  • Completely block unselected genders from private messaging me. Anyone outside the genders you picked can still talk in the open room, but they can't open a private chat with you at all.
  • Moderate contact from unselected genders. Private messages from genders you didn't pick go to a separate request list instead of popping up. You can accept or ignore them in your own time.
  • Block unselected genders who are guests (no account). Only applies to guests outside your chosen genders. Registered members can still reach you; throwaway guest names can't.

You Choose Who Gets Through

Decide which kinds of people can send you a direct message. You might want to hear only from others in your age group, or from everybody. Those left out can still join any public conversation with you, but a private chat isn't open to them.

Most regulars here prefer a selective inbox. Your choice also carries into our chat rooms online.

Scammers know this age group often has savings. Treat any money request, however heartfelt, as a reason to block and report. Those buttons are the same in every free chat room.
