Frequently asked questions
What if I don't want a directory profile?
Your profile in the networking directory creates your member account at the Atlasphere, so you must create a directory profile before you can create a dating profile.
However, to facilitate privacy within the dating service, members who create a dating profile have the option of suppressing their directory profile from within their dating profile. (This option is located at the bottom of the first page of the "Edit Dating Profile" section in the dating service.)
Suppressing your directory profile does not remove it altogether, but does prevent it from appearing in the various member listings and search results within the directory.
