Demographics - age, gender - "Interested in me" #125

Open Dportrait opened 9 years ago

Dportrait commented 9 years ago

Would be great if there was an option to easily see if the member was likely to be interested in my profile based on simple demographics eg Age, gender etc.

OKC doesn't do this, so keeps suggesting people only interested in people under 25 or 30 even though I'm in my 40s...

AFAIK, this would be difficult to implement. I don't have access to OkC's backend, so I can't do things like tweak suggestions without a huge amount of work and a clunky experience.

I'll leave this open though, in case I ever get around to implementing preferences for their preferences, and an alert at the top of the profile that tells you if it's not a match.

I realise you can't tweak their suggestions - however being able to have a notification at the top of their profile page via your plugin that they are unlikely to be interested in me would still be handy :)

I do try to remember to scroll down to that part of their profile to check, though it's always an afterthought.

"We're a high match! The plug in responses look good! I'll just send them some mail and then wonder why they never responded and ... oops, I'm a decade out of their dating preference. Um ..."

I'm trying to remember to put on my big-girl panties and scroll down a little more (how did I get so lazy?) but if future OKCupid changes make this adjustment possible for you, I'm rooting for it.
