that have pictures only. For almost all situations this should
suffice. Searching using this method will bring back a good number of profiles,
giving you more to choose from. If you choose to only return profiles that have
pictures, keep in mind you will be losing out on about 70% of profiles, as most
people don't add a picture. This can be their loss, or yours. Just because
someone doesn't add a picture doesn't mean they aren't perfect for you, so
after checking out the profiles with pictures, you may want to check out ones
that don't as well, just to give you more to choose from.
