The 'wink' with which we can show interest, is actually hopeless, as unless people are gold members, they cannot do anything, beyond simply wink back every month.
This is not really a good way to start or develop a friendship.
Maybe we can make suggestions to Admin to work out something better so people will return and use the site.
Today I felt lonely, and came back here for a look. I found that I got totally frustrated, simply responding to 'winks' that I, or the other person cannot do anyt  more...

Today I felt lonely, and came back here for a look. I found that I got totally frustrated, simply responding to 'winks' that I, or the other person cannot do anything about. Most of my 'winks' came from accounts not there anymore, or members like me, who are not gold members.
Maybe User Names can represent individuals somehow. Maybe SeniorMatch can make user names email addresses within the site like other sites do.
Maybe membership for men, and free membership for women, will make more people active.
Maybe gold members can have people they wink or write to, reply free.
Maybe we should all make suggestions so this site won't die, like it seems to be doing right now.
I have far too many online subscriptions to start a social one..but at the same time, I would like to be active on Seniormatch and write to some friends here...which I cannot do at present, beyond sending useless 'winks'
Please Admin....do something or you will lose the few members you have left. From what I see today, the site is dying...and you can only revive it by giving people something to return for.
Winks are useless as a communication tool, as you cannot follow a wink, and you have to know someone before you can communicate with them properly...The site needs balls for play to happen or resume.
The game looks lost... less...

Dear Ladymaggic,

Thank you very much for your comments and suggestions.
"Maybe gold members can have people they wink or write to, reply free." In fact, all guest members can reply to gold members' messages and winks for free. You can check out Help page for details.

We are improving our services to encourage more members to come back.

Best wishes,
Support
