What is not acceptable in a greeting?
We want everyone to have an enjoyable experience using our system. We will not tolerate any discrimination based on age, gender or race and we will not allow any references to illegal substances.

What should I say in my greeting?
Your greeting is your first impression and should be as individual as you are. We get thousands of calls a day, so even a little extra effort can make you stand out on line. Write it down and practice a few times before you record. A little preparation can help you sound more confident about who you are and what you want. Remember you can always re-record your greeting by pressing '6' from the menu played after each greeting. Example of a Male Greeting: Hi, I'm Jim in my early 30s, pretty young at heart but mature when I need to be. I'm active, in pretty good shape, and I have a lot of interests. I'm easy going, fun and looking for someone to talk to and to see if there's any chemistry. Example of a Female Greeting: Hey this is Jen, I'm in my late 20s looking for a guy who'd like to talk. Maybe see what happens. I'd like to meet a guy who knows where his life is going but knows when to loosen up and have fun. So if you're happy with your life and there's definitely space in it for someone special get back to me.
