What you say about yourself speaks volumes. First of all, don't panic! It's a profile, not a life story. And it is meant to reflect something about you, so unless you are a prize winning author, people won't be expecting a literary masterpiece. Keep it light and friendly, and avoid adding anything negative. Never include your last name, email address, home address, phone number, place of work or any other identifying information in your member profile.
Everyone wants to meet an honest person. It is extremely important that you portray yourself in an honest light from the very outset - starting with your profile. While discretion is recommended, lying is not, so be honest when you post your profile and photos. The 'real' people, the ones you want to meet, don't expect perfection. In fact, if someone seems too good to be true, they probably are. So be honest, be yourself and start off on the right foot. What might begin as an online flirtation could turn into the real thing unless you've built yourself an image you can't live up to.
The more people know about you, the more comfortable they will feel in contacting you, or initiating conversation with you. So if you want to get a greater response to your profile, and begin meeting more people today then make sure you write a detailed profile.
Need help to get you going? Here are some questions to help you construct that perfect profile. Remember: be sincere and honest. Write like you talk. Show your personality.
A good profile is one that paints a good picture of someone's personality, provides insight to what they do/their interests and clearly sets out what kind of a relationship they're looking for - so they don't waste the time of unsuitable people contacting them. Finally, there's enough in the profile below to find something to strike up a conversation!
Once you get past the accent that's one part Aussie, one part Canadian, a pinch of German and mixed well with more than 50 other countries, you'll probably work out that I am a study of, what I think, intriguing contrasts. My days of incessant wandering of remote four corners of the world with my few life savings stuffed in my worn backpack ended in my early thirties when a homeless kitten made me 'mom'. Of course, she needed a companion, so suddenly two reasons to adjust to a more stationery life. A few years later, two gorgeous lab puppies made that four, yet the labs were purely selfish additions, as I wanted someone to talk to while kayaking. And trust me, those early days were swimming excursions rather than kayaking, and considering they have me wrapped around each paw, still mostly are. Even our bushwalking and cycling outings inevitably end up in a creek, pond, river or anything else that contains water with me as soggy as those two. Naturally, there are times when I crave the glamour of a night out, slinky dress and high heels in an idyllic spot sipping a glass of red before dinner, but those cravings are getting fewer. These days I tend to prefer the picnic affair beside some picture perfect lake - with the crystal glass of red sensibly replaced by a plastic tumbler! Naturally, the puppies (though grown now, I can't bear to call them 'dogs') in tow - yet they carry their own lunchpacks.
I definitely have an adventurous streak -- whether it's trying out an exotic recipe in the kitchen (emphasis on 'trying'), abseiling in the Blue Mountains or learning to surf (again, emphasis on 'learning'). Yet, I do have more peaceful time as well, which is generally filled with listening to music (Dianna Krall's a favourite at the moment - she's got an exquisite voice) and painting. I rarely have time, nor the inclination, for TV - my attitude is that I'd rather be doing something than lounging on the couch. I work as a creative director, so spend most of the time stuck in front of the computer with the only breaks a quick 5 minute lunch down the road or getting one of the obligatory 22 cups of coffee (must aim to cut down) to get and keep me going with my self-inflicted 4.30am start each work day. Combined with a voracious appetite, that means doing active stuff is a necessity.
The type of guy that I'm attracted to is one who still thinks about 'what am I going to do when I grow up', whether richly successful or not. It's the type of guy who's not fixated with 'I hate my job' but does nothing about it. I guess it's the type of man who see's the glass being half full rather than half empty. The right man not only fascinates me but also brings out the best in me. We push each other to be the greatest people we can be. We bolster each other's egos and we leave short, thoughtful messages for each other when we're away on business trips - ok, so the latter may be a bit OTT, but that's what a wish list is for. If you're comfortable in your own skin, have a strong sense of self and aren't afraid to expose your flaws, I'm sure we'll get along just fine. And if you're at least 5'10, adventurous by nature and don't mind a tumble in the backyard (with the puppies of course), you're definitely welcomed!

The Ideal Partner Profile enables you narrow the search for the type of person you're looking for - ranging from age, gender, location, background, to their interests, whether they should/shouldn't have children and much more. It's a great idea to complete this section as
To activate/modify your ideal partner profile:
You can update your profile as often as you like - however, each time it is checked for appropriate guidelines and new photos are reviewed and can take up to 48 hours to be approved. To update any part of your profile:
You can choose to hide your profile at any time - especially if you're going on holidays or simply want some time out to explore the possibilities with someone you've met. Hiding your profile means you will be hidden from any searches other members and guests conduct. To hide your profile (or make it visible again),
Profiles will be frozen when members include unacceptable information in their profiles. Unacceptable information includes:
When RSVP terms and conditions have been breached by the inclusion of such information in a profile, RSVP may freeze that profile, suspend it or terminate the related account at its discretion.
