How important is it to include a photo?

It can be very important. We all like viewing ads with photos. In fact, ads with photos get approximately 7 times more responses than ads without photos. This makes sense because you feel more connected with someone when you can see her or his picture (there's a real person behind that ad). You can also get more of a sense of the person's personality through his or her photo.

Also, many people just browse ads with photos and never look at the ads without photos. So, you don't need a photo to be a member, but it is highly recommended that you include one.

Lovephat provides an anonymous email system for contacting other members. When you are viewing a member that you want to contact, you simply click on the "Email Member" button. This will bring up a message box where you can type in your message. For your convenience, the profile of the member you are contacting is displayed right below the message box. When you submit your message, the member is notified that there is new mail waiting for him or her.
Note: Your email address is never revealed to other members.

Blocking Email from a Member

If you do not wish contact from a particular member, you can put that person on your "Block List." This person will no longer be able to send you messages unless you remove the block from that person. You do this by clicking on the "Block E-Mail" button when viewing his/her ad. You can click on "Remove Block" later to remove the block.
