Do you ever change your profile postcode?

You should try it. It puts you in different search areas and there's some brilliant people out there.

Do you ever change your profile in other ways to see what changes attract different people? New pics, showing different types/ quantity of verifications? Or do you stick with the same thing?

I sometimes change mine to my old address just to see who is around that I remember.

Apart from uploading pics I don't really change my profile much, I hid my verifications months ago after being questioned over previous meets. I do sometimes show a new for a while if it's funny or sweet.

Yep. Happy with the current rewrite. It seems to scare off the timid and the time-wasters.

Oh crikey yeah that will be time consuming. It will get you views from people looking at new pics though.

Yes occasionally but not often depending upon where I have a meet. Currently it's set for where my meet is this week instead of where I actually live

We used to do that too. Easier than trying to explain different locations. The locals don't always like people 'just visiting'.

I change mine to a Glasgow postcode sometimes rather than Edinburgh, just to see the local updates there. And if I'm travelling I minlght change it for a nosey.

In some areas, a slightly different postcode can put you in a whole new search area. If you use the postcode of a place just 5 miles away, your searches will show up a whole new set of people. And new people will view you.

Still within your 'local' area. Experiment with different postcodes north/ east/ west/ south of where you live. It can be interesting.

A world all of his own

I've never thought to do it tbh. My last place was only 5 miles down the road, and the one before that was about 10 miles from there so not much would change I imagine.

Not my area.

I do Google maps. Pick somewhere I'd be happy to travel to, then use that postcode.

My post code is set to 120 miles away, somewhere I spend a few weeks of the year, because I'd rather not have people in my small community knowing. I only meet new people in clubs/organised socials now anyway.

Photos,veris and bio get changed around a bit depending on how I'm using the site.

I change my postcode depending on where I am. It helps avoid any confusion.

I do tinker with my pictures too, which reminds me that that I really need some new ones.

There and to the left a bit

Nope never changed my postcode and, unless I moved, probably won't either - the current one I have set (which *is* my home one) works perfectly well for how I approach the site.

Don't think, odd tweak aside, I have changed my profile text since I first wrote it either - again it works for me so if it ain't broke...

The only changes I do make are to upload pics and swap some of them to private/friends only on occasion.

It's a good tip to use a different postcode. Avoids issues.