If your profile is frozen, you can no longer make updates to your profile and you will need to Contact Us to have your profile unfrozen. RSVP reserves the right to deduct one stamp to unfreeze profiles.
To communicate with another member on RSVP, you need to be registered and have an active profile. There are 4 ways you can communicate with another member - kisses, email, instant messaging and Safe Calling.
RSVP helps you to keep track of your contacts through the 'Mailbox' feature. Here you can:
To access this feature
RSVP calculates your Reply Rate to recent emails and kisses from other members. This is shown on both your inbox and in 'My Home'. You should aim for as high a Reply Rate as possible, not just as a simple courtesy to other members but it will also assist you with your success on RSVP.
Your Reply Rate is measured by your replies to individual members within the last month. As long as you have responded to a member by kiss or email it will be considered a complete reply. So for example, if a member sends you 3 kisses and you reply with an email your Reply Rate is considered to be 100%.
To improve your Reply Rate, respond to all contacts in the last month.
This function lets you add member profiles in an easy to find and manage location. If you're interested in a member, simply click on the 'Add to Favourites'. You must be logged on to use this feature. From this list, you can:
There are two ways to reply to an RSVP Kiss.
And just a quick note: it's free to reply to a Kiss email you've received, so whether you're interested or not, please take the courtesy to respond regardless of your decision to pursue contact or not. It's good practice, especially if the tables are turned and you're the one waiting for a reply to a Kiss you sent someone.
This menu lets you keep track of the emails and kisses you have sent and received. It also allows you to see which members you currently have an open contact with, who is online, and members that you have blocked.
Use this feature if you feel that you need to block an RSVP from viewing your profile or contacting you. The blocked member will still appear when you search the site, but if they search the site; your profile will not appear to them.
Please note that we've implemented a contact system where you can communicate with a member for 30 days using one stamped email on our network - so you've got plenty of time to work out if you want to exchange private email addresses. If you're exchanging private email addresses, it's highly recommended to use a Hotmail or Yahoo! mail account for extra security.
The purpose of RSVP is to provide a safe environment for genuine singles to meet others, and we have a number of procedures in place to maintain this integrity. First, we encourage our members to be honest in their profiles and only upload current photos of themselves. We request confirmation of email addresses and mobile numbers to ensure contact initiated by our members goes to a valid person. Finally, we manually approve all profiles and photos for appropriate content. Unfortunately, we cannot check the integrity or truthfulness of profiles and do rely on our members to alert us to suspect profiles.
If you find a suspect profile, perhaps containing inappropriate content, a celebrity photo or otherwise, please Contact Us with the details of the suspect profile, including their RSVPName. As a result of our investigations, we will determine whether it is appropriate to take any further action against the member complained of.
Safe Calling offers RSVP members another way to contact each other safely and securely. Talk over the phone with any other RSVP member without revealing your phone number.
To set up your profile for Safe Calling you will need to complete the following checklist:
Safe Calling uses your existing phone numbers that are registered and confirmed with RSVP. Here's how it works:
Having problems? Make sure you've done the following;
One stamp will give you 30 days to communicate as much as you like through email, chat and Safe Calling with another member on RSVP.
To make Safe Calling calls, you will also need Calling Credits. You can purchase the following packages:
| Price | Minutes | Per Minute |
|---|---|---|
| $9.95 | 10 | $1.00 |
| $19.95 | 25 | $0.80 |
| $34.95 | 50 | $0.70 |
| $59.95 | 100 | $0.60 |
Call credits expire 6 months after purchase.
RSVP acts as the intermediary to connect the phone call between RSVP members - we do not disclose member phone numbers so you know you're safe and can choose to remain anonymous. When you click the call button you will receive a phone call that upon answering connects you to the member you wish to speak to. Therefore, despite using existing phone lines, the process ensures that members are able to remain anonymous. Important: make sure that you do not state any personal details on your voicemail, for instance if you are using your mobile phone number make sure that your voicemail message does not divulge private details so that if an RSVP member gets diverted to your voicemail it does not give out your personal information.
