What is Categories?

In short

The labels a site uses to sort members by the kind of arrangement they want.

A category, or niche, is a label a site uses to group members by the kind of arrangement they are looking for, such as casual dating or swinging. Sites often carry several labels at once, and the mix tells you the tone of the messages you can expect. For example, 3Fun is listed under casual and swinger, while 50plusmatch.be is listed under mature. If the label you want is missing, expect fewer people in that category.
