Login & Customizing Profiles

You can access you account with userid and password. You can anytime change the profile information along with attached photo. However site does not give you any option to ensure your privacy is not compromised and keep you away from spammers. My preference section needs makeover to make user face from scammer. This is very neatly implemented in jumpdates.com.
