Communication Requirements
Do you find it annoying when a married member tries to contact you or maybe you aren’t interested in having kids, wouldn’t it be great if you could stop other users from contacting you based on a list of preferences?
Datepad now offers all users the ability to maintain a communication requirements list and today we are starting with 4 main requirements. If you select any one of these the user will not be able to chat, message or nudge you. We are starting with 4 and will grow the list based solely on user feedback, today you can block a user if he/she is married, a smoker, has kids or is only interested in an intimate encounter.
You can access these requirements by visiting your preferences page when logged in.
As mentioned we are looking for user feedback on the expansion of this list, please add a comment with your suggestion.
As always we are busy adding new features to ensure Datepad is the best free dating site available.

Don’t write off married people as potential dating material. I am married and in the middle of a divorce. However, that should not rule me out of the dating scene. I gave comittment to my ex-partner for over a decade, had a child, love it, supported it and will continue to for as long as I possibly can. These are the values that someone choosing a partner should be looking for!!
I am sick and tired of being written off as a waste of time just because I am separated and have a child. I am successful, very solvent with houses in three countries, have loads of work, am a very hard worker, stable, sensible, mature and intelligent (with two degrees).
And yet stupid dating websites think that such people are a write-off, and this is totally wrong.
There are genuine situations where a person is in the middle of a separation or divorce and is still a genuine person who seeks a date. Relationships are very very complicated things and all you people who are writing off married/separated people will learn this in the years to come when you reach a crisis point in your marriage or relationship, as you will, because everyone does.
I am not condoning those idiots who obviously want “quickie” meeting and are clearly having a “bit on the side” - but there are people who are not in this category, such as me: separated, married, but fully comitted to finding someone else and loving them.

Fred,
The problem isn’t guys like you it has everything to do with your last comment, married folks looking to have relations while still in a committed relationship!
That being said the relationship status options within Datepad gives you the option of stating that you are divorced or separated. Choosing either of these options won’t block you from those that don’t want to be contacted by married users.
I hope this clarifies our stance and how the system works.
All the best,
Shawn
