MelindasPenpals.com Main Site Features

MelindasPenpals.com Original Site Features

If you are a visitor this is to provide you with a break down of our main site features. I think you will be satisfied that very few (if any) free or paid Filipina dating sites offer you so much.

1) Media - Upload your favorite pictures into albums you create. Upload your favorite MP3 music. Also, feel free to upload your personal video and we support a number of file extensions.

2) Applications - Make your own Blogs and tell others what is on your mind. You can also send and receive gifts. Maintain your own guestbook and sign other guest books. Another great way to network. Announce and schedule events using our calendar.

3) Network - Add and maintain a network of friends. You can make friend request with any member, and you can decide whether to accept friend requests from other members. You can also see a list of your profile visitors, and if interested say hello to them. Add others to your favorites so you can easily track people you are interested in. Block other members you find annoying or just have no interest in. This will stop them from contacting you.

4) Privacy Settings - Very important features. Members control who can access their profile, pictures, and website content. It is totally up to you. If you want to password protect your pictures feel free to do so. If you only want friends to access certain content set it for friends only. Just remember the more restrictive you are the less people will get to see your content which could mean less responses from other members.

5) Winks and Gifts - Send winks and gifts to members as a way to break the ice and say hello.

6) Picture Rating - Rate pictures you see in the gallery section or use the Hot or Not page to view random images and rate them. Remember, try to be kind in your ratings because we are all human and have feelings. I takes a "quality person" to move past images they are not interested in v/s being negative or mean.

7) Chat - The chat system we have is a lot like Facebook style chat. See your friends come online and send them a chat request. You can also change your status to available or not. Don't forget your latest chat sessions are logged for a while so you can refer to them. Due to website resource limitations chat is not always available to men nondonors.

8) Member Status Updates - Feel free to enter status updates in your profile. Let others know what you are doing or what is on your mind.

9) Search Function - The search function is very powerful. Use the basic search for members by user name, specific age, city, and country. Just remember most ladies are from the Philippines. Also use the advanced search for more detailed searches. Our search is designed so that the latest active members on the site always come up first in the results.

10) Filipina Lady City Links - On the search page you will see a number of city links you can click. We are building direct one click search results for Filipina ladies by city. Once we have 6 or more ladies from any one city we add that city to the list. Very useful for those interested in finding Filipina ladies in a certain city. We plan to add links for men by country soon.
