These search parameters of preferences, for the purpose of a search to find people is confusing to me. All those columns of preferences, is vague.. Are they for me?, for them? a combination of both? I have changed profile preferences, and expanded the search. Nearest compatible person is over 3,000 miles away, I am thinking, that this is a waste of time. I want to find people near me, and not require a plane ticket to meet them.
