Getting 5star rated by people with nothing in common?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm talking about people with under 50% match and over 40% enemy. What is this about? Should I take these as compliments? Or are these women trolls?

I can't speak for others, but recently I have 5 stared people when I was just really impressed with their profile even when they were clearly not compatible with me. It's kind of a sign of appreciation, and sometimes it's just about the looks from what I gather.

The star rating is not for how compatible the person is with you or how good the profile is for dating you - this is what the questions/tests/ and percentages are for

The stars are just an objective "how good/complete" is this profile

I give one for people who give no prose info or answer less than 20 questions, you can't have any idea about meeting someone by that.

I have answered 4000 questions and about 70 tests yet the rating will give me a match percentage for a person with only 20 questions - I won't even contact someone who has bothered so little - I figure they have too many secrets and I don't want to risk it.

5 stars is reserved for someone I think has done really well at building one - even if we are completely incompatible

I think it happens when someone is attracted to your pics and/or written profile and either hasn't looked at the match percentage or doesn't care. I get it pretty often in quickmatch, to the point where I can often spot who's picked me by which profile sticks out as a terrible match that the site would never have suggested to me. If the person is attractive and nearby, I'll dig into their questions and look for the source of the low match numbers, sometimes they've just answered a few questions that aren't actually that important to me and so might be worth pursuing.

I am sure it's just used as Hot/Not Hot thing for most users there.

Agree with the hot/not hot function. The vast majority of the men who "like" me have obviously not read my profile.

I got 5stars by people who didn't appear on my visitors list. Go figure.

GivePeaceAChance: But if you rate someone 4 or 5 stars, and they rate you the same, you get a message telling you "It's a match!" and that you should contact them. Sounds like a matching feature to me.

Boo: Those people who didn't appear on your visitor list were probably browsing anonymously.

I base my stars on how much I like them and would want to date them. I base this off of what I read in their profile and then pictures. I have such mixed results with okc match %. Ive seen women that from their profile I'd love yet okc says they enemy. It confuses me, how someone I have so much in common with is so low on the match %. Take into account I started filling out the questions 6 years ago. I imagine others have too as 3k questions takes awhile. so people change. I see questions that i answered that I disagree with myself on, when they come up i fix them. My point is I think it's wiser to base it on what they wrote on their profile rather then the questions. I kinda prefer pof because of this and women there are less stuck up.

I just thought it was "I find you interesting and attractive". I don't bother rating people unless their profile really impressed me.

If you look hot or in the mind of the viewer have a cool profile they might 5 star you but tbh it doesn't really have much to do with compatibility at all. I wouldn't read into 5 stars too much. Focus more on people who take the time to respond to you.
