Thoughts on the new Seeking feature?

lambsone • Apr 25, 2024

I'm not sure that it does much good because you can only view a limited amount of profiles before they disappear when more are added as "the newest" ones. You are then directed to the Find Friends section anyway. So why not just go there in the first place? And if you aren't watching the seekers multiple times during the day, you will probably miss some potential compatible future mates because they disappear from view.

Also I don't think there is a way to search Seekers for the type/gender, etc that you are looking for. You have to scroll through everyone which may be why the list is short. Just a taste of who is seeking.

At the end of the day, it seems like just another duplicate category that takes up a person's time to search through. Sorry to be the poo pooer here. I don't think it's that helpful, so I don't think I'll be using it very much.

I like that in the search section, you can choose to search for people who are actively seeking… versus the people that search for “submissive women in XYZ” and then I get messages from randoms Who don’t bother to read my profile where I say I am NOT looking.

I think it’s great. I think this was a very smart solution, big kudos for The Cage staff for this feature (former PM, so intend to think of things from a software dev perspective. Seriously, great fucking solution).

Preferred the personals to this but not a big deal

I feel much as you do chattel I prefer the personals better to me there were more people who were seeking connections and could be more pacific about what they were looking for.

I understand the reason for discontinuing the personals, the legal issues can get expensive. Sad!
Two things in my opinion would make things better,
1 - categorize males from females
2 - rather than show the date that the person joined, show when they were last logged on .

My two cents

Your doing a great job, keep it up

I just wanted to step in here and point out that in addition to the new Seeking list (which shows those who have most recently indicated they are seeking), we've added 'Seeking' as a new filter in 'Find Friends'. So if you want to look for people who are 'Seeking' and also by other parameters (location, gender, D/s orientation, etc.), you can do it there. You can also sort your results by "newest', 'nearest', and 'recently visited'.

So although the Seeking list isn't categorized like the Personals (doms looking for subs, etc.), you can now filter your search in a way you never could in Personals. Just make sure to check the 'Seeking' box in 'Find Friends' if you are looking for others who are seeking.

Thank you for all the feedback - we always appreciate it!
