Today I am in the “Member Spotlight” which is a random picking of your profile that puts you on the homer page of Match.com and it’s partner websites. Think of this as a great reward for being vigilant in having a complete profile and a nice picture. The picture, of course, should be a upper body or a head and shoulders picture of only you. I will expect more profile visits and messages with this sudden added visibility of my profile. When you are picked for the “Member Spotlight” this is brought to your attention by a note under your “Edit Profile” and “Visibility Options”. Of course, you can opt out of being in the “Member Spotlight” but I wouldn’t do that. And, you can be a free member to receive this honor.

Today I also received a new email of “Member Matches” to my profile. Photos and links to profiles of more women that are very far away from me. The closest if about a 6 hour drive. I wish Match.com could do better on this, or is it a setting that I must change.

Yes, this matches can be a “Mutual” or a “Reverse” match as well as results from a “Saved Search”, I had selected none of these options so I received profiles and pictures of members that scored high on the “Match” to my profile. Changing these settings by going to the “Match By Mail” option in your “Account Settings” will make a good difference in the matches that are sent. You can also have these matches sent to you every day, 3 times a weeks, or weekly. A nice choice of delivery times, good for you Match.com.

This is the final day of my “Live Review” of Match.com. After today I will not be editing or changing my profile at all. Now it is up to you. Find me, search for “RguyRtime” and let’s see how long my profile remains available at Match.com. Any comments about Match.com will be from a different member account as I spot check up on the changes to Match.com.
