0 miles away?

edited May 2019 in General

Why does it say for some profiles “0 miles away“? I highly doubt they are. Anyone know. Any clue? ?

  • Means same city as you

  • Ever seen “When a Stranger Calls”? Same thing.

  • @FunCartel oh no! lol. I think I saw it long time ago.

    @pmvines interesting. Thank you. ?

  • I seen people in the same city and it stilll shows a few miles, 0 miles means they’re very close. I’d asssume

    @BashfulLoner interesting. Same here, just checked. I think back then when I’d search for others, which I didn’t do much, I’d notice that. Though, now I definitely do. Maybe the ones with “0” are super close. Or it’s due to some other reasons... preventing their distance from registering.

    Edit: I think they are pretty close. Though, to keep some anonymity it’s given a range in which if the person is close, it doesn’t say so. end of edit.

  • What it means is you were looking at one of your fake profiles....

  • I think even fake profiles will have to register a location, i know i had some sort of vpn browser that i was using and i couldn’t access the site. But I’m not a computer guy so this is all conjecture.

  • @FunCartel no. Are you projecting? ?

  • @Lovelight You would have to message one of my other profiles to get an answer on that! ?

  • They’re inside your phone

  • @FunCartel I see you employed your deflection tact, I’ll let that remain a mystery. ?

    @Morpheus when I was a kid, we used to listen to the radio where I lived. I used to think there were mini seats in the radio, and that the people talking stepped away from their seats. So, every time it was on, I’d look through the tiny holes to see if there were people coming to sit. Then, I grew out of it.

    It actually happened. ?

  • is the mileage based on the city you put or the location the site detects (if the site detects location at all? i don't know if this is the case and wouldn't want to put folks in a panic if that's uneasy). I think LA, being a huge area, would be weird if it was listed as 0 miles on a profile user that was on the other far end of the city.

  • @StellaLiz no worries! Thanks for your input. It can create a bit of issues I suppose. Though, it helps to just talk with the person in whatever the city to determine location, anyway. I was just curious as it seemed odd to show a higher number for some in the same city.

  • Hey guys, I was told that your own profile will say 0 miles from yourself and that the location feature is not so accurate... I notice the mileage change when I go to California from Nevada but I once cuddled with someone visiting from Texas and it still showed over 2,000 miles away even though we were cuddling 0 miles from eachother.

    Probably means same zip code (in US) or postal code (elsewhere). Either way they are geographically desirable.

  • @cuddle4health thank you for that note!

  • @cuddle4health It would still show 2000 miles if they never changed their location on their profile. I do not change my location because I travel so much and I would be doing it all the time if I did, so it will show hundreds or thousands of miles even when a cuddler is in the same room. This website is not a gps tracking item.

  • I have noticed that it seems to mean they are less than a mile away since I have never seen .5 miles or any other decimal.

  • @DarrenWalker I take it as an attempt to depict that part of my childhood. lol. Where is that from? ?

  • That means it’s you since you are looking at your own profile!!

  • @RajafromNJ it does it for other people, as well. While for some in the same city it shows a more believable distance. It’s alright though, I was just trying to make sense of it.

    @Lovelight: It's one of Gary Larson's Far Side comics. I'm pretty sure it's in this book somewhere—but not 100% sure, because it's been a while since I saw my Dad's Far Side collection, and he may have a different one.

    Larson's pretty funny.

  • @DarrenWalker cool. Thank you for linking them. I only pretty much ever read 2 comics. Which, I don't really remember their names. I found them pleasant/interesting.

    I found the name of one of them:

    Calvin and Hobbes

  • [Deleted User]DarrenWalker (deleted user)

    @Lovelight: Eh? Well... there are some similarities in humor (sometimes), but Calvin and Hobbes was drawn by Bill Watterson, while Gary Larson's responsible for The Far Side.

    Different comic strip universes.

  • @DarrenWalker Cool. I get it, just saying that I barely read comics. ?

  • [Deleted User]DarrenWalker (deleted user)

    @Lovelight: Oh, I see! You weren't saying you've only ever read two comics by Gary Larson, you were saying you've only ever read comics from two different strips out of all the comic strip universes there are in the world. I misunderstood.

    English can be so equivocal. :p

    @DarrenWalker alright. Yeah, I barely read comics. ?

    Edit: by the way, I remembered the name of the other comic: "Suppandi comics"

    It was funny and pleasant to read, as far as I remember. end of edit.
