1. Is membership always free? Yes, always free!

2. How do I contact the staff? Click here for contact information.

3. (For the Gentlemen) Do I need to complete a profile at OCBachelors.com if I just want to look? Yes, you do. This will grant you the privilege of viewing the profiles at OCBachelorettes.com. Your profile code will be on your outgoing e-mail and will also keep your e-mail account private.

4. Is a photo really necessary for my profile? As they say, "It's worth a thousand words!" Our studies have shown that profiles with photos receive more than five times the response as non-photo profiles. We strongly recommend taking your time and uploading a quality photo of yourself. It should be one that you are proud to show. Shirts (tops) without a detailed pattern look the best. Use a picture that really shows your face well. Often times, people use a photo that was taken too far away. Since your photo can be up to 3 inches wide, you have a couple of options (if you know how to use Adobe Photoshop). You may always just use a simple "head shot." Or, you could make a split-photo that has the top half of the picture a "head shot" and the bottom picture could be one of the following: full-body, waist up, sports picture, action shot, etc. This could also be split left and right.

5. Do you have any suggestions for better results? Make sure you tell your potential mate about what you are looking for in a person, rather than just more about yourself. It is important for the person to learn about you, but they need to know if they fit your idea of a perfect mate.

6. Can I change my profile or photo after I submit it for the first time? Yes.

7. How large of a photo can be uploaded?
Your photo can be up to 3 inches wide.

8. Why do I need a "user name" on my profile? This is the name you will go by at our site. This is to protect your identity. It also helps us with database management. A User Name IS REQUIRED!

9. How does the search function work?
A)Click on "member log in"
B) Enter your "user name"
C) Enter your password
D) Click "OK"
E) Choose to "view a random member" or "do a search"
F) When you click on "search," you will be given choices to focus your search.
G) Leaving the dropdown menus at "No preference" will greatly broaden your choices.
H) Click on "Find" at the bottom of the form.
I) You will then see the list of members who fit your search requirements. Those with a camera icon next to their user name have included a photo with their profile.
J) Click on your choice and a new window will open with that person's profile. If you want to narrow your search, or redefine your preferences, click the "RETURN" button until you get to the page where you make your selections. Make further preferences or alter a search category such as "age".
K) Leave a message on the member's page of your choice.

9. How do I know when someone wants to contact me? A potential match will type a message at the bottom of your profile and send it to you via e-mail. The message will have a link that goes directly to their profile. When you use that link to send a return message, they will receive that message via their e-mail. You communicate back and forth in this manner.

10. Do I need to type in my e-mail address in the "office use" section of my profile?
YES! It will not be seen by anyone except our staff. If your e-mail is not valid, your profile will not work! Your password will be sent to your e-mail address.

Attention AOL users: Your AOL screen name will not work as your e-mail address. All e-mail addresses must have an "@" sign.
