Creation of a Profile
In order to gain access to the website's functionality, it is important to fully complete your dating profile. The first of the boxes on this questionnaire asks some basic profile questions, such as your gender, your country, your marital status, your education, the type of work you do, your ethnicity (white, black, Hispanic, Indian, Asian or Native American.)
You are then asked if you have children, your field of study, and finally your annual income, with options ranging from less than $15,000 to over $150,000.
You are invited to describe your physical appearance, from height and physical shape to hair color and eye color. The options for physicality seem rather generic, as you are only given four options - great, good, average and poor - none of which are overly descriptive.
Finally, you are invited to specify your own preferences in terms of the type of Christian single you are hoping to connect with. Are you eager to establish a relationship, or simply to meet a friend, penpal, fellowship … or nothing? The latter option is surely rather odd for a website ostensibly about establishing relationships.
The most important question to be asked at this stage appears to be about whether newcomers smoke or drink. Other pertinent questions include how often you go to church, what is your particular interest circle, your favorite movies, your favorite music, what is your religious affiliation, and what is your favorite pastime - based on an extensive drop-down list which, rather confusingly, is arranged randomly rather than alphabetically. Last of all, you get to outline your favorite food, from a choice of around 15 headings.
After answering these broad points, you're requested to add a bit about yourself as a brief statement to use as a first introduction to a prospective partner. (At this point it is emphasized you should not use personal contact information, such as your email or phone numbers or addresses.) There is a second box where you can elaborate on your initial statement by saying something special about yourself. Once this is done, your profile is complete and you can continue on with the website.