Before you can start receiving calls from other members you must set your availability. If you do not have any availability set then no one can contact you through Safe calling. As a security measure your availability defaults to none.
You can start setting available times to receive calls by going to your My Availability page. From here you can:
You will have access to a Calendar facility that will act as a central hub for all your Safe calling activity. It highlights your availability to receive calls and also the availability of the members you have permission to call. The Calendar displays a 7 day outlook and as a default will revert to your current time zone. You will be able to update the time zone you wish to be on and also view the 7 day outlook from any particular day in the calendar year.
We would like to highlight the following terms and conditions relating to the "Safe Calling" service:
Send a song was a feature that allowed RSVP members to send songs as a gift to another member. This product was discontinued on 11 August 2008 and is no longer available on the site.
If you have any queries regarding any book of songs currently in your account, please Contact Us with the subject line "song enquiries" and one of our support staff will be able to assist you.
When you download a song in Windows Media Audio (*.wma) format, a license is also downloaded to your computer. The song is protected and will require the license to be present to unlock the music. This is also referred to as Digital Rights Management (DRM). The DRM function allows you to transfer the song to your portable music player and create a CD (burn) up to 3 times for the downloaded song. There are, however, some older portable music players that are not capable of supporting DRM protected music. Please check with your portable music player manufacturer for more information.
Please Contact Us and include in the subject line "download interrupted - require re-activation" and we will action your request ASAP.
This could be due to a host of reasons, but the two most common are related to license issues and/or unsupported formats in your Media Player (e.g. Windows Media Player).
There are two steps involved in the music downloading process:
The songs and music in our store are delivered to you in Windows Media Audio (*.wma) formats respectively. When you play the songs you have downloaded, please ensure that the Media Player you are using (such as Windows Media Player) is able to support these formats.
You can use Windows Media Player 7.1 or above to play your songs. To check for the version of Windows Media Player that you currently have on your PC, start Windows Media Player and navigate to "Help" > "About Windows Media Player".
If you wish to obtain the latest version of Windows Media Player, please go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/ to download from the Microsoft website.
If you have clicked on the "Save" button during the downloading process and you are still experiencing playback problems, kindly contact RSVP directly.
Please ensure that your CD burning software allows you to burn protected Windows Media Audio (*.wma) music files. We recommend that you use Windows Media Player to burn your songs onto a blank audio CD.
You should also check that your music has sufficient remaining license rights to burn to CD.
If your computer is running Windows XP, you might want to take the following steps:
Here are a couple of items to help you determine why you might be having problems:
Please note: Apple iPod does not support the Windows Media Audio (*.wma) file format and therefore you will need to follow some simple steps to enjoy music on your iPod:
What do I do?
Following are some simple instructions to successfully download your music:
There is a chance that you have a pop-up blocker running which prevents the pop-up window prompting you to "Open", "Save", or "Cancel" the download.
If your PC is running on Windows XP (with Microsoft Service Pack 2 Update), please check at the top of your screen for a message reminding you that you have blocked pop-ups. This is a common security measure. If it happens, click on the message and request "Download File".
My portable music player says that I am playing protected content, what does this mean?
All the content available for is protected using digital rights management (DRM), a technology we use to ensure that artists' creative works and performances are protected. DRM manages the use and distribution of the songs you have downloaded.
Each song you download requires that a license be delivered to you when you download it. That license defines how the protected file can be used in terms of how you play it on your PC, burn it to CD and sync it to your portable music player.
I've used a PC in the office to download my song. When I try to download it again onto my home PC, Windows Media Player prompts me for a license and I am not able to play the song. Why is this happening?
You can only download a license for your song to one PC at a time. Once downloaded, you will be able to play the music file on that PC an unlimited amount of times.
This does not, however, mean that your listening pleasure is limited to the PC that you have used to download your music files. You can also transfer (or sync) your music files to a portable music player that supports the Windows Media Audio (*.wma) file format, or otherwise burn the song files onto an audio CD.
Please note that there is a limitation on the number of times you can burn and/or transfer songs due to the license agreement with the record labels.
You will be able to transfer a music file to a portable music player up to 3 times, and burn a song onto an audio CD up to 3 times.
To check the license details for a particular song using your Windows Media Player, right click on the file in the song list and select the "License" tab at the top of the pop-up window.
We recommend that you back up your songs so you can easily restore them in the event of a PC hard disk failure or if your hard disk is reformatted.
To check how many copies you can make:
The songs downloaded are only for your personal non-commercial use, and are not to be used for any commercial purpose, redistribution or sale.
