Taking a break/hiding profile

...."always read details"

because isn't that where the devil is?

asking for a friend.

Oy, the magic of the SLS site!

Changing the old adage to three times, you’re a charm..... errrr wait.......

It does not matter what you do; some asshat is going to contact you. And...couples are just as guilty of paying no attention to profiles, said the straight girl.

idea of the day:

Ensure you are marked as straight.
Block females and couples.

This leaves single males, and you are listed as straight.

Wait, it may not work. SMs don't always read details or profiles so this may cause you to receive more attention than ever.

Back to my drawing board.

There's just too much damn pussy in California!

Unless he's getting married or major surgery with lots of recovery time...

That's a head scratcher.

<p>Instead of saying, "Taking a break" in the tagline, I would suggest something like, "Not meeting new people now" or "Not making new contacts". Some here will remember the debates we had regarding "Taking a break". We are no longer taking profiles offline for that now (due to people complaining about us doing that), but I still say that "Taking a break" indicates that you would not be using the profile at all or logging in to the site.</p>

Yeah, for anyone who doesn't want contacts, just blocking couples and men will cut your IMs down to near zero.

From Wayne's post, I would suggest blocking couples and SMs (those two are the vast majority here) and also change your tagline to say something like "currently taking a break, will update if that changes" (SFs tend to actually read profiles it seems).

Those two changes I would think will eliminate 99% of your lookers, while not causing 888 or others with similar thoughts to block you due to lack of pix or essay content.

@PAW, FWIW, while that idea sounds rational, that also increases the possibility of a block from our like minds.

For example, I have personally blocked dozens of people in the past month with zero pictures and/or those hiding pictures while viewing our profile. If they are on break, they shouldn’t be looking and/or viewing multiple times at our profile. It looks shady on them and we don’t do shady.

Reducing your interest levels and removing your pictures (move them to a private gallery that you open to existing friends) will help minimize the contacts you receive.

<p>You can no longer block all three 3 types. You can only block 2 out of the 3. You always have to have it open to at least one type (couples, single males or single females). If you are not going to use the site at all for a while, we can mark your profile as offline until you return.</p>

Go into; >edit profile >>who are you looking for

block all three options. This will hide your profile from everyone.

Anyone know how I can "hide" my profile so thst I am not visible. I would like to take a break from all the messages and just focus on the people I have met. I dont want to delete the account, just ensure noone can see/reach out to me.
