Lavender Womyn Personals - Lesbian Dating Personals

Getting the Most from a Basic Membership

Many of our members at Lavender Womyn Personals have been with us for a long time and have enjoyed their experience without feeling the need to upgrade to Premium membership. The main incentive for upgrading to Premium membership, of course, is being able to INITIATE e-mail and chat contact with another member whenever you like. But if you’d rather remain a basic member, here’s a few (absolutely FREE) things you can do that will help you maximize your experience on our site:

 

Receive & Read E-mails

Unlike other sites, we allow you to read every e-mail you receive. You don’t have to pay or upgrade to receive and read your e-mails.


Reply to E-mails

Not only can you read the e-mails you receive, but you can REPLY to them as well, without ever having to upgrade to Premium membership. If you receive e-mails from Premium members, you can reply back and forth as long as you’d like.


Accept Chat and Chat Plus (Virtual Dating) Invites

As a basic member, you can receive invitations to our Chat and Chat Plus (Virtual Dating) feature, accept those invitations, and chat till your heart’s content. If you'd like the ability to invite other members to Chat, you'll need a Premium upgrade, just like initiating e-mail contact.

Send and Receive Smiles

Smiles are a way for everyone on our site, basic or Premium, to flirt with another member. When a member sends you a Smile, they are expressing an interest in getting to know you, and are putting the ball in your court. This enables you and other members to break the ice without needing to upgrade to Premium membership.

If a member sends you a Smile and you’d like to send one back, open the Smile and click the “Smile Back” button.

If you would like to send an e-mail message to the other member you may, but as always, you must be a Premium member to INITIATE an email conversation.

REMEMBER: If you put some time and effort into your profile, upload nice, clear photos of yourself, and send out lots of Smiles to members who catch your eye, you WILL get noticed!

Have fun!

Let's Talk About Credits

As you’re probably aware, Credits are a form of currency on the TangoWire network. What you might not know is the various things you can do with the credits you purchase.

For instance, you can purchase Virtual Gifts to send to other members, the “Featured Member” option that places a highly visible mini-profile at the top of search results, and SmartTexts that send you text alerts when you receive email on the site.

Basic members can use Credits to initiate email contact with other members, and turn off advertising on their profiles permanently.

Credits are available in packs of:

250 = $19.99 (.08 each)*

75 = $9.99 (.13 each)

20 = $3.99 (.20 each)

…and you can purchase them on the My Account tab after you log in.

We’re always looking for fun and engaging ways to use Credits, so we hope that you’ll share your ideas for what you’d like to see.

Get Noticed!

Occasionally, we get emails from members who are discouraged at the lack of replies they receive. For example:

“I upgraded to Premium membership, and nobody’s replying to my emails or Smiles. And nobody looks at my profile!”

When I receive an email like this, my first step is go out to the site and view the member’s profile. More often than not, the member has only logged in a few times, sent out a couple of emails, and maybe a few Smiles. They’ve usually written very little (if anything) in the “More about me…” section of their profile, and, at best, uploaded one or two blurry photos.

This tells me two things: The person isn’t very outgoing, and completely misses the point of online dating. Being shy or reserved isn’t a character flaw. That might just be who you are as a person. But if you want results, you’re going to have to step outside of your comfort zone a little and flirt!

“But that’s not my style!” you say. Fair enough, but you already took the leap and entered the online dating scene. That was a big step in and of itself. Being a wallflower simply isn’t going to work. Get energized and get active!

Upload Photos!
A good, clear photo of yourself works wonders. While some of you might not want your photos posted online for personal reasons, the fact is that the vast majority of other members want to see who you are. Members with photos are given priority in search results, too.

Log in often!
Logging into the site automatically moves your profile to the top of the search results. So logging in often and having at least one photo on your profile increases your chances of being seen a great deal.

Send lots of emails and Smiles!
Here’s where we get to the heart of the matter. You have to put some effort into meeting people if you want results. I’m looking at you, Premium members! You upgraded to Premium membership so you could make first contact with other members. Take advantage of it! Invite people to chat. Send them emails introducing yourself. Go on vDates. Have fun! And basic members: continue to log in often and send lots of Smiles. You can reply to emails for free, so being active on the site is sure to get you noticed, and garner you more emails and more chat / vDate requests.

Don’t rely on someone else to take the first step. Be proactive and put yourself out there.