You may not distribute, exchange, modify, pass off, make derivative works of, sell or re-sell, or transmit to any other person.
RSVP stamps are the currency used on our network. It is used to initiate contact with others on the site and opens up a 30 day contact channel with the other person allowing you to email and/or chat to your heart's content with the other member within that period for free.
You can purchase using any major credit card online or by phone, PayPal, BPAY, or via cheque and money order. Alternatively, you can purchase 3 stamps via a premium 1900 number, charged to your telephone account.
When you send an email using a Stamp, the member can reply to you for free - and this channel of communication is open for 30 days. That means you can exchange as many emails as you like on our secure network during this period without incurring additional costs. This 30 day period also lets you work out whether you want to disclose your private email. This helps protect your privacy and security until you're ready to disclose it. At any time, you can block a member if you no longer wish to correspond with them.
With a stamped RSVP email you can include any details you like, including and not limited to your personal email address and mobile phone number. Please note that you should only disclose such information if you are comfortable in doing so.
RSVP uses a cost per contact approach - providing you the benefit of contacting members at your own pace. RSVP Stamp books are pre-paid only - as we believe you can decide whether you want to continue using our services and simply purchase additional stamps if and when you want.
| No. of Stamps | Cost (incl. gst) | Cost per stamp | Expiry Period | Payment Option |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Book of 6* | A$59.95 | A$9.99 | 2 months | Credit card on-line, or by phone, PayPal, BPAY, cheque or money order sent to our office |
| Book of 12* | A$79.95 | A$6.66 | 3 months | |
| Book of 24* | A$99.95 | A$4.16 | 6 months | |
| Book of 3* | A$34.95 | A$11.65 | 1 month | 1900 number charged to your telephone account |
If you have unused stamps, RSVP will send you a reminder 10 days before they expire. If you use these stamps before they expire, the contact channel will continue to be open for the allocated 30 days.
You can check the status (validity) of your stamps at any time:
Stamp purchases are credited to your account upon approval (usually within 30 minutes for credit card purchases, and 2 business days for BPay purchases). Should you have any problems with your purchase, please Contact Us.
For payments via PayPal, please note that you will need to authorise and confirm your payment. If your stamps are not automatically credited to your account it is likely that the payment has been authorised but not confirmed. Please return to the Buy Stamps page, select the same book size and click the PayPal logo. You will see the authorised payment message. Simply click the "confirm" button and the stamps will be added to your account.
Stamps are non refundable and non transferable.
At RSVP, the security of your personal details, including providing a secure safe online payment environment, is of utmost importance to us. We take all reasonable precautions to protect the personal information we hold about you from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
Credit Card payments to RSVP are processed via the ANZ's secure online payment environment. Your payment details will be encrypted to ensure they are always kept secret and secure. Most browsers will show a lock icon in the bottom status bar on secure pages. Please click on the lock icon view logo to view the security certificate that verifies the website's identity. To further ensure your security, we use state-of-the-art SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption to protect your personal information from unauthorized use.
There are a number of ways you can find people that match your interests - from name search to a detailed advanced search which narrows your search results.
If you know the RSVPname of the person you are interested in (eg they have sent you an introductory email and you're interested in viewing their profile), you can enter it in the 'RSVPname' box in the Search sections). If you've entered a valid RSVPname, you'll be taken to that member's full profile. However, if that member has hidden their profile, it will not appear.
This is the fastest way to find people on RSVP. Simply select the gender, age range and location that suits your preferences. You can also select whether you want a smoker or non-smoker, and someone with or without children. The number of results will depend on the criteria you specify; however, the Quick Search will usually give you a large number of results.
The Full Search allows you to be quite specific about the types of people you're looking for. For example, you can specify personal characteristics such as height, body type and, hair and eye colours. If you don't get many matches, it may be that you've been a bit too specific in your criteria!
If you have set up your ideal partner profile, and you are logged on, the Full Search screen will automatically fill in the details of your ideal partner ready for you to start searching. Set up or change your ideal partner profile » (you need to be logged in).
Like the Full Search, the Two-Way Search lets you specify a range of search criteria. However, it also checks each match it finds against your profile, to ensure that you suit them. For example, if you are 35 years old and looking for someone between 32 and 40, and the search finds someone who is 27 but who is looking for someone over 30, a Full Search would return this person's details to you, but a Two-Way Search would not (because you are too young for them).
