Change my wants....Page 1 of 1    
It seems I must of choose I was looking for intimate encounters so cant message people who do not want that. Is there anyway to change that as I just want a nice female to spend my time with, thanks.

Your profile says 'looking for a relationship' now. Did you change it back from Intimate Encounter?

Or have you sent initial messages to 4 or more women who are seeking Intimate Encounters? If so you will now be blocked from messaging women who have the IE filter in place. This can not be changed.

Here's what you are failing to understand - You might think she's the perfect girl for you but she has clearly identified that she doesn't want someone who has messaged those seeking IE's. It's the same as her saying she doesn't want to date a smoker or someone older then 50. That's her choice and her right to decide. So, although you view her as your match, she doesn't view you as hers. Move on. There is no way to change it without being deceptive and that will bite you in the butt down the line.

This filter doesn't kick in by error.

Look back at your contact history as it will give you an indication - although not foolproof. If you have contacted someone looking for IE's you might be able to determine that from your history but bear in mind that those who have since changed their intent, how have deleted their profiles, who have been deleted by POF etc., will not show the information you are looking for.

The IE profiles don't show up in regular searches - you have to specifically set your profile to be seeking them OR change your search options. It defies logic that this can be done accidentally.

You've only had this profile for a little over a week. Seems you would remember if you'd been changing your settings from IE to Looking for a relationship, and also likely you'd remember if you'd initiated contact with IE seekers.

I don't want to accuse you of lying but your story doesn't hold up.

In any case, you've only had the profile a week so you can't be too attached to it. Delete this profile and set up a new one. Be more careful with your new profile and think about what it is that you really want and only message women who meet that criteria.

Hi Deb, I used the search feature and it came up with a number of people that fitted in with the search, and to which I replied, it was only later that by including "Anything" in the relationship area of the search that IEs were included, and that I had replied to them, so to state that IE profiles do not show up in regular searches is not correct. I'm now trapped in the same situation, and cannot message some of the people that appeal to me.
I understand POF having the filter, and why it cannot be changed, but it does not help. I assume that now I will have to delete and start a new profile.

^^ That's a lie. The filter only trips if YOU make FIRST contact, not by replying to messages.

No one likes a fibber.
