I think we could use a few new search options...

* Premium vs/ Free
* Country (needs to me a menu, not a type box due to everyone spelling things differently - USA, US, Unites States, America, etc...)
* Language(s)
* Looking For (maybe a menu, but not sure...)

Also, Profile Customization...
* Bio (Telling about yourself, or your character)
* Time in Game (Years/Months/Days)
* In the mood for: (Menu?)
* Ability to choose more Character Types (Talkative & Romantic, or Passionate & Sex Maniac, etc.)

Any more ideas?

I dunno, they already sort it with Premium first and free after... thinning it out further seems to lessen ones odds. I get what you are saying, but filtering people out more doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

If you make a menu for the country you have to know people can choose between different languages soon.

The only thing I find helpful is the language including the possibility to write down the languages you are speaking.

A lot of the options Trekmanalpha posted are valid in my eyes. I wouldn't choose all, but some of them are (very) useful. As far as expanding options to search, it's up to everyone themselves to decide how wide or narrow they make their search. If you are loooking for a (very) specific partner, more search options could be a big plus.
I very much agree that the country you come from, should be in a list instead of free to however someone wants to spell it. But i think on the other hand, that a lot of people won't use the option, since it is now used often to add extra info to the profile, country of origin or city being of lesser importance. I would really like more room to write down something in my banner, instead of the restricted amount of characters they offer now. Choosing a smaller font-size, would create room and should be easy to implement.

We talked this some time before (I looked but didn't find it).

I think it's useful to have a placeholder-function for the search. If you are searching for a special character you have to type it complete and correct. If we have the placeholder (e.g. "*...") you just have to know a part of the name.

True if you are not friends it is a pain at times to try to find a name to send a message to.

Language spoken would be helpful, I am with Tight on this a larger banner space would be appreciated.

With it being the internet people often do spell their names in non-standard ways. So a search that would pick up on partials like Lover and Bear said is a really good idea.

It's also why if the search functions were expanded it would be better to make as many as possible (like country) a checkable choice, because with the US alone there is the US, USA, United States, America, United States of America, and probably a few other variations I just didn't think of.

So I will still say I don't know how needed they are, but if they are those would be some things to keep in mind while changing them.

I agree on the country being a menu list in both profile and search, a larger description/banner field, and a list of languages spoken (since it is now being offered in different languages for download).

However, I personally think that since the search is Premium , Robot, Free (in order), that the Prem vs Free isn't as necessary....and on top of that we are allowed to intermingle (Prem can play with free). I honestly don't see the advantage in Prem only wanting Prem because only 1 of you really needs to buy the pose(s).....I bought almost all MF poses (didn't buy the reverse mouth fuck) mainly FOR free users. However in the case of men, Prem is required for group so I can see that point as a group search (which leads me to a suggestion I made a long time ago about the invite showing BOTH people instead of just one)

I think one reason for prem asking for prem is that some prem just have some clothes. I don't know about men but I read this very often written from girls "Just room with premium members".
In my opinion they are premium because they have been gifted. Now they are prem but don't have the poses. The prem men usually have the poses.

I am with Lover on this one. I see the phrase pass by often as well. And most girls have been prem because of gifts, making myself gulty of doing it too on a very rare occasion. And whould girls spend their own money if they can get it from us ;) Although I value a woman who can takje care of herself a lot better than girls asking for gifts because they are going dutch ( :D)
Men have the poses, so girls don't have to be premium to enjoy them. And at the end, the clothes go off anyway. They catch us at our own territory. For girls they created shopping, offering a mass of clothes for them and much less for guys. Guys (most of them) are here for the sex and need to have a visual stimulation (porn is watched far more by guys as girls, correct me if I am wrong). So they created poses and the need for men to be prem to be in a 3some. Just playing on our primal instincts...

The main reason I wanted to start this, is because the Country Menu, and the search options, well I want them. I like playing with mainly premium players, not just because of the poses or the outfits, but honestly, seeing a gal spraying cum all over, that really gets me off. Free users cant do that.

It's also just something I wanted to see, along with the expanded status line... and a Biography of the player along with time spent ingame would be useful... the bio to explain a bit about your character, what you need in a partner, and/or backstory for rollplay.

The other stuff... well, just ideas.

You are right. They caught me with these great arguments :D

I see your mind Trekman. If there would be more room for individual statements you can more personalize your character. Time spent in game is not very unique. Here are some people just a few weeks but online every day. On the other hand I talked to people being a member since one year. But have not been here for 10 months.

But as you all said, a bigger banner I support.
