What is a tease? How many times can I tease someone?

A tease is a quick, fun way to let someone know you're interested. You pick a one-liner from our list of teases, and it's sent to the member of your choice. The member gets the tease in his or her onsite email Inbox and then can go to your profile and tease you back. You can send up to 30 teases a day, but each member can only be teased once.

All members can send teases for free. If you'd like to take it a step further, we suggest upgrading to a Premium Membership and sending an email to start up a real conversation.

How do I change my email address or password?

You can change your email address or password on the "edit your attributes" page.

There are two ways to get there:

  • Click your "profile" link in the top menu, go to the section for your basic information and click "edit"
  • Click the first "profile completion" box on the top left of the screen

After you've made your changes, click "continue" at the bottom of the page to save.

How do I keep other members from knowing that I looked at their profile or hot listed them?

If you don't want other members to know when you've looked at their profile or hot listed them, go to Profile Display Settings in Member Services and select "hide" in the section called "Show/Hide When I View Or Hot List Members."

Keep in mind that members who are most active on the site keep their profile visible in all places because it ups their chances of connecting with people. You never know, someone special may be looking for you but never find you if your profile is hidden.

Hot Lists have been a real hit on our sites and have helped bring some unsuspecting couples together! People keep telling us that they contact people simply because they saw in the hot list that a member looked at their profile. So before you hit "hide," give it a chance to work.

Why would members want other members to know when they look at their profile or hot list them?

Members who are really active on the site like to let other members know when they look at their profile or hot list them because it livens things up and often breaks the ice when it comes to emailing.

So many times we hear that one member contacted someone simply because they saw that that person had looked at their profile or hot listed them. Members also say that their hot lists lead them to meet members that they might not have seen in a search otherwise.

Think about it. If you saw that someone had hot listed you and you liked what you saw, wouldn't you be more likely to send an email?

Why does my hot list counter change?

Half of your hot lists tell you your activity on the site. Every time you look at or contact another member, it shows up in your hot lists and the numbers go up accordingly.

The other half of your hot lists tell you about other members looking at your profile or emailing or teasing you. Every time someone looks at your profile or contacts you, it shows up in your hot lists and the numbers go up accordingly. Keep in mind, however, that some members choose to hide their profile from showing up in your hot lists.

Also, in order to keep your lists up-to-date, we periodically clean out the members that have been in your "viewed" list for a while. This also changes the counter.

Do people actually meet on your site? Do they ever get married?

Thousands of people meet on our site daily and go on to date and start relationships. We've also had hundreds of marriages across many borders. To see for yourself, check the site for real stories of real connections.

When someone contacts me, where does the message go and how do I respond?

Once you have created your own profile, other members can start contacting you. We'll let you know you have messages waiting for you by sending a notice to your personal email address. If you are already a 100hookup Premium Member, then log in and pick up the messages at your personal onsite Inbox. The 100hookup message Inbox is available exclusively to Premium Members. Once you are a Premium Member, you can read all incoming messages, respond to the members who contacted you, and initiate contact with whomever you like. With your personal onsite email, you'll always remain anonymous and in control.

How do I edit my profile? How do I hide my profile?

To update your profile, go to profile at the top of the page or click on the profile completion boxes in the top left of your homepage. Click edit next to the section you'd like to update. Be sure to save your changes at the bottom of the screen when you're done.

Try to put your best foot forward with at least one photo and snappy, detailed essays. The photo is key since most people feel more comfortable writing to members they can see. Try to stay positive in your essays and let the real you shine.

To hide your profile, go to Profile Display Settings in Member Services. Keep in mind, however, that members who are most active on the site keep their profile visible in all places because it ups their chances of connecting with people. And you never know, someone special may be looking for you and never get to find you if your profile is hidden.
