We Agree With You - Find a Hookup Is Out

We Agree With You - Find a Hookup Is Out


We got together today and reviewed your feedback. We unanimously agree that "Find a Hookup" was not a good idea and it's been thrown out the window.

So, what do we want it to be then? Search has issues because there are search boxes all over our site, it's not specific enough. We should take the opportunity to come up with something better.

Leave a comment with your suggestions - I'll put up a poll later this week and we can vote for the most popular one.

I'll admit I'm drawing a blank on ideas here, but some suggestions:

- Search Members
- Find Members
- Connect
- Date
- Fuck Dirty Right Now <kidding! kind of>

This is 'ONE' good news so far. Thanks.

I think Search Members is the best from what you suggested or Search/Browse Members.

I like :

1. Connect[or Connect With/B] (Because it leaves the kind of connection one might be looking for open.)

2.Looking for (because then the options complete that sentence)

3.Find members (Because that's pretty much what they are doing)

I never noticed the term "Search" all over the site and, in standard UI design for dating and introduction sites, that option is labeled "Search" or some variation thereof. If it were solely my choice for that spot I'd go with either "Search" or "Searching For" (but that's my $1.52.)

Great - thank you!

Connect sounds adequate.

Why not use a "Something for Everyone" approach? Categorize search to narrow down what a person has to weed out when they do one... I know that option somewhat exists now with the preferences thing, but it really doesn't work that well. Make it simple so more time is spent interacting instead of scanning meaningless (to some) profiles. Make it simpler to browse for what an individual is looking for. Some people want Hook-Ups, some people want instant sex, and some people just want to blog or whatever... Simplify the experience. That's been my biggest complaint all along. That filters out those who choose not to read a profile and respect what it says (ie: kelighdgh's post today). I choose to be here, I choose to pay for access... Make it a simpler experience.

YAY! Thanks for the great news Ryan!

I like Find Members or Connect.

Question--will the term "hookup" disappear throughout the site or just in the toolbar?

ok, I was just told I needed to clarify that further. Kirsten adds this scenario...
We're two girls, together... Bisexual, but mainly into girls... Meeting like minded people is fine, but we really don't want to meet at McDonald's and make out in a car... (that has actually happened) And we don't want to have dinner at someone's place and be
expected to have sex... Here's an example of how we would filter who actually could contact us:

Female Couple
Bi-Sexual
Age Preference 21-30
Friends First
No Single Guys (that's a big one)
No one night stands

That would eliminate a lot of un-necessary email and network invites... Add the option of accepting contact or requesting contact from someone outside of your filter, allowing an opportunity to view a profile but send no correspondence unless said offer is accepted or denying an offer you really have no preference for. All of that makes sence to me...

The perfect decision there with your team: shows positive feedback does work and those with “powers” do listen to critiques.

The search term in question should be probably kept simple as not to confuse people: logical simple choices could be Search/Find profiles or Search for members

Just steer clear of “search for cock/pussy to fuck” that just seems shall we say a tad “crude”

Thrilled!

"Connect" ... "Meet" ... anything generically unoffensive, is good with me.

Since one of the main complaints is that people don't read profiles before emailing and the definition of peruse is "to read through with thoroughness and care", my suggestion is "Peruse Profiles".

Thank you Ryan,

I am proud of you and the team for listening to the opinions of these valued and amazing members. I like search members..I mean that is what folks are doing right ? Now if only we could convince everyone to read a profile throughly so they do not end up sending a member an email they do not wish to receive.

Bravo Ryan,

I will agree, it should be directed at everyone, as we are all on here looking for different things, and I have to agree the advertiseing you had before it was advertising all female members are horny and they all want to get fucked, so you better join and to get layed tonight!!!
You can have any selection of these woman but you have to pay first!!! Well alot had that mentality is still there, alot they were looking at a free for all, I can have my selection of woman, You should have called it WHORES FOR US !!!!!! As that what we are treated like, And we are all on here for different reason, most of the woman are on here to find a great lover that they have a good conection with, not a cock to fuc!!!!! some may want to experiment, some jut want to chat!! so a.f.f. was a good name, but FIND YOUR PARTNER IN CRIME may be better!! as advertising , just another idea, i hope you get a few!!

Have a great horny day LUV

Great to hear that the People's voices have been heard!
The "hookup" phrasing seemed like a bad choice...

Something simple like Connect with Members, Find Members would work (all puns aside. )

ANOTHER SUGGESTION!!! You should have a SIGHT FOR SUGGESTIONS to what the advertising should be!!! easy to find!! you may get a good idea from someone!! as the other one did not work well at all!! men dissappointed as they thought if they paid, they would get layed, so no wonder most of us woman are getting treated like WHORES!!!

RE: BLING

10% of new registrants???? is that all???

as far as BLING ISSUES, what you see and what i see is quite different picture here...

among the people i know though this site, we are really thinking the new change, especially, the one that we won't be able to use the bling for our background, is the biggest downfall to Affairlook members who adores blings...

there are many bling artists, bling makers, who love what they do, and they really put their time and effort into custome blings...

not to mention, there are also many bling collectors on this white, who love and cherish blings...even sometime, it costs us points...

and most of all, the reason why i love Affairlook is that we can CUSTOMIZE our profile page to some degree with the bling, so we can show our personalities more...

other "hook-up" site only gives us the same ol' page to every one, and no uniqueness to them...

please re-consider about the future of bling use?

and tell me why the site wants to go away with the use of blings? what is so bad about them?

other suggestion to the alternate "find hook-ups"...perhaps, something like, "find sexy people in your COMMUNITY" or "CONNECT with other sexy members" would sounds appealing to me...

thank you,

    Quoting midatlantic42:
    How about Find a partner

    with sub searches that paying members could use... like...

    For erotic chat
    For other adult activities
    And Just to talk....
I am in agreement The sight should be seperated into sort of catagories, as we are all on here for different things, some are just wanting a one time encounter, some are bi-curious, some are married and looking for a little extra, some are on here just to watch vidoes, some are looking for a woman or a man for just a one time thing, some are looking for a compatable partner (that may have the same sexual desires as them)and some are here to make bling only, and some are on here to blog only, So seperate catagories would be good, so you do not have to do a massive search, if you are looking for something in particular. As lots of profile to go through, that cupids match is not very accurate, so people should be encourage not to use it.

Have a great horny day LUV

What's wrong with "Search"? Is that not what the function is? Why must they make everything so damn pornographic????? Do they really think we have zero brain cells and only raging hormones when we log onto this site?

That is insulting to us.

K.I.S.S. << it's a business term too.
Tell those fools to remember what it means.

Either "Search Members" or "Find Members" is fine.
"Connect" is not necessarily such a great term though.
Thank you for taking our concerns onboard ... much appreciated.
