Before you begin, please note:

The questions below (except for the 'freetext') are the ONLY ONES used for matching, the only ones that impact the number and type of matches you receive.

If you'd like to understand the matching process before you make any edits, please go to the faq for a complete description.

You do NOT need to answer ALL the questions below, just your email address, whether you want your matches resent, and then whatever other criteria you'd like changed.

Your complete email address? (this must the the SAME ONE YOU USED TO SIGN UP, or we won't be able to edit you).

(REQUIRED)

CHANGE the email address associated with your profile? If so, type the new one.

We do NOT recommend using a HOTMAIL.com email address.

If you'd like to use a free email address, we DO recommend both
Gmail (Google's free email service) and Yahoo.
To the best of our knowledge, any other email
address would work quite well too.
If you want to know why we don't recommend Hotmail,
that's in our FAQ. However, we'd recommend NOT clicking over
to the FAQ first before submitting this form in case your
browser doesn't save the data you already entered here.
If Hotmail is the only place you have an email account and
you don't wish to register for any others, we will still accept
your profile, but please be forewarned you will probably NOT
get most of your roommate email.

Please pick one of these two options for the matches we'll send you in the future.

(REQUIRED)

I would like all current matches in the database for me resent. This might result in me seeing a few profiles more than once, but this way I'll make sure I don't miss anyone fitting my NEW preferences.

I would not like all current matches resent, just apply my edits to future matches.

NEW city? (indicate your new choice)

Is your area/city not listed?

1) Is your city a suburb of or near one of the above choices?
If so, please go back and select the city that is closest. Many folks that live in suburbs find good matches from our service, but we do matching by major metro only.
2) Do you want a more specific area?
If so, please go back and select your larger urban area, and then feel free to elaborate on your specific area within that city in the essay question at the end of this form. Matches are done by major metro only, but you can peruse your matches for any additional info re: more specific desired location and/or ask your matches exactly where they want to live.
3) Is your area not up there at all?
If so, Roomie Match does not yet serve that region.

Do you want this new city to be an addition to your profile, INSTEAD of a substitution (you want to be matched for both)?

UNLESS YOU CHECK THIS, YOUR OLD CITY WILL BE DELETED.
Yes
Please note: If you need to do something more complicated than just adding one city and/or deleting one other (in other words, if you have more than 2 cities in play), please just send an email and describe your current needs as specifically as possible. Remember, please send this from the email address you are currently using with us or reminding us what that is.

Rent amount? (If you are looking to share an existing place, lowering this amount will get you more matches. If you are looking to find a new place, raising it will get you more matches.)

I would prefer my roommate(s) be:
Males only. (this option will result in fewer matches) Females only. (this option will result in fewer matches)
Any gender is a good gender.

I prefer to live with other:

heterosexuals (this option will result in fewer matches) homosexuals or bisexuals (this option will result in fewer matches)
I am universally tolerant.

How old should your roommate(s) be?
Within the age range I checked for myself (this will limit your number of matches considerably). (As a reminder, the ranges are: 18-28, 29-39, 40-50, 51-65, and On Golden Pond.)
Time is but a meaningless continuum, while a human soul is ageless. (i.e., I'm open to living with other age groups.)

I didn't want pets before, but now I'm more open to that.
Yes

Smoking?
I handed out buttons during the last "Great American Smokeout." (I really HATE smoke . . . I'm allergic . . . I carry a fire extinguisher . . . ) Would you like to wear a button too?
I'd prefer any smoking not invade my air space. I smoke outside/on the porch/fire escape/etc. and/or you could.
Occasional or social smoke is OK, but not every day.
I love cigarette smoking, and cigarette smoking loves me. I require a smoke-friendly environment, and so do my ashtrays.
Bonfires, bongs, Marlboros, fire 'em up at will. Smoke whatever and wherever, just try not to burn down anything other than your room.

(This question is only for those who ALREADY have a profile looking FOR a place. If you previously had a place for a roommate to move in and now you instead/also want to look for a place to move yourself, you'll need to fill out a fresh profile, please refer to instructions above.)

I was previously looking only for a new place to move in, but now I'd like to expand my search to include people who also need a place and looking together.
Yes

(This question is only for those who ALREADY have a profile looking FOR a place. If you previously had a place for a roommate to move in and now you instead/also want to look for a place to move yourself, you'll need to fill out a fresh profile, please refer to instructions above.)

I was previously open to the possibility of meeting another person who needed a place and looking together, but now I'd like to restrict my search to only people who already have a place to share.
Yes

FREE TEXT Area?

As before, this area is NOT used for matching. However, most subscribers are more attracted to profiles that contain something additional that either describes yourself or something about the roommate/household situation. If you fill out this field, this will replace anything you had in your essay area before. Contact information will be removed from this field.
Just so you know, ACTUAL HUMAN EYES will read all essays submitted prior to admission to the database. Anything deemed offensive or inappropriate is subject to staff editing prior to being seen by other subscribers.

Phone number(s)?

Whatever you enter here will replace anything else you indicated previously.
