Only if you aren't attuned to hearing swearing.

Prefers to be compared to a box-O'-rox.
Have a definite aversion to all things nails - especially when they are sticking out of mah foot after a nailgun incident.

AHA, THAT explains my "twilight zone" emails this morning.
Grrrr, nope, one came yesterday & li'l miss sexologist was 3 days ago.

There is ALWAYS a very tiny, remote, possibility of it being about a relationship.
Reasons vary, from "daddy" issues, to looking for easy street, to having been burned over & over by sex-crazed azzholers that used her & abused her by not even leaving a tip on the end table or locking the door after they snuck out before sunup, to she is actually mature enough & unsuperficial enough to not CARE if you aren't this year's Hollyweird hunky bod that makes other wimmins wet.

Yeaah, I know, but I've met a couple that didn't shiv-a-ratz-azz about looks and got their motor spewing fluids because the guy's personality was what tickled their start button - & both of them (1) early 20s & (1) mid 30s - were hot enough to fry eggs on.
He was a co-worker in his mid-50s and looked even older.
(Rumor had it he as hung like James Woods, so that MIGHT have been what it was about - or the fact he was pulling yungstuff might have engendered the rumors.)

I should be so lucky, luvduv.

50 year olds might be a bit far back in my rear-view mirror but if she can learn to drive the motorized shopping carts at the supermarket we could have a blast.

The obvious solution is to MOVE 1st, THEN try to find a relationship where you moved TO.

If you are so thick-headed you can't decide where to move to, perhaps that's an indicator you aren't going to have much success finding a relationship regardless of where you move to.

OR, that person is just looking for a sugarmama/daddy to support them regardless of location & is willing to move to wherever sugarmama/daddy lives.
I'd do it, even just for the novelty of being "a kept man" for a change.

Step into any low-dive bar and broadly declare;
"Texas should be a free State, remember the Alamo!" while tossing up a right-hand 45° salute.
(Lotta Neo-Nazi White Xtian Nationalists in TX.)

You'll instantly acquire either so many new friends willing to take the day off work & show you around you'll have to hand out numbers - or a lot of hats shaking the heads under them & muttering about "Dayum Yankees".

I take things I read quite literally, mo, & try not to read in anything built on unwarranted assumptions.

A weakness in conversation when so much of common culture is built upon just those sorts of context & baggage tacked on to the common phrases we use, I know.

I was just born that way & why my late wife had to spend a half-century of her life trying to "normalize" me.
Obviously she ran out of time before she could quite complete the job but we still have to give her a hard-earned "A" for her perseverance and tireless efforts.

Down to the last episode of "Fallout" Season 2 with Walton Goggins.
Not as good as Season 1 but still better than the standard network procedurals fluff.

None of this was happening before I showed up.
Maybe my profiles' predilections for the hoozkow has rubbed off on Community threads?

Because they are a horse's patootie?

Chippewa Falls has approximately 14,600+ people in the city limits and probably half again that many in the surrounding nearby area - excluding Eau Claire & other towns & cities nearby.

The M<->F ratio is slightly male-skewed (100.3 men to 100 women).
Ergo; there are likely some 10,000 or so wimmins in the immediate Chippewa Falls area.

Including Eau Claire (12 miles), that population figure shoots up another 70,000-80,000 or so & dumps another 35,000-40,000+/- into the fishing pool.

How many are seeking someone is up in the air & exactly indeterminable at any given moment.

Given my own knowledge of the area, the number found on a site like Mingle2 are probably significantly lower than more urban areas in the southern part of the state.
From what I've gathered from the many people I know in that area, on-line dating is not really a big thingy there.
The communities are small enough that people know a lot about who is "available", who isn't, & where to go if you are looking or want to be found - thus no need for an "app" to find them.

Using the search function here, set to a 50 mile radius around Chippewa Falls and ages 21-77 inclusive, only 34 candidates show up, almost all in their 30s or 40s, 2 in their 20s, & 1 over 50.

A similar search around La Crosse (pop.50k+)
turns up 89, with ages skewing more heavily toward wimmins in their 40s.
About what you'd expect for 2X the population & still in the "small town" bracket regarding knowing many of the people in your city.

Where what I'm saying shows up is if you search Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, a city of similar size to Chippewa Falls in the southern part of the state, using the same parameters - you get a return of 304 candidates with a much flatter spread out age distribution.
10 TIMES as many down south for the same population size - in part because of the nearness of Milwaukee and Madison commuters & a much denser population in-fill coupled with a different sort of "vibe" in how people approach dating.