If you have set up your ideal partner profile, and are logged on, the Two-Way Search screen will automatically fill in the details of your ideal partner ready for you to start searching. Set up or change your ideal partner profile » (you need to be logged in).
You may also want to set up Cupid - so that future matches are conveniently delivered to your inbox by email. Set up or modify » (you need to be logged in).
Our location based search works on postcodes. If a member has entered an incorrect postcode, they may show up in the wrong search results. If your postcode is not correct then all the search results you receive will be outside your area.
To ensure your postcode is correct:
Keyword search allows you to search based on words that are found in other member's profile. You can add certain words or statements that will match your results with members that have the word stated somewhere in their profile. For instance if you type in the word 'tennis' it will only show members that have mentioned 'tennis' somewhere in their profile.
Here are some tips and tricks to get the most out of your keyword search:

Mail from members that match your ideal partner are placed in the "definites" folder, mail from members that don't match are placed in the "potentials". Similarly mail from members in your favorites list is placed in the "favourites" folder, and mail from RSVP staff in the "RSVP" folder.

In addition to providing our members a safe, quality environment to make contact with other singles online, we also host a variety of RSVP events nationwide. These events range from cocktail parties to harbour cruises to cooking classes and weekends away - and lots more. Designed to provide a quality environment for singles to meet other singles, it's also a great way for guests to find out about RSVP and its members prior to joining our community. The majority of our events are managed by RSVP Event Managers who are contracted to RSVP and host these on our behalf. Generally, there's something on every week around the country - so be sure that you're registered to receive our RSVP Events Alert which highlight events in your area.
To find out what's on in your area, click on the Events link in the hand navigation bar and select your State. All of our events are listed here. We also send notification of events in our fortnightly Events Alert email.

Members and guests alike are welcome at our events, and there's as many people arriving solo as those who come with a friend. There are great ice breaker games and our hosts are experienced in introducing you to others and making you feel comfortable. As the majority of our members prefer attending events where the age range is more closely matched to their own, we generally provide a guide as to the age range of the party. This way there's no surprises. Finally, we do monitor male/female ratios so there's a relatively even balance.
We have two type of events:
From mega parties, which provide a great opportunity to meet lots of singles, to cocktail parties for the more discerning members who prefer a more intimate environment where age and male/female ratios are more closely monitored, it's about having a positive attitude and enjoying an environment to meet and mingle with other singles. We also host bushwalking, tennis, sailing, golf and a variety of other events from members who prefer the great outdoors or more active pursuits. These are generally smaller groups. Our cooking classes are a huge success - as they are hosted by a highly qualified chef and a fun filled night.
We strongly encourage members and guests to pre-register for our events, as it reserves your spot, enables us to manage male/female ratios and allows us to better cater for the event.

RSVP IM (Instant Messaging) lets you chat online via text -- in real time -- with other members who are currently logged on RSVP. You can even search for members who are currently online and have their IM enabled. All correspondence is conducted via our RSVP interface, so your real email address is never revealed to the other member.
Instant messages are text messages that you can send to other people who are online when you are. Your message is delivered immediately, and the person you sent the message to can immediately respond (or can choose not to respond) - just as in a face-to-face conversation. Here are a few basic steps to help you get started:
You can enable and disable Instant Messaging at any time.
To initiate a chat with a particular member it will cost you 1 stamp. A stamp will give you a time-frame of 30 days to chat with this member. Within this period, you have an open channel to initiate any number of chat sessions with that particular member without incurring another stamp. It is free to accept an instant message. The stamp initiates a chatting period and within that time either party has an open channel and can initiate further chat sessions with each.
Please do NOT accept an invitation to chat with a member if you are not interested in chatting with them - as this will cost them a stamp if you accept their invitation to chat with you.
Not everyone has enabled the instant messaging setting on their profile and therefore there will be members that won't be ready to instant message with you. Also, you can only instant message with members who are currently online and are waiting to instant message therefore you will need to know how to identify them.
When conducting a Search you can specify it to only include members that are able and/or available for instant message. Make sure to adjust the search accordingly under the heading Available For Instant Messaging.
When viewing a particular profile you can see if they are chat enabled by looking at the top left of their profile page. Next to their RSVP name there will be a instant messaging icon that will indicate the status of the profile. You can put your mouse over the icon to display a message tag that will describe the meaning of the icon. The selection:
Member is online and available for instant messaging
Member has an open contact with you, and further contact (via email or chat) is free for the duration of that open contact
The open contact to this member has been stopped. You will not be able to engage in further contact until the current open contact has expired