Getting your Hoover wand dusted down here is FAR easier than "Up Nort" - even if yours is a Dirt Devil or Eureka model.

According to my youngest son (45) when he was up in Eau Claire a month ago his FaceBook dating app popped 20 looking for a hookup right away, so FaceBook might be an exception to what I've been saying & possibly only is so for hookups and not those seeking a longer-term relationship.

Biology.
It's hard wired for perpetuation of the species & no matter how smart or self-aware you are you cannot defeat Mother Nature.

Right, but once a paid subscriber can see their profile it's a simple matter to open that profile and send them a "Mail" message, establishing 2-way contact & thus getting you noticed and in touch with that profile which you CANNOT do by clicking on the encrypted blurred ones.
Free members cannot do that.

Ergo; as I stated previously, clicking a red "Like" heart button raises your chances of being noticed and getting contacted back by that profiled person IF they happen to be a paid member.

The number of scammers is another issue entirely.
But circling back to the O.P.'s question, my advised method is a viable alternative to recover someone's profile that you might have accidentally or consciously X-ed off your search return list.

Is it False that paid subscriber can see the photos and names of people who clicked their red "Like" heart button?
Because the sales pitch here is that if you become a paid member you can then view all the people who "Liked" you.
If this is not true, somebody is open to consumer protection lawsuits prohibiting false advertising.

Ergo, if anyone does click the paid subscriber's "Like" button, their profile is viewable and more likely to draw interest than one that is invisible/blurred/name-partially obscured in the way it is for free members.

(PS: some of the profiles listed as having "Liked" my profile CAN be seen using certain tricks I have employed.)

I have a folder with 62 images of them in it (& 589 I haven't treated to un-blur yet), profile photos that are as clear as my own is to me, allowing me to discover in regular search results some of the matches that have already "Liked" my profile.
It's time consuming & consumes heavy resources on my PC so I stopped bothering after 62, but potentially I COULD reveal the other 589 with enough time & effort.

The thought HAS crossed my mind that the owners/operators of this site are behind the massive invasion of scam profiles.

That running a stable of thousands of scammer accounts generates a LOT of money from sukkers willing to get better access to those hot men/women depicted in fake profiles in ADDITION to being the end recipients of any gift cards, money orders, or bank transfers, that are generated by the scam accounts which they create and control.

It also gives the appearance that the site has much larger membership numbers & increases the potential value of it should an offer to purchase come up or ad revenues start to become a part of the earnings potential of the much inflated user numbers.

Logically & logistically, if you have no scruples - & the whole world seems reduced to that these days - it wouldn't be a bad business model, until you get caught at it.

Even then, corporations & the people running them RARELY answer for their crimes and almost NEVER go to jail over them, leaving them free to just start up a new grift.

Sort of.
I've gone through probably 1,000 profiles at a minimum over the past 90 days.
I'm actually putting in a LOT of effort to try and find a 2nd & last "my person" of my life.

I've found a few dozen women that physically attract me. (kinda picky even though I have no right to be so, based on my own looks.)

In that group I've found only a handful I enjoyed extended conversations with - in spite of having had at least some exchanges in mail with more than a couple hundred - too many of which are simply incompatible due to large age differences &/or distance issues.

Of that much smaller group there are less than the fingers on 1 hand that I consider possible compatibly matches based on;

• physical attraction (based on my predilections)

• sufficient intelligence & coherency to string together a conversation beyond;
"Send me your cell number so we can know each other more better on [insert name of scammer app]"

• a sense, a "presence", that emanates from both their profile photo(s) & their conversation that interests something indescribable yet palpable within me that drives me to wish for more interaction & a possible future - MORE than just some 1-off wham-bam-thank you ma'am hit&run - and dreaming about the possibility of that person becoming my reason for living.

Alas, I have yet to resolve the issue of whether ANY of them are real, if they are who they claim to be, or if they are just much better practiced in the arts of hooking & scamming lonely old coots like me.

Most of the scammers are amateurs & disappear as fast as they arrive - just like you did.

Lesson:
When the OldCoot is involved DO NOT open doors unless you are prepared for whatever might be on the other side.

Hence the high-alert RED text.

Trust me, after that 2-hour conversation I read back to you, I KNOW there are people on here clueless enough to actually follow through with that.

Yes & no.
If the profile is a paid subscriber then the red "Like" button makes your odds go WAY up that they are real & not some fake scammer profile - thus increasing the likelihood they will notice you and respond, if interested at all.
